Bogus?

It is true that ceil() and round() return floating point numbers, but
-0 is not a number.

This is expected behavior. ceil() and floor() return a float because of
the large range of supported numbers.

The problem is also affected on round().

<?php
$a=-0.1
echo round($a);
// results: -0
?>

Hi,

the follow code results -0,

<?php
$a=ceil((1/16)-1);
echo $a;
?>

maybe, this is a convertion problem with float types.

also, why the ceil() command results a floating point number and not an
integer?
It makes sense when the ceil command accept a precision like
round()...

Regards,

Steve
