New from version 4.0
The $ceil operator in Amazon DocumentDB, as in MongoDB, rounds a number up to the nearest integer. This is useful when you need to perform mathematical operations on numeric fields and ensure the result is a whole number.
Parameters
Example (MongoDB Shell)
This example demonstrates how to use the $ceil operator to round up a numeric field.
Create sample documents
db.numbers.insertMany([
{ "_id": 1, "value": 3.14 },
{ "_id": 2, "value": -2.7 },
{ "_id": 3, "value": 0 }
])
Query example
db.numbers.aggregate([
{ $project: {
"roundedUp": { $ceil: "$value" }
}}
])
Output
{ "_id": 1, "roundedUp": 4 }
{ "_id": 2, "roundedUp": -2 }
{ "_id": 3, "roundedUp": 0 }
