# std::chrono::ceil(std::chrono::time_point)

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | chrono‎ | time point

Defined in header `<chrono>` |  |
template< class ToDuration, class Clock, class Duration > constexpr std::chrono::time_point<Clock, ToDuration> ceil( const std::chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>& tp ); |  | (since C++17)

Returns the smallest time point `t` representable in `ToDuration` that is greater or equal to tp.

The function does not participate in the overload resolution unless `ToDuration` is a specialization of std::chrono::duration.

### Parameters

tp | - | time point to round up

### Return value

tp rounded up to the next time point using duration of type `ToDuration`.

### Possible implementation

    namespace detail {
    template<class> inline constexpr bool is_duration_v = false;
    template<class Rep, class Period> inline constexpr bool is_duration_v<
        std::chrono::duration<Rep, Period>> = true;
    }

    template <class To, class Clock, class FromDuration,
              class = std::enable_if_t<detail::is_duration_v<To>>>
    constexpr std::chrono::time_point<Clock, To>
        ceil(const std::chrono::time_point<Clock, FromDuration>& tp)
    {
        return std::chrono::time_point<Clock, To>{
                   std::chrono::ceil<To>(tp.time_since_epoch())};
    }

### Example

Run this code

    #include <chrono>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <string>

    template <typename TimePoint>
    std::string to_string(const TimePoint& time_point)
    {
        return std::to_string(time_point.time_since_epoch().count());
    }

    int main()
    {
        using namespace std::literals::chrono_literals;
        using Sec = std::chrono::seconds;

        std::cout << "Time point\t" "Cast\t" "Floor\t" "Round\t" "Ceil\n";
        std::cout << "(ms)\t\t"     "(s)\t"  "(s)\t"   "(s)\t"   "(s)\n";
        for (const auto value_ms: {5432ms, 5678ms})
        {
            std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::system_clock, std::chrono::milliseconds>
                time_point_ms(value_ms);

            std::cout
                << to_string(time_point_ms) << "\t\t"
                << to_string(std::chrono::time_point_cast<Sec>(time_point_ms)) << "\t"
                << to_string(std::chrono::floor          <Sec>(time_point_ms)) << "\t"
                << to_string(std::chrono::round          <Sec>(time_point_ms)) << "\t"
                << to_string(std::chrono::ceil           <Sec>(time_point_ms)) << "\n";
        }
    }

Output:

    Time point	Cast	Floor	Round	Ceil
    (ms)		(s)	(s)	(s)	(s)
    5432		5	5	5	6
    5678		5	5	6	6
