Number To Round Up

💾 The number to round up to the nearest integer.

Supported formats:
  ✓ Number
  ✓ Stringified Number

Input Setup

Input Function (optional)

⚙️ Optional pre-processing function applied to the input before internal logic (e.g., convert string to number, apply mathematical operations). Internal transformations such as type handling will still apply afterward.

Result Handling

Output Function (optional)

⚙️ Optional function to apply to the result before returning it (e.g., num => num + ' units', val => val.toString() for string conversion). Useful for chaining transformations on the output.

🎯 Using special value — click input to type instead

Test with:

Falsy undefined null "" empty 0 false NaN

Truthy true 42 "hello" {} empty [] empty {a:1} [1,2,3]

🔗 Result Handling — Chain Variables

Chain apply-mode variables to the output. Each variable receives the result of the previous one.
