Strange, why is ceil not rounding up for ceil(a/b)!?

var a = 1
var b = 2
var c = a/b
ceil(a/b) will return 0
ceil(c) will return 0

This return 1 in other language like javascript.

Since both a and b are integers, a/b is performed using integer division. The result is 0. The ceiling function applied to 0 is 0.

Indeed, just tested with a=1.0 b=2.0 and ceil returns 1. Thanks for the enlightenment.
