- OJFord 5y agoUsage varies, there are a few notations for specifying whether the set of natural numbers/positive integers includes zero when it matters. 'Always round up' sounds more like the ceiling function (or ceil•abs) - usually rounding means to the nearest integer, or whatever we're rounding to.
