ceil()
The `ceil()` function in p5.js rounds a number up to the nearest integer. Creative coders utilize this function for ensuring that values align neatly with pixel grids, which is crucial when dealing with graphics and positioning elements on the canvas. For example, when calculating the size of elements, using `ceil()` can help avoid fractional pixels that may render incorrectly or look uneven.
