I can't recall where I saw this originally, but you can use the spaceship operator "--0--" to turn floor division into ceiling division: >>> 12//5 2 >>> --0-- 12//5 3 There's also the ++0++ operator when you want to emphasize that you really *do* mean floor division: >>> ++0++ 12//5 2 But yes, -(-n // d) is the easy (if a little bit cryptic) way to get the ceiling of n / d. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43255> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
