The service ceiling is the maximum altitude of an aircraft during normal operations. Specifically, it is the density altitude at which flying in a clean configuration , at the best rate of climb airspeed for that altitude and with all engines operating and producing maximum continuous power, will produce a given rate of climb.
In mathematics, the floor function is the function that takes as input a real number x, and gives as output the greatest integer less than or equal to x, denoted ⌊x⌋ or floor(x). Similarly, the ceiling function maps x to the least integer greater than or equal to x, denoted ⌈x⌉ or ceil(x). [1]
V x increases with altitude and V Y decreases with altitude until they converge at the airplane's absolute ceiling, the altitude above which the airplane cannot climb in steady flight. The Cessna 172 is a four-seat aircraft. At maximum weight it has a V Y of 75 kn (139 km/h) indicated airspeed [4] providing a rate of climb of 721 ft/min (3.66 m/s).
By noting that ⌊ ⌋ = + (⌊ ⌋) and that the absolute value of ⌊ ⌋ is always between 0 and 1, () can be used to ignore the floor function in the index. Similarly, one can also ignore the ceiling function .
the floor, ceiling and fractional part functions are idempotent; the real part function () of a complex number, is idempotent. the subgroup generated function from the power set of a group to itself is idempotent; the convex hull function from the power set of an affine space over the reals to itself is idempotent;

Sometimes Congress raises the debt ceiling quietly, and sometimes lawmakers use the occasion to engage in a noisy debate over fiscal policy before raising the cap at the last possible moment.
