Units of a number and if over by 1 it counts as two? -
i new programming using java , can't utilize fancy solve this. assume simple math can't seem figure out.
i need determine how many units of 25 (in miles) bundle beingness shipped (remember parts of 25 count total 25, 75 3 units of 25 while 76 4 units of 25).
so how do math find out how many units number user enters be. 25.
i tried partition wont give me 2 units if miles / 25.
please help!
editi have found online using (miles + 24) / 25;
but not understand that...
you round it. computer languages have means of rounding integers.
many languages today have mod operator (often % sign) returns remainder after division.
so, can utilize
(1) int wholeunits = miles / 25; (2) remainder = miles % 25; (3) if (remainder != 0) wholeunits = wholeunits +1; so, (1) determines number of whole units -- 75 homecoming 3, 74 homecoming 2, , 76 homecoming 3.
(2) give remainder when dividing 25. so, 75 % 25 = 0. 76 % 25 = 1. , 74 % 25 = 24.
(3) if remainder other zero, need add together 1 wholeunits. so, 75 have 0 remainder 3. 74 homecoming 24, , you'd add together 1 2 have, getting 3 whole units. , 76 homecoming (3+1) = 4.
so, there different ways of doing it, depending on language you're using. easiest thing figure out round function , utilize it. can long way these 3 steps if prefer.
