Calculation problem

[Chaos 0]

Hello, i have a little problem. I need round number, but my hint says "0" for the variable "_n".

_posMax = 8;
_cnt = 14;

_n = _posMax/_cnt;
;~1.5
_n = floor (_n/1);

hint format ["_n - %1",_n];

Where is the problem?

Floor will always round down. Ceil will always round up. Round will round to nearest.

Maybe good to know is what programmers in other languages will often do is Floor ( n + 0.5 ) This will round to nearest but using a round down command.

Just noticed that you joined the forum 1 day after me :)

_posMax = 8;

_cnt = 14;

_n = 8/14;

_n = floor (0.57142..../1);

_n = 0

Your calculation is correct. It will be always 0 (zero).

Use ceil or round
