Re: rounding values to the nearest 5 or 10

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=F6ran_Andersson?=]

hi there,

any help with this one? i have say, numbers which i'd like to be rounded to
the nearest 5 or 10, example:

147.24 -->>150
181.99 -->> 180
824.18 -->>825
822.49 -->>820

and so on.. is there anything that i can do this right away in .net or would
i have to somehow create my own little rounding function for this?

thanks,
Paul

Divide the value by five, round it to the nearest integer, then multiply
it by five.

Example:

double x = 147.24
int y = (int)Math.Round(x / 5.0) * 5;

(This will of course round the number to 145, not 150 as you used in
your example.)
