Rounding a textNumber

[Oman]

Hey everyone,

I have a game, that eventually calculates a textNumber based on data that you entered.

However when you enter the data, it sometimes comes to 12357.3758549.

It would very very helpful for the user, if it would automaticly round to the next HIGHEST number. EX. 1256.298909 (should now equal) 1257

Can i do this?

just use,

Code: Select all

char temp[2][255];
float num = textNumber;
sprintf(temp[0], "%f", num);
textNumber = round(textNumber);
sprintf(temp[1], "%f", num);
if(strcmp(temp[0], temp[1]) != 0 && temp[1] < temp[0])textNumber++;

yes, but i want it to round UP to the next HIGHEST number, no matter what the first number is. Does it do that?

doesent seem like it to me

double num = 12456.4678;
num = (int)(num+1);

try that.

Ok, Everyone, here is my game. If you Play WoW DOWNLOAD it!

Now, if you download it enter this.

total xp needed = 2000
average xp gained per kill = 120
xp i already have = 1000

then click the equals sign

now, my game will minus xp have from xp needed (that equals 1000).
Then divides the difference by average xp gained. The answer without rounding is 8.33333333 (and so on). I want the answer to round UP to 9. With Sparkies code it rounds down to 8. That is Not What I Want. AHHH, this is driving me CRAZY

[pixelpoop]

ceil(8.3333333333);

[Oman]

what? i dont understand your post pixelpoop

[pixelpoop]

use "ceil" to round a number up to the nearest whole number. You wanted 8.333333333 rounded to 9. This does that: ceil(8.3333333333);

[Oman]

ok, but i never know what the number will equal, and when i put

Code: Select all

ceil(textNumber);

on my textNumber actor it doesn't work

[pixelpoop]

I put this on the Draw Actor Script of a Text Actor:

textNumber=ceil(textNumber);

and it round properly.

oh, tyvm, that really helps when im grinding on WoW now.
