How to round a integer to the close hundred?
I don't know it my nomenclature is correct! Anyway, these are the integer I have, for example :
76
121
9660
And I'd like to round them to the close hundred, such as they must become :
100
100
9700
How can I do it faster in C#? I think about an algorithm, but maybe there are some utilities on C#?
Solution 1:
Try the Math.Round
method. Here's how:
Math.Round(76d / 100d, 0) * 100;
Math.Round(121d / 100d, 0) * 100;
Math.Round(9660d / 100d, 0) * 100;
Solution 2:
I wrote a simple extension method to generalize this kind of rounding a while ago:
public static class MathExtensions
{
public static int Round(this int i, int nearest)
{
if (nearest <= 0 || nearest % 10 != 0)
throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("nearest", "Must round to a positive multiple of 10");
return (i + 5 * nearest / 10) / nearest * nearest;
}
}
It leverages integer division to find the closest rounding.
Example use:
int example = 152;
Console.WriteLine(example.Round(100)); // round to the nearest 100
Console.WriteLine(example.Round(10)); // round to the nearest 10
And in your example:
Console.WriteLine(76.Round(100)); // 100
Console.WriteLine(121.Round(100)); // 100
Console.WriteLine(9660.Round(100)); // 9700
Solution 3:
Try this expression:
(n + 50) / 100 * 100
