How do I round to the nearest 0.5?
Multiply your rating by 2, then round using Math.Round(rating, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)
, then divide that value by 2.
Math.Round(value * 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero) / 2
Multiply by 2, round, then divide by 2
if you want nearest quarter, multiply by 4, divide by 4, etc
Here are a couple of methods I wrote that will always round up or down to any value.
public static Double RoundUpToNearest(Double passednumber, Double roundto)
{
// 105.5 up to nearest 1 = 106
// 105.5 up to nearest 10 = 110
// 105.5 up to nearest 7 = 112
// 105.5 up to nearest 100 = 200
// 105.5 up to nearest 0.2 = 105.6
// 105.5 up to nearest 0.3 = 105.6
//if no rounto then just pass original number back
if (roundto == 0)
{
return passednumber;
}
else
{
return Math.Ceiling(passednumber / roundto) * roundto;
}
}
public static Double RoundDownToNearest(Double passednumber, Double roundto)
{
// 105.5 down to nearest 1 = 105
// 105.5 down to nearest 10 = 100
// 105.5 down to nearest 7 = 105
// 105.5 down to nearest 100 = 100
// 105.5 down to nearest 0.2 = 105.4
// 105.5 down to nearest 0.3 = 105.3
//if no rounto then just pass original number back
if (roundto == 0)
{
return passednumber;
}
else
{
return Math.Floor(passednumber / roundto) * roundto;
}
}
There are several options. If performance is a concern, test them to see which works fastest in a large loop.
double Adjust(double input)
{
double whole = Math.Truncate(input);
double remainder = input - whole;
if (remainder < 0.3)
{
remainder = 0;
}
else if (remainder < 0.8)
{
remainder = 0.5;
}
else
{
remainder = 1;
}
return whole + remainder;
}
