How to round a calculation in UBot 4?

[tooltrainer 12]

In searching the forum I only found things that were clearly for much older versions.

 

So in UBot 4, how can we go about rounding a calculation?

 

My application: I'm posting links somewhere and it supports only 20 at a time. But I may have an arbitrary number to post, so I loop through the process of posting 20 links, but I need to know how many times to loop, up front. I can figure this out by taking X number of links, divided by 20. But now say I have 50 links, that's 2.5 times. I'm fine with just truncating down to only 2 times. I don't need to get every last link.

 

How can I round the result down?

 

Thanks all!

Hi,

 

Sample using javascript Math.ceil

Code

set(#num1, 50, "Global")
set(#perpage, 20, "Global")
set(#loopit, $eval("var worknum = {#num1}/{#perpage};
worknumrnd = Math.ceil(worknum);
worknumrnd"), "Global")

Thanks guys! Only thing is, I'm not looking for a true "round", but for a "round down". For instance I'd want to round 2.8 down to 2. Any pointers?

Hi,

 

Sample code using Math.floor:

set(#num1, 50, "Global")
set(#perpage, 20, "Global")
set(#loopit, $eval("var worknum = {#num1}/{#perpage};
worknumrnd = Math.floor(worknum);
worknumrnd"), "Global")
