In this shot, we will learn how to round off a number to the next multiple of 5 using JavaScript.
We will start with the problem statement, followed by an example.
Given a positive integer i, round i to the next whole number divisible by 5.
Input: 47
Output: 50
Explanation: 47 is not divisible by 5, and the next whole number divisible by 5 after 47 is 50.
Input: 24
Output: 25
Explanation: 24 is not divisible by 5, and the next whole number divisible by 5 after 24 is 25.
i.i with integer 5.ceil of the above result.5.5 after variable i.//given numberlet i = 47;//calculate next whole number divisible by 5let nextNum = Math.ceil(i/5) * 5;//print next numberconsole.log(nextNum);
In the above code snippet:
2: We initialize integer i with value 47.5: We divide i with 5 and take the ceil of it. Then, we multiply it with 5 and assign it to the variable nextNum.8: We print variable nextNum to the console which is the next whole number divisible by 5 after the given number 47.//given numberlet i = 24;//calculate next whole number divisible by 5let nextNum = Math.ceil(i/5) * 5;//print next numberconsole.log(nextNum);
In the above code snippet:
2: We initialize integer i with value 24.5: We divide i with 5 and take the ceil of it. Then, we multiply it with 5 and assign it to the variable nextNum.8: We print the variable nextNum to the console, which is the next whole number divisible by 5 after the given number 24.
