Question

Sorry for being to vague last time I asked this question.

I have this existing table in my database the shows the prizes for certain events. I am looking to run a query in phpMyAdmin to correctly make the existing prizes be multiplied by 50, divided by 2 then rounded up to the nearest whole number.

For example rank 1 in event_id 1 would be (120*50)/2 shown as new_prize.

an example of my table is as follows:

event_id   ranking     prize
1          1           120
1          2           60
2          1           10
2          2           5

I hope I have better explained it this time. Thank you for any help provided.

Answer 1

You can use ROUND(X) , CEILING(X) , FLOOR(X) for getting round off value

For Example

1.ROUND(X)

 select *,round((prize*50)/2) as new_price from events

It will return 5 for values of 4.8, and 4 for ‘4.1’

2.CEILING(X)

select *,ceiling((prize*50)/2) as new_price from events

It will return 5 for 4.8

3.FLOOR(X)

select *,floor((prize*50)/2) as new_price from events

It will return 4 for 4.8

thanks..
