Question

var output = Convert.ToDecimal(amount / 4);

labelOutput.Text = "You need: " + System.Math.Round(output,0);

this code is part of a calculator for a game

“amount” is how much the user wants to make, and to make a single item, you need 4 pieces ( / 4)

for instance:

how much?: 20

20 / 4 = 5

“you need 5 pieces

but when i enter 21, still says 5 pieces but the users needs 6 pieces to make 21 items (4 for every item)

How can i round up the output to make it say 6 instead of 5 when the input is, in this case, 21 – 23?

(sorry if I didn’t explain it good enough)

Answer 1

var output = Math.Ceiling(amount / 4);
