Rounding to nearest multiple of 0.5 keeping 0.25 as the deciding factor

[sandeep_joseph]

Dear All,

How could I round amounts as illustrated by the following examples in Adobe Livecycle Designer?

8.06 = 8.00, 8.26 = 8.50, 8.74 = 8.50, 8.76 = 9.00

Thanks,

Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

I don't think there's any trick to doing this, you just have to test and adjust the values yourself, something like;

app.alert(roundToNearestHalf(8.06));

app.alert(roundToNearestHalf(8.26));

app.alert(roundToNearestHalf(8.74));

app.alert(roundToNearestHalf(8.76));

function roundToNearestHalf(number)

{

    var result = Math.floor(number);

    var fraction = number - result;

    if (fraction >= 0.75)

    {

        result++;

    }

    else

    {

        if (fraction > 0.25)

        {

            result += 0.5;

        }

    }

    return result;

}

Regards
