Whole numbers

[artsapimp]

I am needing to take the average of 5 numbers that will usually be between 800 and 1200 each. The numbers I am returning need to be whole numbers (906, not 906.42634...). Thanks for any help.

How about using Vb6's Round function?

MsgBox Round(906.42634) 'returns 906

If you do not have Vb6, you can use this code:

Function Round(nValue As Double, nDigits As _
Integer) As Double
Round = Int(nValue * (10 ^ nDigits) + _
0.5) / (10 ^ nDigits)
End Function

Usage:

MsgBox Round(906.42634, 0) 'returns 906
MsgBox Round(906.42634, 2) 'returns 906.43

In VB I'm sure that would work. I just don't know how to make that work in ASP. I tried using the Round function as follows but it didn't work.


round(intAht_avg = (int(aht1) + int(aht2) + int(aht3) + int(aht4) + int(aht5) + int(aht6) + int(aht7))/5)


Thanks for any help

The round() function is available in vbscript and works just like Matthew described...


intAht_avg = round((round(aht1) + round(aht2) + round(aht3) + round(aht4) + round(aht5) + round(aht6) + round(aht7))/7))
'If you need an average, you will need to divide by 7 not 5 here)

'Or for a more acurate (but not totally accurate) average:
intAht_avg = round((aht1 + aht2 + aht3 + aht4 + aht5 + aht6 + aht7)/7)

I found that using Cint did exactly what I was looking for. Thank you though.

The people I would be doing these for are working 5 out of the 7 days, so dividing by 5 was the correct number. the others default to 0
