Figuring out if number is multiple of 14

**msimmons** · Dec 10th, 2001, 02:32 PM

I need to know if a number is a multiple of 14. I am dynamicly creating a calendar where I don't know the dates I want to display are at design time. I want to show rows of 14 days. If the user's date range is 2 days then I need to make it 14 if their range is 15 I need to make it 28 (two rows of 14) if it is 30 I need 42, ect.
I think I need to do something like :

Code:

intMod = intVar / 2 
intMod = mod(intMod)
if intMod = 0 then 
do something

but im not real sure, I havent worked with mod since pascal

The modulus operator is what you want, but I can't help. I know of no good VB reference. That is my number one complaint with the language.

You can try % to see if it works.

Or, maybe something as bulky as:

VB Code:

intWhichSerie = intCurrIndex Mod 14

way to find out if a number is a multiple of 14 is

if mynumber / 14 = int (mynumber / 14) then

end if

I think I'm going to do it with an if/then tree.

Code:

If datTotal <= 14 Then
	datTotal = 14
Else
	If datTotal <= 28 Then
		datTotal = 28
	Else
		If datTotal <= 42 Then
			datTotal = 42
		Else
			'alert... you have too many days
		End If
	End If
End If

Code:

<% @Language="VBScript" %>
<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <%If Request.Form("DayCount") <> "" Then%>
      <p>
        You should put 
        <%
          If (Request.Form("DayCount") Mod 14) Then 
            Response.Write(Int(Request.Form("DayCount") / 14 + 1) * 14)
          Else
            Response.Write(Int(Request.Form("DayCount") / 14) * 14)
          End If
        %> 
        days on the calendar.
      </p>
    <%End If%>
    <form action="daycount.asp" method="post">
      <input type="text" name="DayCount">
      <input type="submit">
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
