Integer syntax

[JJN]

I have ten men who each are assigned a number(obviousl y 1-10). I need to randomize them so that each man's number corresponds to each day of the month for the year. The days that the men are assigned have to be equal. The weekends have to be equal as well.

OK. Did you need help trying to do this?

The numbers won't end up being exactly equal, as 365 / 10 is 36.5, so some men will have 36 days and 37 days.

If you have the time I would appreciate it.

What I would do is assign each person a number from 0 - 9 and then use a Modulo 10 to assign days to each person. This isn't entirely random as each person will come up every 10th day.

Could you show me an example of this, let us say for the month of April.

Day 1 = 1, Day 2 = 2, Day 3 = 3, etc.
1 Mod 10 = 1 = Person 1
2 Mod 10 = 2 = Person 2
.
.
.
10 Mod 10 = 0 = Person 0
11 Mod 10 = 1 = Person 1
12 Mod 10 = 2 = Person 2
.
.
.
20 Mod 10 = 0 = Person 0
.
.
.
30 Mod 10 = 0 = Person 0

So with some sort of loop, you can loop through all the days and assign them accordingly.

I am moving this to Miscellaneous Discussions as I don't think it's appropriate for the cafe.

Thank you, but I do not understand. What is Mod?

[Rabbit]

Modulo is an operator that returns the remainder of a division. In VBA it's Mod, in C++ i believe it's %.

Personally, I think this discussion sounds suspiciously "homeworkis h".

[Rabbit]

They didn't specify a programming language so I was inclined to believe it was some sort of work schedule.

Yeah, could be.
