How to find the next set of ten of a number?

[Robert Scheer]

Hi.

Suppose I have a number 55. The next exact set of ten will be 60. If
my number is 72 the next exact set of then will be 80 and so on. Is
there any function that can find the next set of ten of a given
number? I read abou the Math class, but it seems that it doesn't have
such a function.

How about
y = Math.Ceiling(x / 10) * 10

There is no function to do that but this will work:

Dim number as integer = 55
dim result as integer = ((number+10)\10 )*10

Hope this helps

That will definitely work, but I can't say I've ever like how "\"
division does the casting to the integer. I've found that many
programmers (especially junior level) don't know about that feature
and it can lead to some very confused maintenance programmers. For
that reason I highly recommend that whenever you use that feature, you
put in a comment to make sure future developers know what's going on.

I'm not sure that gives the desired result when number is already a multiple of
10, say 50 or 60, for instance. It depends on what is wanted in that case.

That depends. The question doesn't define what the next exact set of ten
would be for all numbers. If the number is at the beginning of an exact
set of ten, and the expression should then return that set instead of
the next, you should add 9 instead of 10:

Dim number As Integer = 50
Dim result As Integer = ((number + 9) \ 10) * 10

It doesn't do any casting, it's just an integer division.

It can be at least as confusing how the / operator actually does casting
in VB. In many other languages the operator is overloaded to use the
type of the operands, but in VB it always casts the operands to Double.

Your concern is well grounded, however. We can't expect VB programmers
to have (or be able to obtain) the knowledge of more than the most basic
concepts of the language, so anything unusual should not be used in the
code. ;)

Yeah, I wrestled with what to put, and finally decided that calling it
"casting" would work. Not sure why "integer division" escaped me!

There are those who understand why (4.5 \ 1.5) produces 2, and those who don't.

(4.5 \ 1.5) should generate at least a compiler warning since neither number
is an integer.

Second try,

Hi Robert,

A typical homework question as very much developpers forget the Mod.
However, as there are so many questions give, I break as well the rules.

55 + 10 - 55 Mod 10
