  Check if a decimal number is halfway from two integers c#

  Jun 28, 2017 07:23 PM|xtinction84|LINK

  I need to round the numbers like this:

  If 1 or 1.5 or 2 or 2.5 or 3 or 3.5 or 4 or 4.5 or .... and continues....

  does not round!

  if for example 1.1 rounds to 1, - Math.Round(1.1, 0) = 1

  if for example 1.7 rounds to 2 - Math.Round(1.7, 0) = 2

  My problem is do deal with the numbers like 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and so on....

  Please help me.

  Thanks

  Are you doing this in a web application or desktop/console app?

  to round to the nearest 1/2, first multiple your number by two, then round, then divide by two

  decimal x  = 4.3M;
  decimal roundedx = Math.Round(x*2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero)/2;
  Console.WriteLine(roundedx);
  
  //results in 4.5

  No.

  if 4.3 should be 4.0 or just 4

  in case 4.5, should not round. 

  My question is, how I detect that any number (like 4.5) is half from 4 and half from 5, so, I dont want to round!

  I dont want to round

  your above two statements contradict each other.

  if 4.3 should become 4, then you just rounded down.

  If you'd prefer to round down, then you could do this

  decimal x  = 4.3M;
  decimal roundedx = Math.Floor(x*2)/2;
  Console.WriteLine(roundedx);

  4.3 becomes 4

  4.5 stays 4.5

  4.6 becomes 4.5

  etc...

  No. I think I find the solution... like this:

   var value = 4.3;
   var max = Math.Ceiling(value);
   var min = Math.Floor(value);
   var ret = 0.0;
  
   var isHalf = ((max + min) / 2 == value)
   if (isHalf) //Is half or int, so, not round
      ret = value;
   else
      ret = Math.Round(value, 0); //round
  
  Console.WriteLine(ret);
  
  /*
  So: 
  4.3 -- goes to 4.0 
  4.7 -- goes to 5.0
  4.5 -- stay igual, so 4.5
  
  0.1 -- goes to 0.0 
  0.6 -- goes to 1.0
  0.5 -- stay igual, so 0.5
  */
  

  I dont know if there is a solution more fast.

  Hi xtinction84,

  According to your description, as far as I know, as far as I know, you could use division to check if this value is a multiple of 0.5.

  Sample Code:

   double a = Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text);
       if (a % 0.5 == 0)
        {
           Response.Write(a);
        }
        else
         {
           Response.Write(Math.Round(a));
        }

  Best Regards,

  Eric Du
