note 76887 added to language.operators.arithmetic

To the comment from nicholas_rainard: Your function is much more efficient, but should probably be combined with the first two lines from the function prior to yours: function int_divide($x, $y) { if ($x == 0) return 0; if ($y == 0) return FALSE; return ($x - ($x % $y)) / $y; } Permits for zero in either argument. Also, this always returns the floor of the division. Probably seems obvious to most, but it didn't to me at first. Maybe a rounding function would look like: function up_or_dn($x, $y) { if ($x == 0) return 0; if ($y == 0) return FALSE; return ($x % $y >= $y / 2) ? (($x - ($x % $y)) / $y) + 1 : ($x - ($x % $y)) / $y; } Adds 1 if the mod result is more than half $y (which if my math is right means the float result is .5+, so round up). Simplest example: $x = 3, $y = 2. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 209.172.8.80 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.arithmetic.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76887 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76887/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76887/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76887/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76887/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76887/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76887/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76887 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76887 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
