How can I print a math calculation without decimal point numbers in Javascript

Question

/* Snail in the well challenge, I think I'm close but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, please read the comments at the end */
function main() {
var depth = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
//your code goes here
var distance = 0;
var days = 1;
var t = 0;
for (; distance <= depth; distance++)
{
t+=1;
if (days == depth )
{
t+=7;
break;
}
distance +=4;
}

console.log(t);
}

/* I can also try this
answer = depth / 5 but I will get a decimal point number like 8.4

Answer 1

Use:

Math.floor() // or
Math.ceil() // or
Math.round() // or

Answer 2

either convert your float value to int by using | (bitwise OR) 0, or rounding it (round, floor, ceil) or truncate it... or convert it to string using .toFixed(0) method ^^

Answer 3

Or maybe you can just change your code to this ,

var distance = 0;
var days = 0;

while(true){

days+=1;
distance+=7;

if(distance>=depth){
break
}
else{
distance-=2;
}

}
console.log(days);

As others suggested floor or ceil , but you need to use floor if depth is 42 but ceil if depth is 126 !

Answer 4

function main() {
var depth = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
//your code goes here
let distaceCover, days;

distaceCover = depth % 5;
days = depth - distaceCover;

if (distaceCover > 2) {
console.log((days / 5) + 1);
} else {
console.log(days / 5);
}
}
