The question asks you to round up the answer to the nearest whole number. I've used round() but my ans is 66 instead of 67

Question

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int houses;
cin>>houses;
int a ;

a = 200 / houses ;
cout << round(a) ;

return 0;
}

Answer 1

Kruti
Have you also changed one of the operand ( 200 or houses ) to double/float ?

If yes then try using ceil () instead to round UP floating point number.

Answer 2

double a = 200.0 / houses.

round() doesn't help if you define <a> as `int`, cause `int` doesn't care about fractionals, there is no decimal point to consider for rounding the number.

Answer 3

Arsenic thank you so much! I tried ceil() yesterday but didn't use double houses. It is correct now.

Answer 4

Ipang I tried with double a. Still the answer is 66.
How do I round it up to the largest number? Right now 66.3 is rounded off as 66 but the question asks to round it off as 67
