Round a divided number in Bash
bash, linux, math, rounding, shell
Solution
To do rounding up in truncating arithmetic, simply add `(denom-1)` to the numerator.
Example, rounding down:
N/2
M/5
K/16
Example, rounding up:
(N+1)/2
(M+4)/5
(K+15)/16
To do round-to-nearest, add `(denom/2)` to the numerator (halves will round up):
(N+1)/2
(M+2)/5
(K+8)/16
Problem
How would I round the result from two divided numbers, e.g. ``` 3/2 ``` As when I do ``` testOne=$((3/2)) ``` $testOne contains "1" when it should have rounded up to "2" as the answer from 3/2=1.5
