Turn while loop into math equation?

Question

I have two simple while loops in my program that I feel ought to be math equations, but I\'m struggling to convert them:

float a = someValue;
int b = someOtherVa         


        

Answer 1

I think you want something like this:

c = ((int) a + b / 2 * sign(a)) / b

That should match your loops except for certain cases where b is odd because the range from -b/2 to b/2 is smaller than b when b is odd.
