Another possibility:
use strict; use warnings; my @nums = qw (0 1 4 5 6 11 14 15 16 20 24 25 26 30 34 35 36); foreach (@nums) { print "in=$_\t rounded=", round_nearest5($_), "\n"; } sub round_nearest5 # for an positive integer numeric value { my $in = shift; my ($last_digit) = $in =~ /(\d)\s*$/; if ($last_digit <5 and $in >= 10 ) { $in =~ s/(\d)$/0/; } elsif ($last_digit >=5) { $in += (10-$last_digit); } return $in; } __END__ in=0 rounded=0 in=1 rounded=1 in=4 rounded=4 in=5 rounded=10 in=6 rounded=10 in=11 rounded=10 in=14 rounded=10 in=15 rounded=20 in=16 rounded=20 in=20 rounded=20 in=24 rounded=20 in=25 rounded=30 in=26 rounded=30 in=30 rounded=30 in=34 rounded=30 in=35 rounded=40 in=36 rounded=40

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
