I am writing a javascript code which gives output of a X which always divisible by Y
For example if I have 7 which is not divisible by 4 but I want the code to add number up to 8
This is the code I did, it works for 7, but it should work for value 8
var x = 7
var y = 4
x = x + (y - x%y)
console.log(x)
I get the output 8 which is correct, but
var x = 8
var y = 4
x = x + (y - x%y)
console.log(x)
I am getting 12 which is not correct, I want the same 8
My question is, without putting an if condition how I will make this formula work?
>Solution :
This should also do it:
var x = 8
var y = 4
x = x+y-(x-1)%y-1
console.log(x)
