/*
    next_multiple_of_10:
    --------------------
    Returns the next multiple of 10 greater than or equal to n.

    Algorithm:
    - Add 9 to n: this ensures that any number not already a multiple of 10
      will "spill over" into the next multiple when integer-divided by 10.
    - Divide by 10: integer division truncates toward zero.
    - Multiply by 10: reconstruct the multiple of 10.

    Example:
        n = 23 → (23 + 9) = 32 → 32 / 10 = 3 → 3 * 10 = 30
        n = 40 → (40 + 9) = 49 → 49 / 10 = 4 → 4 * 10 = 40
*/
def next_multiple_of_10(n: Int): Int = {
    ((n + 9) / 10) * 10
}

/*
    main:
    -----
    Demonstrates the function with a sample input.
*/
object Main {
    def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
        val nums: Array[Int] = Array(23, 10, 0, 1841, 1)
        val length: Int = nums.length

        for (i <- 0 until length) {
            println(next_multiple_of_10(nums(i)))
        }
    }
}
