How to round an integer up to the nearest multiple of 'multiple' in Go

1 Answer

package main

import "fmt"

/*
    roundUp(n, multiple)
    --------------------
    Rounds the integer n *up* to the nearest multiple of `multiple`.

    Mathematically:
        result = ceil(n / multiple) * multiple

    We use integer arithmetic for efficiency:
        (n + multiple - 1) / multiple  → smallest integer ≥ n/m
*/

func roundUp(n int, multiple int) int {
    if multiple <= 0 {
        // Defensive programming: avoid undefined behavior.
        // In real-world code, you'd throw or handle this differently.
        return n
    }

    // Efficient integer rounding up:
    return ((n + multiple - 1) / multiple) * multiple
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println("roundUp(53, 20)  =", roundUp(53, 20))
    fmt.Println("roundUp(68, 30)  =", roundUp(68, 30))
    fmt.Println("roundUp(7, 100)  =", roundUp(7, 100))
    fmt.Println("roundUp(119, 100) =", roundUp(119, 100))
    fmt.Println("roundUp(781, 100) =", roundUp(781, 100))
    fmt.Println("roundUp(1026, 100) =", roundUp(1026, 100))
    fmt.Println("roundUp(11689, 1000) =", roundUp(11689, 1000))
}



/*
run:

roundUp(53, 20)  = 60
roundUp(68, 30)  = 90
roundUp(7, 100)  = 100
roundUp(119, 100) = 200
roundUp(781, 100) = 800
roundUp(1026, 100) = 1100
roundUp(11689, 1000) = 12000
