If I have an equation that if the given value is not natural, and it shall be always rounded up, I can describe it with a ">", right? Or this was just an example? Sorry for the dumb question. Your video is great, and I am always waiting for more.

[@TheTaylorSeries]

Well, sort of. You don't want to use > if you're just going to round up, because you might end up including values tha tare way beyond what the situation calls for. You might want to then use the Ceiling function, which will round up the answer. But, I'd have to see the situation to be sure. :) What's the scenario?

@@TheTaylorSeries I was calculating how many recipients I should buy to store my coins, but if it gave me a float number I should round it up. Thank you for answering and if let me ask, is there any formula or something which only takes the rest of a division, because I wanted to make a limit, like hour, then it would be something like f(80)=20, or f(60)=0. Or I am just thinking too much about the writing rather than the math? Sorry if it is a dumb question and again, thank you for your content, it got me back into studying math.

@@gabrielschilive7675 I'm not quite sure what you mean by the rest of a division, but I would hazard a guess that you want the modulus. Basically, the modulus operator says "What is the remainder when you perform the division?" And, the symbol for modulus is % in programming. So, 10 % 3 = 1, for example. Is that what you mean?

@@TheTaylorSeries Yes, thank you. I translated directly from my mother language, sorry. You are great!

wait if it would take you half the time of a regular gig why would you charge a fifth :p
