    Distance program & dropping fractions?

    Hi, guys I am suppose to write a program that asks for the weight and distance then displays the shipping charge. The directions say "When calculating the rate, drop fractions of miles, then add one for each whole or partial segment of 500 miles". Does any of you guys know what this means? Please help!

    Re: Distance program & dropping fractions?

    It is a question about the English language.

    Drop fractions of miles
    If you have 2.3 or 2.8 miles, then drop .3 or .8 and keep only 2 miles.

    Add one for each whole or partial segment of 500 miles
    If you have 1400 miles, then you have 2 whole segments of 500 miles plus a partial segment. In that case you add 3 units.
