Hi to everyone, I'm a new user of S-math.
I'm a newbie to programming.
Today I had to make a calculation to size the number of seats in a waiting room according to the total number of people.
The number of seats must be 1 for every 30 people.
I tried to make the calculation automatic via S-math, but I was unable. I thought the for loop might help me, but I don't know how. Can someone help me?

You should start from the problem itself... How would you solve it in mathematical or pseudocode form?

That's my understanding of your project.

Hi I try to explain better what I want to calculate.
I would like to set up a for loop that allows me to do the same calculations as the if loop in the figure.


for example

if n.pers < 10 ---> n.s = 1
if n.pers > 10 & n.pers < 30 ---> n.s = 2
if n.pers > 30 & n.pers < 60 ---> n.s = 3
if n.pers > 60 & n.pers < 90 ---> n.s = 4
and so on

I don't know how if it's possible set up this cycle, anyway thanks.

You don't need an iteration.
Ceil() and cases() shall work for you.

Hi
I'm probably doing something wrong because, for exemple, with 40 or 70 it doesn't work.

Probably, please use the file below.

The suggestion of Overlord is correct. You can also define a function and make different corresponding values ​​calculate (using the Vectorize function)

Thank to all. you are great!
I used an old version. Now work correctly in my pc, too.

Not related with OP's question.

You can elongate at will:
1. collect the last condition from RHS
2. double coma
