Another math problem

Recommended Posts

ok, I have three items in the database

 

group01

group02

totalgroup

 

group01 must total totalgroup

group02 must total totalgroup

 

What i'm trying to do is make a percentage from 0-100%, but both groups must equal the totalgroup for it to be 100%

 

So, if totalgroup equals 100 than group01 and group02 must each equal 100

 

Then I take group01 and group02, add them together, then divide by totalgroup to give me a percentage of 0%-100%.

 

The problem I'm having is if totalgroup equals 200, and group01 equals 200 and group02 equals 0, it still shows 100%, and it shouldn't because group02 must equal totalgroup.

Does this make sense?

 

The code I'm using now is this

if($row1['group01] = $totalgroup) {
$totaloverall= $row1['group01'];
}
else {
$totaloverall = $row1['group01] / $totalgroup;
}
if($row1['group02] = $totalgroup) {
$totaloverall01= $row1['group02'];
}
else {
$totaloverall01 = $row1['group02] / $totalgroup;
}

 

Then this

$total = $totaloverall+$totaloverall01;

$number =  round(($total / $totalgroup) * 100) ;
if($number < 0 ) $number = 0 ;
if($number > 100) $number = 100 ;

 

 

Can anybody help me out here?

 

Thanks in advance

Yes, that works, and I've tried that, but happens is

 

if totalgroup = 200 and group01 = 200 and group02 =0, the total is still 100%, and it shouldn't be because group02 has to equal totalgroup as well

 

$totalnum=200;

$group1=200;

$group2=0;

$grouptotal=group1+group2;

$grouptotal=$grouptotal/2;

$grouptotal=$grouptotal/$totalnum;

$grouptotal=$grouptotal*100;

 

That would be 50%. Of course I think if group1 = 100, group2=200, and totalnum = 300 it would be 100% and thats not what you want.

 

Maybe like:

 

$group1=100;
$group2=300;
$totalnum=400;
$totalnumdiv=$totalnum/2;

if ($group1==$totalnumdiv && $group2==$totalnumdiv) {
  echo("Group1 and group2 are the same number and equal to totalnum.");
}
else {
  echo("Group1 and group2 are not the same number but may be equal to totalnum."); //This is what it should return.
}

 

I think that should work. Try it with group1 and group2 equaling 200.
