Considering that sprintf knows how to do rounding, it's just a trivial matter of scaling:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; foreach my $n (0, 1, 10, 24, 25, 26, 49, 50, 51, 74, 75, 76) { printf "%3d: %3d\n", $n, 50 * sprintf "%.0f" => $n / 50; } __END__ 0: 0 1: 0 10: 0 24: 0 25: 0 26: 50 49: 50 50: 50 51: 50 74: 50 75: 100 76: 100
Note the bankers rounding.
