var cash, change, bet int64
:
bet = cash/4
// change is 0,1,2,3 meaning 0/4, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 dineros or zlottys or
whatever
change = cash - 4*bet // or, change = cash%4
// choose one of these
if change>0{
bet++ // a: round up means 1/4 and 2/4 and 3/4 go to 1
}
// ...or...
if change>=2{
bet++ // b: round up means 2/4 and 3/4 go to 1
}
cash = cash - bet
once you understand the above compare to these versions:
bet = (cash+3)/4 // this is Kurtis's advice, mode (a)
cash = cash - bet
...or...
bet = (cash+2)/4 // this is mode (b)
cash = cash - bet
