Thread Subject: Jumping to the next interval

My problem goes like this :

I've a number line extending say from 0 to 600. I've divided
the line into equal intervals of 200 each. now i'm at 151 of
the 1st section. i need to jump to the next section say
number 201(of course - due to a condition), how do i
calculate the 1st number of the next interval? (that is 201)!

Thanks in Advance!

First, if your line is from 0 to 600, you have 601 points,
not 600. So let's assume your line is from 1 to 600.

If you know your current point is cPt = 151, then you can
get the first point of the next section using:

firstNext = ceil((cPt-1)/200)*200 + 1

Note that I had to use (cPt-1) to handle the case where
cPt=200.

A=[.....] (1,600);
numcell(A); % (for example) =600
b=numcell(A)/number of lines
(line number)*b+1
I hope I understood your question rightly

Ooops. Looking at this again, I was wrong. No need to use
cPt-1

firstNext = ceil(cPt/200)*200 + 1

is sufficient.

The equation is not working when cPt assumes the values
150,250 etc.,

How to solve this?
