how would i loop this

[raptrex]

ok so i have 4 ints: sales1,sales2,sales3,sales4
they will each have a whole number ie. 100,10920,2901 ect
i need to display a star for every hundred from sales1,2,3,4 after its rounded ie 100 = *, 200 = **

all i can think of is an if else statement like this
if (50 <= sales1 <=150)
{
System.out.println("*");
}
else if (150 <= sales1 <= 250)
{
System.out.println("**");
}
else if (250 <= sales1 <= 350)
{
System.out.println("***");
}
else if (350 <= sales1 <= 450)

this way would take to long as the int can be like in the thousands
but im sure theres an easier/better way to do this so any ideas?

so basically, im trying to get this to be like this:
Store 1: ***************
Store 2: ************
Store 3: ********************
Store 4: *****************

if (50 <= sales1 <=150)should be

if(sales1 >= 50 && sales1<=150)
and similarly for others.

sales1stars = sales1 % 100;
for (i = 1; i<= sales1stars; i++)
{
System.out.println("*");
}

riwan, dividing by modulus only leaves the remainder. (which will be less than 100)

So, if $sales1 = 547, then $sales1 % 100 would yield 47, not 5.

I think this may work:

sales1 = 547
cents1 = sales1 / 100;
remainder1 = sales1 % 100;

while (cents1 >= 1) {
echo '*';
cents1--;
}
if (remainder1 >= 50) { echo '*';}



Repeat with other sales variables.

thanks redmatrix, it worked with a bit of modifying :P

lol, well just trying to help, I'm half awake at the time, But you get what my point is

raptrex, Wow, I'm glad you were able to find a tweak that worked!

riwan, it's cool.
