Without really considering the error you're experiencing, I'd say an easier implementation would be
return floor(x * 4.0 + 0.5) / 4.0;


If you want to round down instead of to nearest:
	return floor(x * 4.0) / 4.0;

Or round up this way:
	return ceil(x * 4.0) / 4.0;

You can change the rounding by replacing "4.0" with "1.0 / roundAmount". (e.g. 1.0 / 0.25 == 4.0)

I am in the process of converting an Applescript Studio app I wrote a couple of years ago to ObjC (as a learning experience). The following code doesn't compile and I'm not sure why. What I want to do is round a float to the nearest .25 (quarter inch). Here is the code:

- (float)roundToNearestQuarter: (float)numberToRound {

float decimalNumber;
int intNumber;

decimalNumber = (numberToRound * 100) + 125;
intNumber = decimalNumber - (decimalNumber % 25); // error: invalid operands to binary %
return intNumber / 100;
}


What do I need to change to make this work?

Thanks,
