Round digits number hundereths

I need some advice.

how to round the destination position to ..

5,21 to 5,20
5,22 to 5,20
5,23 to 5,25
5,24 to 5,25
5,25 to 5,25
5,26 to 5,25
5,27 to 5,25
5,28 to 5,30
5,29 to 5,30

is there any method I can use to round this up? I don't know what to do 😞

    My syntax is not exact but it will be something like this

     

    mystring = aqVarToStr(mynumber)

    if (aqString.SubString(mystring,0,1 = 1) or (aqString.SubString(mystring,0,1 = 2) then

       mynewstring = aqString.Substring(mystring,0,3) + "0"

       mynewnumber = aqConvert.StrtoVar(mynewstring)

    if (aqString.SubString(mystring,0,1 >= 3) or (aqString.SubString(mystring,0,1 <=7) then

       mynewstring = aqString.Substring(mystring,0,3) + "5"

       mynewnumber = aqConvert.StrtoVar(mynewstring)

    if (aqString.SubString(mystring,0,1 = 8 ) or (aqString.SubString(mystring,0,1 = 9) then

       mynewnumber = round(mynumber)

      function test42(numb)
      {
      var mystr, mynewstring, mynewnumber;

      mystr = aqConvert.VarToStr(numb);

      if (aqString.SubString(mystr, 0, 1 = 1) || aqString.SubString(mystr,0,1 = 2))
      {
      mynewsting = aqString.SubString(mystr,0,3) + "0";
      Log.Message(mynewsting)
      mynewnumber = aqConvert.VarToStr(mynewstring);
      Log.Message(mynewnumber)
      }

      else if (aqString.SubString(mystr, 0, 1 >= 3) || aqString.SubString(mystr,0,1 <= 7))
      {
      mynewsting = aqString.SubString(mystr,0,3) + "5";
      Log.Message(mynewsting)
      mynewnumber = aqConvert.VarToStr(mynewstring);
      Log.Message(mynewnumber)
      }

      else if (aqString.SubString(mystr, 0, 1 = 8) || aqString.SubString(mystr,0,1 = 9))
      {
      mynewnumber = Math.round(numb)
      Log.Message(mynewnumber)
      }
      }

      I've rewritten your script into executable form but it doesn't work... it says error with number in first if .. photo

        if (aqString.SubString(mystr, 0, 1 = 1) || aqString.SubString(mystr,0,1 = 2))

         should be

         

        if (aqString.SubString(mystr,0,1) = 1 || aqString.SubString(mystr,0,1) = 2)

         

        note the change in parentheses and do that in the other ifs

    try it without the elses, just put three separate if statements

      Log here..

      I put it only on ifs and now when calling a method with a value e.g. 8,11 it is still rounded up to 8,15 and in addition the third IF is fulfilled which in my opinion should not pass at all. mynewnumber = aqConvert.VarToStr(mynewstring); - after the conversion the value (for IF 1 and 2) is not displayed in the log at all... I don't know why 😕

       

      Thank you
