Hello Guys,

I have an arithmetic exercice and I am stuck.

"Your program should read the number of students that can hold a room, then the number of students. Finally, it must display the number of rooms to reserve to hold all the students"

Example
entries :
5
29
output :
6

Here is my code : (nbEleveSalle will receive 5 and nbEleve will receive 29)

nbEleveSalle = int(input())
nbEleve = int(input())
résultat = (nbEleve//nbEleveSalle)+1
print(résultat)

The online plateform we use to validate our exercice, tells me this is not correct. Anyone have an idea please ? Thanks a lot

Hello, sorry, I edited my code. The output only says your programm give 7 instead of 6.

You do have a problem. What if you enter 5 and 30? The correct answer would be 6, and your program gives 7.
Instead of adding 1, you should only add 1 if the they are not evenly divisible. Use the modulo operator as your test.

Thank you Jefsummers. You're right. It's working now.
