Round To 5
August 13, 2019
Every morning when I drive to work the highway signs display commute information: 7 minutes to Manchester Road, 11 minutes to Olive Blvd, speed ahead 55 mph. That’s little comfort when I’m sitting still on the highway. The “speed ahead” calculation is always rounded to the nearest 5 mph; the Department of Transportation takes a bunch of speed readings from sensors buried in the pavement and averages them.
Your task is to take a list of speed readings and average them to the nearest 5 mph. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
