    • Hi,

    Was wondering if anyone could help me with a mathsy programmy problem. Its been driving me nuts:

    Given an infinite number of colums, where odd numbered columns have x cells and even numbered columns have y cells. Each cell can hold one object, how do i figure out the column number of the nth item.

    For further clarification and example;
    x = 4
    y = 3


    At the moment i do some stupid while loop to work this out, Id love it if there was a one liner, or simple maths formula. Speed is essential here :(

    Thanks for your help guys :)

    K.I.S.S.
    Want help with your scripting problems? Upload a demo! Or at the very least; provide links to the scripts in question.
