What share of requests failed
A status page shows the error rate as a whole percentage, because nobody reads four decimal places at a glance.
- Rounded to the nearest whole percent, halves going up.
- No requests at all means no rate: return 0.
- More errors than requests is impossible data — treat it as 100.
ErrorRate(errors: int, total: int) → int
C# needs a compiler and Drill does not host one yet, so this page is the reference rather than an exercise: the problem, worked examples, and the solution in full. To type it out, the same problem runs in Python.
Where you start
public int ErrorRate(int errors, int total) {
}Worked examples
| Call | Result |
|---|---|
ErrorRate(5, 100) | 5 |
ErrorRate(1, 3) | 33 |
ErrorRate(2, 3) | 67 |
ErrorRate(0, 100) | 0 |
Hint
Add half the divisor before dividing, then cap.
Reference solution in C#
public int ErrorRate(int errors, int total) {
if (total <= 0 || errors <= 0) return 0;
return Math.Min(100, (errors * 100 + total / 2) / total);
}
