Next related number

Returns the next higher or lower number in a given range.

// Returns the next higher or lower number
function NextRelatedNumber($number, $range){   
    $r = $number % $range;
    $f = $number - $r;
    $b = round($r / $range, 0);

    return ($b == 1) ? $f + $range : $f;   
}

// Returns the next higher number
function NextHigherNumber($number, $range){   
    $r = $number % $range;
    $f = $number - $r;
    $b = ceil($r / $range);

    return ($b == 1) ? $f + $range : $f;   
}

// Returns the next lower number
function NextLowerNumber($number, $range){   
    $r = $number % $range;
    $f = $number - $r;
    $b = floor($r / $range);

    return ($b == 1) ? $f + $range : $f;   
}

// Returns the next related number from an array
function NextNumberArray($Number, $NumberRangeArray){

    $w = 0;
    $c = -1;
    $abstand = 0;

    $l = count($NumberRangeArray);       
    for($pos=0; $pos < $l; $pos++){

        $n = $NumberRangeArray[$pos];

        $abstand = ($n < $Number) ? $Number - $n : $n - $Number;

        if ($c == -1){
            $c = $abstand;
            continue;
        }
        else if ($abstand < $c){
            $c = $abstand;
            $w = $pos;
        }
    }

    return $NumberRangeArray[$w];
}


// Examples
// --------

// 0 10 20 30 40 50 ...
print 'NextRelatedNumber: ';
print NextRelatedNumber(44, 10) . "\n";
// returns --> 40

// 0 20 40 60 80 100 ...
print 'NextHigherNumber: ';
print NextHigherNumber(41, 20) . "\n";
// returns --> 60

// 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 ...
print 'NextLowerNumber: ';
print NextLowerNumber(57, 5) . "\n";
// returns --> 55

// Example with Array
print 'NextNumberArray: ';
print NextNumberArray(45, array(3, 8, 19, 34, 56, 89)) . "\n";
// returns --> 34
// (45 is between 34 and 56 but 34 is the next)
