We get the quantity of a product shipped from the database, and a list of individual carton labels from an external file. The actual contents of each carton are unknown. Working assumption would be qty per carton = shipped qty / carton count. Easy enough. But what if the division doesn't come out clean?
If shipped quantity is 8 and carton count is 5, first 3 cartons will have 2 each, last 2 have 1. Yeah, almost too simple to mention. But this came up today, and I remember little code bits like this better when I write them down somewhere. Update: s/box/carton/ In reply to Distribute the leftovers by GotToBTru
