Hidden test cases 3 and 5: //were standing here, but are secret(because they are hidden) They are just too big for floats and doubles....

maybe check before if a is even, and if a is even just save the result to an int. otherwise you also save the result in an int and than check whether you have to add 1......

This might be wierd but I don't know about the error I'm getting. This code was for the sololearn quiz https://www.sololearn.com/coach/22?ref=app And it shows test case #3 and #5 failed, which are internal ones, not shown

I even tested for odd values like 33 and 133 ,and the answer is right ,maybe someone else knows other values or maybe your method of doing it is wrong ,I am not sure ,I would recommend to rephrase your question as why the code challenge solution is failing for test 3 and 5 and put UN-SOLVED after it to get more responses

Because it's in the rules for rounding off that if the number before 5 is even, you subtract, and if it is odd, you add http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/geology/leveson/core/linksa/roundoff.html
