This is what I've ended up with, var n = 7; // how many partitions var pointSet = []; for (var i=0; i<n; i++) { var partition = 0; (i < n-1) ? partition = Math.floor(maxPoints / n) : partition = (maxPoints % n) + Math.floor(maxPoints / n); pointSet.unshift(partition)...

Ah! partition = (maxPoints % n) + Math.floor(maxPoints / n);

Yup, but [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4] = 16

I was actually doing my initial testing with floor() but I don't get the expected results either. Taking the same function, replacing round() with floor(), maxPoints = 18 results in [2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4]

I'm attempting to write this as a function and am not getting my expected results: var maxPoints = 18; // partition points into an array set var n = 7; // how many partitions var pointSet = []; for (var i=0; i<n; i++) { var partition = 0; if (i < n-1) {...

I am looking for advice on how to approach a problem. I would like to take a given number and break it into 7 parts. For example, the function call, BreakIntoSmallerNumbers(15); would return the following array: [3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2] BreakIntoSmallerNumbers(3); returns [1, 1, 1]...
