    <p>I am writing a function to figure out a players score for a golf game (Not a standard round of golf, but a custom game).</p> <p>This figures in the actual score, the hole's handicap and the player's handicap.</p> <p>For example: If the player shoots a 6, and that player's handicap is 6 and the holes handicap is a 4 the player would get a score of 5 on the hole. Here is why:</p> <p>If the player's handicap is less than or equal to the hole's handicap they receive -1 point from their actual score. On an 18 hole golf course, holes have a handicap ranging from 1 to 18. So if a player has a handicap of 18 they will receive -1 point from the score of each hole. So as long as the player's handicap is 18 or less, this is easy for me to figure out. The problem I am having is how to calculate this if a player's handicap is over 18. A player could have a handicap anywhere from 1 to 99.</p> <p>So if a player's handicap was 21 they would receive -1 point on all 18 holes. Then on the holes who's handicaps are 1, 2, &amp; 3 they would receive an additional -1 point on those holes as well. So if the player's handicap was 36, they would have -2 points of their score for all holes.</p> <p>This is the function I have so far:</p> <pre><code>function handicapCalc($hole,$player,$score){ if($player &lt;= 18){ if($hole &lt;= $player){ $finalScore=$score-1; }else{ $finalScore=$score; } }else{ //FIGURE SCORE IF HANDICAP IS LARGER THEN 18 } return $finalScore; } </code></pre> <p>$hole is the variable of the hole's handicap, $player is the player's handicap &amp; $score is the player's score.</p> <p>I need to figure out a calculation to allow for a handicap over 18.</p> <p>Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.</p> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT [SOLVED]</strong></p> <pre><code>function handicapCalc($holeHandicap,$playerHandicap,$holes,$score){ $perHoleHandicap=floor($playerHandicap/$holes); $leftOvers=$playerHandicap % $holes; if($perHoleHandicap &gt;= 1){ $firstScore=$score-$perHoleHandicap; if($leftOvers &gt;= $holeHandicap){ $finalScore=$firstScore-1; }else{ $finalScore=$firstScore; } }else{ if($perHoleHandicap &gt;= $holeHandicap){ $finalScore=$score-1; }else{ $finalScore=$score; } } return $finalScore; } </code></pre>

    1. CO`(handicap % 18)+1` and `floor(handicap/18)` might be a starting point.

    2. COThis is also something where writing some automated tests (even without a framework) will ease your mind while developing this code.
