Checking to see if a number is 'natural'

[anon538]

I am creating an application that has to check for natural numbers. By natural numbers, I mean positive whole numbers.

//natural needs to equal 1,2,3, etc.
if(minutes % 60 == natural) {
minuteField.value = minutes;
}

How can I can I do this? Thanks.

Heya, Anon. Welcome to TSDN!

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles do not follow the Posting Guidelines actually get FEWER responses?).

Try this instead:

function isNatural( val )
{
    return ( (val > 0) && (Math.floor(val) == val) );
}
 
if( isNatural(minutes % 60) )
{
    ...
}

Thanks, it worked perfectly. I'm not sure what was wrong with my thread title, but nonetheless, I really appreciate your help.

Heya, Anon.

I don't remember, either. Ah well.

Glad to hear you got it working! Good luck with your project, and if you ever need anything, post back anytime :)
