/*
    roundUp(n, multiple)
    --------------------
    Rounds the integer n *up* to the nearest multiple of `multiple`.

    Mathematically:
        result = ceil(n / multiple) * multiple

    We use integer arithmetic for efficiency:
        (n + multiple - 1) / multiple  → smallest integer ≥ n/m
*/

function roundUp(int $n, int $multiple): int {
    if ($multiple <= 0) {
        // Defensive programming: avoid undefined behavior.
        // In real-world code, you'd throw or handle this differently.
        return $n;
    }

    // Efficient integer rounding up:
    return intdiv($n + $multiple - 1, $multiple) * $multiple;
}

// main()
echo "roundUp(53, 20)  = " . roundUp(53, 20) . "\n";
echo "roundUp(68, 30)  = " . roundUp(68, 30) . "\n";
echo "roundUp(7, 100)  = " . roundUp(7, 100) . "\n";
echo "roundUp(119, 100) = " . roundUp(119, 100) . "\n";
echo "roundUp(781, 100) = " . roundUp(781, 100) . "\n";
echo "roundUp(1026, 100) = " . roundUp(1026, 100) . "\n";
echo "roundUp(11689, 1000) = " . roundUp(11689, 1000) . "\n";



/*
run:

roundUp(53, 20)  = 60
roundUp(68, 30)  = 90
roundUp(7, 100)  = 100
roundUp(119, 100) = 200
roundUp(781, 100) = 800
roundUp(1026, 100) = 1100
roundUp(11689, 1000) = 12000
