Get closest value from sequence

Lists-Logic
1

I’ve got a list of values (shown in the Watch node), and I’d like to generate the distance & direction to the nearest value from the sequence.

for example, the new list would read:

  • 100
  • -50
  • -100
  • 50
    etc

If you’re comparing to an actual sequence (equally spaced values) then you can just round to that specified precision and then take the difference from the original value.

How would I go about that? The OOTB rounding nodes I found only concerned themselves with digits, rather than rounding to a specific figure from a sequence?

Just a little math:

Math.Round(value/precision)*precision;
