I need help with a simple algorithm.

I need to make a code that takes X number of students, and puts them in y number of buses. each buses holds 40 students.

Code:

---

  {
        Scanner keyBoard = new Scanner(System.in);
       
        int busCompacity = 40;
       
        int numStudents = keyBoard.nextInt();
       
        int fullBuses = numStudents / busCompacity;
       
        int r1 = numStudents % busCompacity;
       
        int totalBuses = fullBuses + r1;
       
        System.out.println (  + numStudents + " Students will require " + totalBuses + " buses" );
      }
     
     
  }}

---

this is what i have so far but it doesn't seem to work out .

i need every integer besides 0 to be converted into 1 extra bus.

I CANNOT USE IF STATEMENTS. EX.

Code:

---

if (r1>0) {
r1=1
}

---

i need an algorithm that does the same thing or just computes the problem correctly with any instance of students.

PLEASE HELP

Does the code compile? If not and you can't understand the compiler's messages, post them. Your code will need to define a class and give it a main() method.

that is just a portion of the code i have a main () method.

<<< there is no compiler error the problem is that the algorithm doesnt have the right out come for all instances of students 1 to 1000

@OP: Please don't do this. Stick to one thread per question.
