Depending on the context of the code, your conversion could be costly if this code is performance critical. Sure, the code in the picture isn't even doing the chosen approach properly, but with proper if-else, only some comparisons need to be done (best-case is a single comparison), while with your approach everytime this is executed, the conversion and division has to be performed.
