classify array elements without so many if statement

hello,everyone

Now i have an array A with double element between 0 to 8 ,now i want to sort them with interval length 0.5 ,i.e.

if A(i)<0.5
        A(i) = 1;
    else 
        if A(i)<1
            A(i) = 2;
        else
            if A(i)<1.5
                A(i) = 3;
            else ...

But this is too lengthy and stupid...i wonder if there are any better ways to handle it.
