Get the ratio with obeying the law

[fenglish]

Hi,

The law defined how to calculate the ratio of something.

I want to get that ratio by using program method, and added a comment as below.

/**
* Get the ratio with obeying the law.
*/
public float getRatio() {
...
}

I'm confusing with the "with obeying" and "by obeying":

1). Is it correct to use "with obeying the law" in this case?
2). Can I use "by obeying the law" in this case?
3). Are they all correct?

Thanks.

I think you mean "Use the rules to compute the ratio."

No, it's not rules. The ratio is defined in the law.

Does it make sense if I said "Get the ratio with obeying the law."?

What law are you referring to?

What law are you referring to?

Let me try to explain the law by giving an example.

The ratio is 5% now and it will change to 2% from September 23, 2020.

Whose law is this? What country?

Whose law is this? What country?

It's a documentation stated what ratio should be used based on the "ratio publish date".
Please don't ask me to provide that documentation.

As I have said, it's defined like this:
The ratio is 5% now and it will change to 2% from September 23, 2020.


I think I can ask the same meaning by using the word "rule" instead of "law".

1). Is it correct to use "with obeying the rule" in this case?
2). Can I use "by obeying the rule" in this case?

 

[SoothingDave]

So, it's not a law.

It's a rule that comes from some unknown place and is being changed for some unknown reason.

Refer to post #2 for the best wording.

What about the question?

1). Is it correct to use "with obeying the rule" in this case?
2). Can I use "by obeying the rule" in this case?
