quick code

ok this sounds easy but which is the best way of doing this?

in a for loop (lets say up to 100), for numbers where a multiple of X, print something. for a multiple of Y print something else. For a multiple of X and Y, print something else.

does that make sense? how would you find out (or the best way) if you are in multples?
would that be the mod operator? if so, then would this be right?

for (int counter = 0; counter < 100; counter++)
{
if (counter % X == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("something 1");
}
else if (counter % Y == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("something 2");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(counter.ToString());
}
}

but what about the last part "if they are multples of X and Y"?

I was thinking % was the way to go as well. Maybe something like this?

            int x = 2;
            int y = 3;

            for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
            {
                if ((i % x == 0) && (i % y == 0))
                {
                    Debug.WriteLine(i.ToString() + " is divisible by " + x.ToString() + " and " + y.ToString());
                }
                else if (i % x == 0)
                {
                    Debug.WriteLine(i.ToString() + " is divisble by " + x.ToString());
                }
                else if (i % y == 0)
                {
                    Debug.WriteLine(i.ToString() + " is divisible by " + y.ToString());
                }
            }

yeh thats what I done but for the both multiples of X and Y it never evaluates to true but is THAT correct in itself?

[nmadd]

Really?

Here is my output from the code above:

2 is divisble by 2
3 is divisible by 3
4 is divisble by 2
6 is divisible by 2 and 3
8 is divisble by 2
9 is divisible by 3
10 is divisble by 2
12 is divisible by 2 and 3
...

I'm doing it for multiples of 3 and 5.... could be why? give it a shot

[nmadd]

...
15 is divisible by 3 and 5
18 is divisble by 3
20 is divisible by 5
21 is divisble by 3
24 is divisble by 3
25 is divisible by 5
27 is divisble by 3
30 is divisible by 3 and 5
...

hmm i dont get that. :-/
I figured it out (ordering of the IF statement) but still dont get your results.

15 is divisable by 5
16 is divisable by 3
17
18 is divisable by 3 and 5
19
20 is divisable by 3
21 is divisable by 5
22 is divisable by 3
23
24 is divisable by 3 and 5
25
26 is divisable by 3
27 is divisable by 5
28 is divisable by 3
29
30 is divisable by 3 and 5


code:

for (int counter = 1; counter <= 100; counter++)
			{
				multiple3 = counter % 2;
				multiple5 = counter % 3;

				if (multiple3 == 0 && multiple5 == 0)
				{
					//this.listBox1.Items.Add("fizz");					
					System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString() + " is divisable by 2 and 3");
				}
				else if (multiple3 == 0)
				{
					//this.listBox3.Items.Add("fizzbuzz");		
					System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString() + " is divisable by 2");
				}
				else if (multiple5 == 0)
				{
					//this.listBox2.Items.Add("buzz");		
					System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString() + " is divisable by 3");
				}
				else
				{
					//this.listBox4.Items.Add(counter.ToString());
							
					System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString());
				}
				
			}

wait i think i got it....thanks. ill be back if i find something not right

[nmadd]

code:

for (int counter = 1; counter <= 100; counter++)
			{
				multiple3 = counter % 2;
				multiple5 = counter % 3;

				if (multiple3 == 0 && multiple5 == 0)
				{
					//this.listBox1.Items.Add("fizz");					
					System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString() + " is divisable by 2 and 3");
				}
				else if (multiple3 == 0)
				{
					//this.listBox3.Items.Add("fizzbuzz");		
					System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString() + " is divisable by 2");
				}
				else if (multiple5 == 0)
				{
					//this.listBox2.Items.Add("buzz");		
					System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString() + " is divisable by 3");
				}
				else
				{
					//this.listBox4.Items.Add(counter.ToString());
							
					System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(counter.ToString());
				}
				
			}

You have variables called "multiple3" and "multiple5" but are checking against the numbers 2 and 3 above. You want to check 3 and 5 right?
