Question

Here’s the code.

bool b_div(int n_dividend)
{
    for (int iii = 10 ; iii>0 ; iii--)
    {
        int n_remainder = n_dividend%iii;
        if (n_remainder != 0)
         return false;
        if (iii = 1)
         return true;

    }
}

After testing this function I made for a program, the function seems to stop at the if (n_remainder != 0) part. Now then the function SHOULD test if the number that the function takes in can be divided by all numbers from 10 to 1.(it takes in numbers until it returns true) I know the first number that this works with it is 2520 but even on this number it stops at if(n_remainder != 0). So I was hoping for some advice! Im having trouble troubleshooting it! Any links or words I should look for would be awesome! Im still pretty new to programming so any help you can give for learning would rock! Thanks!

Change your last if statement to:

if (iii == 1)
  return true;

Currently you have only a single equals sign, which sets the variable iii to 1, and is always true. By using a double equals it will compare iii and 1.
