Question

how might I find out, in an if statement, weather the specified int is a multiple of 5? This is what I mean:

if(X [is a multiple of] 5)
{
    Console.Writeline("Yes");
}

What would be [is a multiple of]?

Also, why is it that when I do:

if(X = 5)
{
    Console.Writeline("sdjfdslf");
}

it shows “X = 5” in red and tells me “Can not implicitly convert type “int” to “bool”? I am using X as an input.

You want to use the modulo operation (%).

if (X % 5 == 0) {
    Console.Writeline("Yes");
}

it shows “X = 5” in red and tells me “Can not implicitly convert type “int” to “bool”? I am using X as an input.

The single equals = is assignment. You want the double equals == to do a check for equality.
