Question

I have a for loop in which I placed several if statements. The objective of these conditionals is to check divisibility of a number and then output a string if the number is divisible by 3. If the number is divisible by 5, another string will be outputted. However, if the number is divisible by both 3 and 5, an entirely different string will be outputted in its place instead of the other strings.

Here is my code:

for (i = 1; i <= file_int; i++){
     if (i % 3 == 0) {
        printf("Hoppity \n");
    }
    if (i % 5 == 0) {
        printf("Hophop \n");
    }
    if (i % 5 == 0 && i % 3 == 0) {
        printf("Hop \n");
    }   
}

As you can see, the last conditional doesn’t quite work. What type of control construct should I use? else?

Thanks alot.

for (i = 1; i <= file_int; i++){
    if (i % 5 == 0 && i % 3 == 0) {
        printf("Five and three\n");
    } else if (i % 3 == 0) {
        printf("Three\n");
    } else if (i % 5 == 0) {
        printf("Five\n");
    } else {
        printf("None of the conditions passed\n");
    }
}
