hello every one im trying to write a c++ program where it can check if a number is divisible by 5 and 10. if so it needs to print out number is divisible by 10; same case if it is not divisible by it. Here is part of what i have so far but it is still fruit less.

#include <iostream>



using namespace std;



int divisibleBy  (int x) {

if (x == 1) {

cout << x << "is divisible by five!" << endl;

} else {

divisibleBy  (x-5/5);

    if (x!=1){

cout<<"x is not diviible by 5"<< endl;

}



if (x==1){

cout <<"x is divisible by 10"<< endl;

}

 else if (x!=1){

cout<<"x is not divisible by 10" << endl;

}

return 0;

}

}





int main()

{

    int x;

    cout << "Please enter a number: " << endl;

    cin >> x;

    divisibleBy(x);

    return 0;

}

Hey there willmon2000,

I don't seem to understand your logic behind your "divisibleBy" function where you are comparing your "x" variable to "1" and your "x-5/5". I think what you are trying to do there is look for a remainder of a certain number when divided by another number. The best way to achieve this is by using the modulus operator to return back a remainder rather than just dividing the number. I have also neatened up your function and made it a void function since you don't seem to be returning anything of importance, here is the revised code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void divisibleBy(int x);

int main()
{
    int x;
    cout << "Please enter a number:" << endl;
    cin >> x;
    divisibleBy(x);
    return 0;
}

void divisibleBy(int x)
{
    if (x % 5 > 0)
        cout << x << " is not divisible by five!" << endl;
    else
        cout << x << " is divisible by five!" << endl;

    if (x % 10 > 0)
        cout << x << " is not divisible by ten!" << endl;
    else
        cout << x << " is divisible by ten!" << endl;
}

Please let me know if this was what you were looking for and if there is anything else you need

Peace Out
