Boolean Expression

[Paul Wagener]

Hi folks,
Anyone having an idea of how testing for the following
condition in a loop:

if (x/5 == true)break; // this doesn't compute of course


/*
* x being a double number
*/

Thanks!

Doubles can't be compared to booleans. What do you expect?
Or to put it another way:
What do you want to do? Exactly *WHEN* do you want the loop to break?
What condition must x be in for the loop to break? What numbers should
work and what shouldn't?

If you want to test whether x is divisble by 5, you could use the modulus
operator (calculates the remainer of x/5, which'll be 0 if x is divisible by
5):

if (x%5 == 0) break;

Thanks a lot!

The mod does the job quite fine.
