Thread: Use a boolean to find if a number is divisible

i am making a program to see if a number is divisible by 5 and/or 6. how do i do this using a boolean? the user inputs and int and then i calculate it and tell them true and/or false. thanks

well actually it doesnt have to be boolean i realized. I have no idea how to see if a number is divisible by another, so help needed there. But as for the data type i just need one that states true if it is divisible and false if it isnt. please help. thanks

heres what i have so far... dont have the divisibility equation yet.

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Pg127 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        //Input and output= Console
 
        Scanner input= new Scanner(System.in);
 
        System.out.println("Enter an interger: ");
 
    String number=input.next();
 
    int integer = Integer.parseInt(number);
 
    if( integer 5 && integer 6){
        System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 and 6? ");
    }
    else if(integer 5 || integer 6){
        System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 or 6? ");
    }
    else if (integer  5 || integer 6 ){
        System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 and 6, but not both? ");
}
 
 
    }
 
}

also on the last one i have to make it ask if it is divisible by one or the other but not both... i know i have to add an && but how do i specify NOT

nevermind, i actually ended up figuring it out.

Heres what I ended with:

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class Pg127 {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        //Input and output= Console
 
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
 
        System.out.println("Enter an interger: ");
 
        String number = input.next();
 
        int integer = Integer.parseInt(number);
 
        if (integer % 5 == 0 && integer % 6 == 0) {
            System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 and 6? True");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 and 6? False");
        }
 
 
        if (integer % 5 == 0 || integer % 6 == 0) {
            System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 or 6? True ");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 or 6? False");
        }
 
 
        if (integer % 5 == 0 && integer % 6 == 0) {
            System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 and 6, but not both? False ");
        } else {
            System.out.println("Is " + integer + " divisible by 5 or 6, but not both? True ");
        }
 
 
    }
}

Thank you so much for responding though. I was just not using my brain earlier and made it harder than it should have been haha.

It still appears more complicated than is necessary in my opinion.

For example I see:
integer % 5 == 0
and:
integer % 6 == 0
each three times in your code. This means you are doing the same work three times.

When I think of your problem, I see a solution in my head formed in the following layout:
program starts
user enters (valid) input
determine if input % 5 == 0
determine if input % 6 == 0

combine the results into a formatted output
