how to slove

InputStreamReader sReader = new InputStreamReader(System.in); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(sReader); float t = Float.parseFloat(br.readLine()); if (t%5.0 >= 0 && t%5 < 3.0) System.out.println("green"); else if(t%5.0 >= 3.0 && t%5 < 4.0) System.out.println("yellow"); else{ System.out.println("red"); }

BufferedReader x = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); String s = x.readLine(); double t = Double.parseDouble(s); if (t % 5 < 3) { System.out.println("green"); }else if ( t % 5 < 4) { System.out.println("yellow"); }else { System.out.println("red"); } } }

I'm not going to make a reference to this exercise pricesely, but it would help you see things more clear, if you would put some space, between your equations, variables, and everything. Seriously it helps a lot. :)

You guys are over thinking this problem, it is a very simple solve: #1 mod the number 't' by 5, we will call this 'result' #2 if result is less than 3, output "green" #3 else if the 'result' is less than 4, output "yellow" #4 anything else output "red" solved

Like Jesús de Llera I wrote out this chart and looked over it for a while. I have the added convince of starting this lab before going to work and having time to think about it before coding while I was working. G Y R 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 ... 55 56 57 58 59 What I got was a pattern with yellow and red to make it simple to divide by 5. +2 on yellow makes it divisible by 5 and +1 on red makes it divisible by 5. Then my else statement was green instead of red because green has more variations I didn't want to worry about. if((num + 2) % 5 < 1){ System.out.println("yellow"); }else if((num + 1) % 5 < 1){ System.out.println("red"); }else{ System.out.println("green");

pls help im not getting correct answer.

I did the next actions: 1.from the initial minutes I subtract the less number and nearest multiple of five, for example: 48.66 => 3.66 or 59.75 => 4.75 and etc. 4.78 => 4.78 (substract 0) 2. check the conditions for each color remainder >= 0.0 and remainder <3.0 then GREEN remainder >=3.0 and remainder < 4.0 then YELLOW remainder >=4.0 and remainder < 5.0 then RED

I'm not sure what is the logic behind your if statements. Viewing what "colour" every number was helped me: G Y R 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 ... 55 56 57 58 59 In my case what I did to pass the excercise was to try to get the decimal part from the number after you divide it by 5. So for instance 8/5 equals 1.6. So I extracted the decimal part: 0.6. This way I can reduce every input to be compared to a decimal number from 0 to 1 and With this in mind, in my if statements I check: -if resultant value is < 0.59 then is "green" -else if resultant value is < 0.69 then is "yellow" -else is "red"
