    code help!

    can someone please help with describing what the output of this program would be?^

    Code:
    main()
    	{
    		for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
    		         if (i%2 == 0) cout << i +1 << “\t”;
    		          else if (i%3) == 0) cout << i * i  << “\t”;
    		          else if (i%5 == 0) cout << 2*i – 1 << “\t”;
    		          else cout << i << “\t”;
    	}

    Surely you have a problem if the number divides by 3 and 2 like 6

    if int i/2 gives no remainder then it will output i+1
    else if i/3 gives no remainder then the output will be i^2
    else if i/5 gives no remainder the output will be 2*i - 1
    otherwise the output will be i

    well, if you #include <iostream>, use namespace std, and put an int before main, you get... nothing.
    Code:
    jshao@MCP ~/Programming/C++/test $ g++ test.cpp -Wall -W -ansi -pedantic -o test.exe && ./test.exe
    test.cpp: In function `int main()':
    test.cpp:9: error: syntax error before `==' token
    test.cpp:10: error: syntax error before `else'
    that for loop is constructed wrong, and your parenthesis are messed up.

    after fixing the loop and parenthesis and making it more readable, and adding comments, it becomes more clear:
    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    	for (int i=0;i<8;i++)
    	{
    		if (i%2==0)		//if the remainder of i/2 is zero
    		{
    			cout<<i+1<<'\t';	//output i+1 and a tab
    		}
    		else if (i%3 == 0)	//if the remainder of i/3 is zero
    		{
    			cout<<i*i<<'\t';	//output i*i and a tab
    		}
    		else if (i%5 == 0)	//if the remainder of i/5  is zero
    		{
    			cout<<2*i-1<<'\t';	//output (2*i)-1 and a tab
    		}
    		else			//otherwise
    		{
    			cout<<i<<'\t';		//just output i
    		}
    	}
    }
    and now when you compile and run that, you get:
    Code:
    jshao@MCP ~/Programming/C++/test $ g++ test.cpp -Wall -W -ansi -pedantic -o test.exe && ./test.exe
    1       1       3       9       5       9       7       7
    basically, if i is an even number (in this case, 2,4,6,8), it'll add one to i, and if it's a multiple of three (in this case, only when i is 3), it'll square the nubmer, and when it's a multiple of 5 (in this case only when it's 5), it'll multiply i by 2 and subtract 1. That leaves you with 1 and 7, which just gets printed for what it is.
