Division in C programming. plz help

[ebneadam]

Hi guys . i was working on given below question. and i try to solve it. can any one confirm it that is this correct solution for that question? if not then can u tell me whats the right code. Fix it if its not correct and also tell me reason thx
Much appreciate that


Exercise:
Create a MikroC program to read in an 8-bit unsigned number on PORTB. If the number is even AND divisible by 3, PORTC.F0 = 1. Otherwise PORTC.F0 = 0.

Solution

void main(){
ADCON1=7; TRISB=0b11111111; TRISC=0;
while (1)
{
          else if (PORTB%3==0){PORTC.F0=1;}
          else {PORTC.F0=0;}
          }
}

Well you would only have to compile it to tell that it wasn't right.

Before an else if, you need an if.

void main() should actually be int main(void) and should return 0 on successful completion... Look at Salem's avatar above, that should give you a hint.

Since they're almost certainly on a free-standing implementation, MikroC is aimed at embedded microchip kind of systems, then main can be declared as void, if that is what the compiler docs say.

"If the number is even AND divisible by 3"

So the number must be divisible by 6.

I dont thınk ıt dıvıson by 3 ıf thus number ıs even .C wıll otomatıcly change your value and maybe there wıll be problem.

confirm it that is this correct solution

You tell us!

One of the trickiest things with embedded code is getting data in and out of the micro. Until you fully understand how to do it, it can be quite frustrating.
You need to set the ports up to be general purpose I/O, as outputs vs inputs, etc. Most of that is VERY device specific so only someone familiar with your device can comment on that part of the code.

Can you debug? Why not create some temporary variables that you can "watch".

unsigned char uchar_port_B;

uchar_port_B = PORTB;

Now when you run you can look at uchar_port_B (you probably cannot look directly at PORTB, right?)
