Ok would someone look at this code and please tell me what I need to do to make the program run correctly? It is supposed to give the user a message if they enter any money below 25 cents or over 100. And it's not doing what it's supposed to. Plus, I have no idea how to code the part about only taking multiples of five. I know there are some smart, smart java guys out there that can help me. I'd appreciate anything you can tell me.

As far as being a mutiple of 5 try the following.

if (money % 5 == 0) \\ Then is it is a Mutiple of 5.


The % only returns the remainder of divison so if it is zero it is a mutiple otherwise it is not.

To test for multiples of 5, you could try something like:

You can use this approach (with the modulo or remainder operator or whatever you want to call it) to test for multiples, odd or even numbers, etc.

Hope this helps,
