Need help with c++ countdown code

I’m currently working on the module “countdown” and am having trouble with the code. The problem asks that you create a counter that takes a users input and counts it down, beeping after multiples of 5. The code I have seems to do what is asked but some of the test cases say it doesn’t. I don’t want the answer to the module I just want to know what is wrong with the code so I can avoid the mistake in the future. Here is the code. https://code.sololearn.com/cZe0n8K3nrL9/?ref=app

Mason Your code is right but there is Beep not beep. Check spelling. To avoid mistakes in future read problem carefully.

the question actually says to replace the multiple of 5 with the beep string In your code, you're just trying the print whole countdown first then you're checking to print out beep in the multiple of 5 on line 11. usually, the compiler excutes the code from 1 - n lines. the fix is to make an else statement and put the line 10 into the else statement. (don't try to put n-- variable into the if and else statement. otherwise it will result in infinite loop!) also, finally someone says not to post answers without explanation!

This worked for me #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int n; cin >> n; //your code goes here while(n > 0){ cout<< n << endl; if(n % 5 == 0){ cout << "Beep" << endl; } n--; } return 0; }
