Logical and Boolean operators 3 (Volunteer Teams)

Question

Hello! I have figured out test 1 and test 2 by coding

function main() {
var numberVolunteers = parseInt(readLine(), 10)
// Your code here
var x = 5 - (numberVolunteers % 5);
console.log(x);

}

But can’t for the life of me to output 0 for test 3 at the same time. Can anyone please help me with this?

Answer 1

The response about if else has not been taught to this point you should be able to do with what has been learned to this point in basic concepts

Answer 2

question asks how many more volunteers would you need if you were to distribute all the available ones equally in 5 groups ,so according to your solution even if the numberVolunteers % 5 equals to 0 means they are distributed equally you still need 5 more volunteers !

what you need to do is use an if else statement so if the output is 0 you don't do 5-remainder

Answer 3

thank you!!

Answer 4

I did an if else statement.
Works fine to me, but I think there's a better way to do it.

Answer 5

Hope this can help. It approves all the test :))

function main() {
var numberVolunteers = parseInt(readLine(), 10)
// Your code here

let remainder = (numberVolunteers %5);
if(remainder !=0){
let ans = (5 - remainder )
console.log(ans)
}else{
console.log(0)
}

}
