Required Variable, Found Value

Question

Why would I be getting an unexpected type error in this piece of code?

for(int a = 1; a <= 10; a++){
if( a % 3 = 0 ){
example.add(a);
} else if ( a % 5 = 0 ){
example.add(a);
}
}

The errors are found in the if statements, both of them.

Answer 1

You had to use == and not = in the ifs

Answer 2

haha. whoops! thx
sometimes it's the simplest things

Answer 3

the goal was to only add multiples of 3 and 5 to a linkedlist. Thank you for the feedback

Answer 4

You might need a 'else'-statement to handle "if anything else".
(But I think you didn't include it so it would run either way, I'm not quite sure.)

Also, the Top-most 'if'-statement needs a 'else'-statement to close off any errors (as said above).

I'm not sure on the topic myself, but I know that many languages share some of the concepts with Java - meaning syntax will most likely remain unchanged.
Example: JavaScript, etc.

I hope this helps... :)
