Mod funtion in c#?

thats what I thought but it didn't seem to do anything, is this syntax correct?

if((n mode 3) == 0)
   //do this
else
  //do that

sometimes I ask first and look into later so maybe its obvious and I'm too all over the place, million things going on at once...

thanks!

oops, I accidentally put mod in the above, I meant:

if((n % 3) == 0)
  // do this
else
  //do that

//this should work
   if(n%3==0)
        {
            //do this
        }
        else
        {
            //do that          
        }

Why would   if(n%3==0) work better than if((n % 3) == 0)?

I get this result from a command window in visual studio
>? (4%2==0)
true
>? ((4%2)==0)
true

Both are the same, Do you rememeber the BODMAS rule-  bracketed sub expressions first, then multiplication and division left to right and then addition and subtraction left to right.
Thats the difference between your code and mine

yes, but I meant this:

Comment from animated405

if((n % 3) == 0)
  // do this
else
  //do that

Comment from sajuks

//this should work
   if(n%3==0)
        {
            //do this
        }
        else
        {
            //do that          
        }

there is no difference, if you put brackets, the % gets executed first and then compared to 0, if you don't put brackets, the leftmost thus % gets executed first and then compared to 0.

I'm not solving any problem here but I was just pointing out that it should work with the brackets too

// i don't like thie first one below. i always add {} to my code blocks even if it's only one line and i can get away without them. it's also easier if you have to go back and add a second or third line within the block.

// also, explicitly adding the parenthesis is nonsense. it makes the code unreadable. the modulus will be evaluated prior to comparing it to zero. it's uneccessary. it's the same as:
// if (((3*4) + (5 + (6*4))) < 2)
// i over exaggerated for effect, but you see what i mean. if you have such a complex statement that you need a ton of grouping, it's time to re-evaluate the statement and use a more variables.

if((n % 3) == 0)
  // do this
else
  //do that

// this is what i prefer
// it's clean and simple

        if (n % 3 == 0)
        {
            //do this
        }
        else
        {
            //do that          
        }

I'm not debating that it was cleaner or not, I was simply questioning why it would work better

but it wouldn't work better

% takes precedence over == regardless of whether it is on the left or the right
