I am unable to this question in C language

You have a box of popsicles and you want to give them all away to a group of brothers and sisters. If you have enough left in the box to give them each an even amount you should go for it! If not, they will fight over them, and you should eat them yourself later. Task Given the number of siblings that you are giving popsicles to, determine if you can give them each an even amount or if you shouldn't mention the popsicles at all. Input Format Two integer values, the first one represents the number of siblings, and the second one represents the number of popsicles that you have left in the box. Output Format A string that says 'give away' if you are giving them away, or 'eat them yourself' if you will be eating them yourself. Sample Input 3 9

Vishal so your code is very interesting. it works sometimes and not others, depending on the hidden inputs. what you need to do is change your condition if (popsicles/2 == siblings && siblings *2 == popsicles) what you need to do is divide the number of popsicles by the number of siblings. make sure you use this % instead of / that will return the remainder. if(popsicles % simblings == 0)

The question doesn't want you to give the popsicles away only when you can distribute exactly 2 to each of the siblings. According to the question statement, string "give away" should be displayed when you can give all the popsicles to siblings such that each one of them get equal number of popsicles with them. For example : for a case like 5 5 Your current program fails to give correct output.

#include <stdio.h> int main() { int siblings, popsicles; scanf("%d\n", &siblings); scanf("%d\n", &popsicles); //your code goes here if (popsicles/2 == siblings && siblings *2 == popsicles) { printf ("give away"); } else { printf ("eat them yourself"); } return 0; }
