Please what is wrong with this code. It is as if the if condition is not read but only the else statement.

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int siblings, popsicles; //take input cin>>siblings>>popsicles; //your code goes here if (popsicles/siblings == 1){ cout <<"give away" << endl; if (popsicles/siblings == 2){ cout <<"give away" << endl; if (popsicles/siblings == 3){ cout << "give away" << endl; } } } else { cout << "eat them yourself" << endl; } return 0; }

Your code outputs "give away" If both inputs same. Otherwise by else part. What your inner if conditions do? Nothing. It's always false condition. When popsicles/siblings == 1 then how it will be next equal to 2, or 3? Among 3 siblings, 9 popsicles are evenly distributable. Think. But 3 siblings, 10 popsicles not evenly distributable.. Task is to find how this? use modula operator.
