While Loop that Outputs Lowest Integer Divisible by 5 and 7 in decrement.

[Lumieres]

Hi, I'm trying to make a code that gives me ONLY the lowest integer divisible by 5 and 7 (which should be 35) in decrement. I've been trying it for hours and I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Below is what I have written so far. Can anyone please help me review this and see what I'm doing wrong?


public class FiveAndSeven {

public static void main(String[] args) {
int i = 201;
int smallestNum = Integer.MAX_VALUE;

while (i > 1) {
i--;
if (i % 5 == 0 && i % 7 == 0 && i < smallestNum) {
smallestNum = i;

System.out.println(i);
}


}

}
}

I wanted to move the category and wanted to delete this post but not sure how, sorry for duplicate :(

You are printing out ALL integers, because you put your print-statement into the while-loop. If you put it outside the loop, just after the closing bracket of the while-loop, then you will see only the smallest (last) result.

By the way, you can delete the "&& i < smallestNum" from your if-statement, because this is always true. (You are decrementing the variable i with each iteration in the while-loop, so how could it be possible that i will be bigger than before?
