Java > Logic-1 > nearTen (CodingBat Solution)

Problem:

Given a non-negative number "num", return true if num is within 2 of a multiple of 10. Note: (a % b) is the remainder of dividing a by b, so (7 % 5) is 2. See also: Introduction to Mod

nearTen(12) → true
nearTen(17) → false
nearTen(19) → true


Solution:

public boolean nearTen(int num) {
  if (num % 10 < 3 || num % 10 >=8)
    return true;
  else return false;
}

  2. Your cell phone rings. Return true if you should answer it. Normally you answer, except in the morning you only answer if it is your mom calling. In all cases, if you are asleep, you do not answer.
