AI Thread Summary
To modify the program so that it does not generate output for integers that are multiples of 5, an if statement should be added within the loop that processes the range of integers. Specifically, the condition should check if the current integer 'i' is a multiple of 5 using the modulus operator (%). If 'i % 5 == 0', the program should skip the output for that integer. This adjustment ensures that no lines are printed for integers like 5, 10, 15, and 20 when the range is set from 1 to 20. The existing validation checks for the start and finish values remain unchanged, ensuring the program still operates correctly within the specified constraints.

How would I modify the program so it doesn't generate an output for integers that are multiples of 5? (e.g. if range was 1-20, then no lines would be printed for 5, 10, 15, 20.)

program squares
implicit none

integer*2 start, finish, i

! ----------------------------------------------Prompt and Input
print*, "Enter the range (two integers) ..."
read*, start, finish

! ----------------------------------------------Validation & Processing
if (start .GT. finish) then
print*, "Invalid: the start must be less than the end value!"
else if (start .LT. 0) then
print*, "Invalid: the range must not have negative values!"
else
do i = start, finish
write(*,*) i, sqrt(i*1.)
end do
end if
! ----------------------------------------------
end

You could use an if statement that checks whether i % 5 == 0. The % operator is modulus and returns the remainder after division.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
