    basic question need help!


    Ok, so I need to know how to figure out a certain number using a very simple
    while loop. All we know is that when a person carries 2 objects at a time,
    there is 1 leftover (also known as number % 2 = 1) ... the same goes for
    when the person carries 3,4,5, or 6 at a time. If they carry them 7 at a
    time then there are none leftover (number % 7 = 0). All I've been told is
    that the number is over 300 and to use a while loop and very basic commands.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Try this,

    public class DoIt {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Do your own homework!");
    }
    }

    Remember everyone, let's keep the gloves on! Also, especially if you are
    going to take issue to a post, please have the courage to include a
    legitimate email address at which you can be contacted (127.0.0.1 won't work
    for a domain name). j.d. asked a legitimate question. j.d., if you still
    need help, let the group know.

    Thanks!

    I have figured out the problem. I know not everyone on here is like that,
    but it was still a bit upsetting to someone just trying to learn.

    Thanks,

    J.D.
