Question

Good evening, I am having issue removing every positive multiple of five from my code. Here are the instructions :Output the numbers 1-1000, but make all numbers that are a multiple of five negative. Output a new line after each number.

Here is my code:

public class Example3 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {



       for (int counter = 1 ; counter <= 1000; counter++){
            System.out.println(counter);

            if (counter%5==0) {
                System.out.println(counter*-1);

            }
        }
    }
}

_________________________________________________________

my output is good until the i get something like this

5

-5

is there anyway to remove the positive multiples of five and keep the negatives multiples of five?

Thank you in advance.

Program:

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

for (int counter = 1 ; counter <= 1000; counter++){ // Loop runs from 1 to 1000

if (counter%5==0) { // Check the number is multiple of 5

System.out.println(counter*-1); // print the multiple of 5 in negative sign that is 5 is printed as -5 so on

}

else { // If number is not multiple of 5 then

System.out.println(counter); // print the counter

}

}

}

}

Output:
