'divisible by' help: how do you write 'a number is divisible by 6'?

[screeen]

Hi. I have a timer going, that i want to reactivate every time the score is divisible by 6.

so, i wrote

public var number:uint;

if(score==number/6)

{

     number = 6;

     timer.start();

}

but that is wrong.

Can anyone help me write the notion of a number being divisible by 6.

thanks:)

You can use the modulus operator, which produces the remainder after dividing by a number...

    if(number%6 == 0){

that being true says the number is divisible by 6

I don't know what your variables mean but you can see if a number is evenly divisible by another number using mod:

if(score % 6 == 0){
