smell like homework, what have you tried so far, where you stuck?

We do not do your homework: it is set for a reason. It is there so that you think about what you have been told, and try to understand it. It is also there so that your tutor can identify areas where you are weak, and focus more attention on remedial action.

Try it yourself, you may find it is not as difficult as you think!

Let's be honest here: that isn't "tried" - that's thrown together without thinking, and you are working on the "hope and pray" coding methodology...

Stop, sit down, read your course notes, and think about what you need to do.
The question itself is almost exactly the answer!

Solution 2

The solution is:

PHP

$var=rand($min,$max);
if($var%3 == 0){
echo "number is divisible by 3";
}
else{
echo "number is not divisible by 3 and remainder is: ".($var%3);
}
