homework help

[slitherin96]

hey guys I kinda missed a lecture and wasn't able to quite understand it, but I have to make a program in c# that checks if the third digit in a number (right to left) is 5.
I wanted to go a bit above the original assignment and added a ReadLine to enter the number. my real problem is that I apparently can't do && to int/byte values.
here's what I have so far, please tell me where im going wrong
 

using System;

namespace ConsoleApp2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("please enter a number");
            int num = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
            num = (byte)(num >> 2);
            byte check = 5;
            bool result = (byte)(check && num);
            Console.WriteLine(result);
        }
    }
}

No. They’re helping your problem solving skills.

thing is the lecture was only about bitwise operations and they wanted the result as a boolean statement

Well that’s what I figured. With programming there’s many different solutions to any problem. I wouldn’t have gone your route at all. I would give you my solution but I can’t do your homework for you. 

If I understand it properly, (potential answer. Don’t open till after you solve it for yourself) 

Spoiler

 

Basically I’d make an array and then do if array size minus 3 is five return true. 

Which after reviewing the question would mean I’d have to put the number into an array.

Or convert to string and use string operations would be my way, regardless practically of the language. Something like:
 

If (_input.ToString().IndexOf("5") == 2)

{

     //do whatever you need here

}
