C# Check If Minutes equal some denomination of 5
I need to check if my integer variable minutes equals some denomination of 5. I went looking for some sort function that does this. But from what I could find there isn't any. Will I need to create my own? I have some pseudocode as to how I think it might look like. public int minutes;
     void Update () {
         minutes = (int)Time.time / 60;
         if( minutes == a denomination of 5){
             Debug.Log("minutes currently equals" + a denomination of 5)
         }    
     }

So you want it to show "minutes currently equals 5/10/15/20/25..." ? Then you can use the modulo operator: % .
     if( minutes%5 == 0){
                  Debug.Log("minutes currently equals" +  minutes); 
 }

Use the mod operator %.

 if ((minutes % 5) == 0)
 {
     Debug.Log("minutes currently equals" + a denomination of 5)
 }

i think what you are looking or % operator so
  if( minutes % 5 == 0 ) {
        // every  five minutes do this   
         Debug.Log("minutes currently equals" + a denomination of 5)
   
 }
