Solved Problems with if statement and the Modulo (%) Operator

In my plugin, I have a kill counter, and I want to make it so if your kills amounts to a multiply by 25, then broadcast it.
What I have so far doesn't seem to work:

Code:JAVA

 
// If the player's kills amounts to a multiple of 25, broadcast it
if (kills % 25 == 0) {
    GeneralMethods.sendMessageToAllPlayers(
        ChatColor.BLUE + killer + " has killed a total of " + kills + " zombies!", plugin);
}
 

Though, this isn't working and I don't know why.
I know that this "if statement" gets executed and that the sendMessageToAllPlayers method works.

I'm quite sure that "(kills%25 == 0)" is the problem.
Anybody knows where I can read more about that specific topic?

Help would be appreciated

EDIT;
When I say it's "not working", I mean nothing happens, just like it would always return false. No errors or anything.

 

For what do you need this % ??

 

Did you try to print out kills as wee as kills % 25 for debugging?

V10lator: I know that

 

LukeSFT So what's your question then? He needs the % to get the modulo of kills to check if it's 0 to see if the number is a multiply of 25 (which is exactly what he told in the first post).

 

I don't know it myself.

sorry

 

Yes, they way he set up the code, it checks if it divides evenly with 25

 

Changed it from 25 to 20 and now it seems to work :S
Think I read somewhere that the number has to be even or something~

 

GeekyMe97 I don't think the numbers have to be even and it would still be good to see what kills % 25 shows when kills is a multiply of 25. So why don't you debug?

 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it can be odd. And even if it has to be even, you could check if kills*2 % 50 == 0.

 

Try putting each part in parentheses, seems to help me when my modulo doesn't want to work:

Code:

if (((kills % 25) == 0)) {
