Ternary and Modulus Operator Confusion

[Inquisitor01]

I've been playing around with the code below in order to try to accurately predict its output, but what I'm receiving is the total opposite of what I'd expect so I must be interpreting it incorrectly.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int player = 1;

int main()
{
	do 
	{
		cout << player << endl;
		player++;
		player = (player % 2) ? 7 : 4;
		cin.get();

	} 
	while 
	(
	player < 9
	);
	
	return 0;
};

The output I expect is:
1
7
4
7
4
7
...



Instead I receive:
1
4
7
4
7
4
...



In line 13 I'm using the ternary operator and I'm using the value "7" for when the condition is true and "4" for when it is false. I find it weird that I receive the output in this order because it is the equivalent of if I said:

		cout << player << endl;
		player++;
		player = (player % 2 == 1) ? 7 : 4;
		cin.get();

Notice:
(player % 2 == 1)



Does that mean that simply declaring "player %2" is the equivalent of "player %2 == 1" as opposed to "player %2 == 0"?

Thanks in advance for the help.

In C and C++ value of 0 is threated as false, and any other integral number as true.

So player % 2 in condition is threated as player %2 != 0

Wow! I never would have guessed that.

I wish the books I've been reading had mentioned that and I'm going to do a bit of experimenting with it.

Thanks so much MiiNiPaa!
