OK, i have another question.

This a program i wrote for a simple excercise, given in Ivor Horton's 
Beginning C++.
Its supposed to output numbers from 1 to 30, except for those which are 
divisible by 3 or 5, using either a for, while, or do-while loop.
This seems as if it should work fine, but the program outputs all numbers from 
one to 30, not excluding those it should.

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

int main()
{
 int count = 0;

 for(int number = 0 ; count <= 30 ; number++)
   {
    count++;

    if(number / 3 == 0 || number / 5 == 0)      //i suspect the problem is 
here
      continue;
    else
      cout << number
           << endl;
   }

 return 0;
}

I've tried removing the continue, and putting an '!' in front of the 
statements inside the 'if', then making it so 'cout << number' only executes 
when it is false, and that produced the same results! what is going on here?
