How to print every third character of a string? java

blackdiamondx :

I am trying to print every 3rd character of a string so an example would be: 123456 returns 36

But my code below returns 14

public String getEveryThird() {
    String newString = "";

    for (int i = 0; i < string.length(); i++) {

        if (i % 3 == 0) {
            newString += (string.charAt(i));
        }
    }

    return newString;
}

Good try. The only problem is you choose the wrong remainder of the division since elements start from 0.

Try this condition:

if (i % 3 == 2)
