If you can, you should turn the warning level up because this mistake is caught automatically when it is set high enough. I use Visual Studio and always have the warning level at 4 and warnings are errors and it always catches this error.

You are assigning in If block instead of checking the equality. Correct If condition
if(num==0)
{
    cout<<"rem is zero";
}

Cheers.
You are not testing num for 0 correctly.

You should do

if(num == 0)

not

if (num=0)

In your code you are assigning 0 to num because you are using a single equals sign which will be successful which the if statement evaluates to true therefore always printing rem is zero.

A safer way to write it is

if (0 == num)

because if you miss one of the equals signs the compiler will complain you are trying to assign a value to a literal.
