MHB Odd/Even and Prime: Check 819877966 Numbers

[jasonsmith206]

Hi everyone, been a busy week and I've got midterm cal 2 on monday so i need to get this done as fast as possible so i can focus on my math.

I've got two assignments each requiring me to input 819877966 as a user number and its two parts

1.) is to break the usernumber into individual numbers and tell if they are odd or even
example:
n odd/even
-- ---------
8 even
1 odd
9 odd
. ...
. ...

the code i have for that so far is this:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{

   int num,temp,factor=1;

  printf("Enter a number: ");
  scanf("%d",&num);

  temp=num;

    while(temp){
      temp=temp/10;
      factor = factor*10;
  }
  printf("Each digits of given number are:\n");
  while(factor>1){
      factor = factor/10;
      printf("%d\n",num/factor);
      num = num % factor;
  }
  return 0;
}

I can get it to break up but i can't figure out how or where for my program to read odd/even.

2.)
the same usernumber will be used to read prime numbers so

if it was to read

819877966

it would out put certain numbers saying what its divisable
example:
81 wouldn't be a prime number and would be broke up to its facortrization until it reaches a prime number.

I hate these exerecises because we are only a month into our programming class and our teacher gives us problems like these. Idk what he's thinking but these kinds of questiosn are crazy for first time programmers so any help given will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

This is probably late, but I'll respond anyway. The code you have for part 1 makes sense and it works.

I can get it to break up but i can't figure out how or where for my program to read odd/even.

I am not sure what you mean by "read odd/even". Your program is supposed to print whether each digit is even or odd. You computed the digits; surely finding if they are even is easy.

Here is my program.

int main()
{
  unsigned int num;
  /* unsigned int takes <= 32 bits, which amounts to 10 decimal digits */
  char digits[10]; /* One byte is enough to store a decimal digit */
  int i, j;

  printf("Enter a number: ");
  scanf("%d", &num);
  /* Writing digits of num into the array digits in reverse order.
     Rightmost digit goes to the beginning of the array. */
  for (i = 0; num > 0; i++, num /= 10)
    digits[i] = num % 10;
  printf("n odd/even\n");
  printf("- --------\n");
  for (j = i - 1; j >= 0; j--)
    printf("%d %s\n", digits[j], (digits[j] % 2 == 0)? "even" : "odd");
  
  return 0;
}

2.)

if it was to read

819877966

81 wouldn't be a prime number and would be broke up to its facortrization until it reaches a prime number.

"Output certain numbers" is not specific enough. There are many numbers that can be formed from the digits of your given number. Which of them do you need to check for being prime?

you're right "output certain numbers" was exactly what he gave us for instructions. He's a teacher who likes the fact that we should learn this on our own and that we should and i quote "fumble around, flop and flip before we understand what we're doing" which i get that i understand completely but don't do something like.

Ok class today's lesson is 1+1=2. Ok now that you understand that.. for homework tonight you're to find the answer to this equation \int sin^2xcos^7xdx

Thats how i feel this class is ran but I'm just complaining now, thank you for your help on number one. Like i said before it was easy to split the numbers but couldn't find a way to use the loop to nest in another one to find odd or even.
