Writing a Program to Divide Numbers - Help Needed

AI Thread Summary
A program is being developed to input a number and divide it by a list of numbers, returning the integer results with remainders. The programmer is using C++ and has successfully created a basic version but faces two main challenges: resetting the program with a button press instead of restarting it and handling integer values beyond 250,000, which currently result in garbled data. Recommendations include consulting a C++ manual to understand the language better and focusing on specific functions needed for the project, as this will facilitate a quicker resolution to the issues encountered.

Hello.

I would like to write a program into which I can input any number, say 11133, and divide this by a list of numbers, say 543, 345, 2368...
and have the program print the list of results, integers only, with the remainder.

I imagine this is a fairly simple program to write, but I am still unfamiliar as yet with what steps to take to begin. Would anyone be able to help. Thanks in advance.

Hi Warren,

Thanks,
I have started using a '94 version of C++,
are you familiar with this?
I managed to get a useful program working.

Two problems though that I have not been able to find solutions to yet.

1) How do i get it so the program resets at the press of a button so I don't have to keep exiting and entering again?

2) Even though I am using "long" integers throughout, the program will not print values better than about 250 000. beyond this I just get garbled data.

Thanks,
Dan
 
carterw,

If C++ is your language of choice and you don't have a manual explaining the coding requirements, then I would recommend that you do that first. You don't have to read the book from cover to cover, but, understand the overall methodology of the language and focus on the sections that address the specific functions you need. Anytime spent learning a language such as an all purpose tool like C++, is time well spent.

You are right. Once you review the manual, this job should take only a few minutes to complete.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
