Modern C++: Efficient and Scalable Application Development

By: Richard Grimes, Marius Bancila

Overview of this book

C++ is one of the most widely used programming languages. It is fast, flexible, and used to solve many programming problems. This Learning Path gives you an in-depth and hands-on experience of working with C++, using the latest recipes and understanding most recent developments. You will explore C++ programming constructs by learning about language structures, functions, and classes, which will help you identify the execution flow through code. You will also understand the importance of the C++ standard library as well as memory allocation for writing better and faster programs. Modern C++: Efficient and Scalable Application Development deals with the challenges faced with advanced C++ programming. You will work through advanced topics such as multithreading, networking, concurrency, lambda expressions, and many more recipes. By the end of this Learning Path, you will have all the skills to become a master C++ programmer. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Beginning C++ Programming by Richard Grimes • Modern C++ Programming Cookbook by Marius Bancila • The Modern C++ Challenge by Marius Bancila

Solutions


Here are the solutions for the above problem-solving sections.

1. Sum of naturals divisible by 3 and 5

The solution to this problem is to iterate through all numbers from 3 (1 and 2 are not divisible by 3 so it does not make sense to test them) up to the limit entered by the user. Use the modulo operation to check that the rest of the division of a number by 3 and 5 is 0. However, the trick to being able to sum up to a larger limit is to use long long and not int or long for the sum, which would result in an overflow before summing up to 100,000:

int main()
{
   unsigned int limit = 0;
   std::cout << "Upper limit:";
   std::cin >> limit;

   unsigned long long sum = 0;
   for (unsigned int i = 3; i < limit; ++i)
   {
     if (i % 3 == 0 || i % 5 == 0)
        sum += i;
   }

   std::cout << "sum=" << sum << std::endl;
}

2. Greatest common divisor

The greatest common divisor (gcd in short) of two or more non-zero integers, also known as the greatest...
