C :: Function That Computes Factorial Result Of Certain Number

Aug 28, 2013

I just want to practice in the language so i wrote this simple function that computes the factorial result of a certain number. The problem is that for all numbers > 20, the results are wrong ( < 20 all good).

I already learned that normal "long" type in c is more like 32 bit int and not 64 bit like a long type in java. so I used here a "long long" type.

why am I getting strange results above the number 20? isn't 64 bit enough to hold those numbers?

Code:
long long factorial(int n);
int main() {
long long result = factorial(20);
printf("%lld",result);

[code] ...

for 21 i get: -4249290049419214848

where the right result shoud be: 51,090,942,171,709,440,000

C++ :: Writing Program That Computes Factorial Of Number And Displays It?

Oct 24, 2014

write a program that computes the factorial of a number and displays it. A factorial of a number (written N!) is defined as N * (N-1) * (N-2) * (N-3) ... *1 In other words, 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 and 3! = 3 * 2 * 1 + 6.

Example of output 15 is 1.30767e+012

Can't get it to display error when user enters a number lower than 2 or higher 60.

// Program to calculate factorial of a number
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

C++ :: Function That Computes Result Of Formula For Two Sets Of Inputs

Nov 14, 2013

I'm currently writing a program and a portion of it needs to have a function that computes the result of a formula for two sets of inputs. It then has to calculate and display the difference between the two results.

I have code that takes the input from the user and converts it to the type that I need. In this case we are talking about latitudes and longitudes that will be converted to degrees, then to xyz coordinates.

C++ :: Can't Output Decimal Number From A Function Result

Mar 28, 2013

I have this simple code here:

Code:
#include <iostream>
int multiply (double x, double y) {
double result = x*y;
return (result);

[Code] ....

I get the answer 5.94 (which is what I'm looking for). I can't work out why the first example is not outputting a decimal number. I have set the variables as a double so I just can't see why this is not working for me.

It is given an integer "p". I have to find a number "n" for which "n factorial" has "p" numbers of zero at the end. Here is the solution i thought, but i am not sure if it is a solution for this problem. Do i have to make a function to calculate the factorial and another function to get the zeros?

int p;
int count5=0;
int i;
int copy_i;

C++ :: Input From User A Positive Number N And Find Its Factorial

Oct 8, 2014

Write a C++ program that will input from the user a positive number n and find its factorial. Don’t forget to validate the input. The factorial of a positive integer n (denoted by n!) is defines as the product of the integers from 1 to n.

n! = 1* 2 * 3 * ... * (n - 1) * n

You should allow the user to continue working with your program for additional data sets.

Sample output:

Please enter a number: 5
5! = 120
Would you like to continue (Y/N)?Y
Please enter a number: 3
3! = 6

Would you like to continue (Y/N)?N
Good Bye!!

My code for what i think I'm doing is as follows:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
int i=1;
int n;

C :: Variable Won't Change When Calculating Factorial In Euler Number Homework

Sep 27, 2014

I started to learn programming through this site two weeks or so ago. I've got a book with exercices and so on, and one of them involves calculating e within a tolerance given by the user.

The formula for calculating e is the summation of 1+(1/i!), where i -> n.

So, here's the code and I'll explain the problem below:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
float error;
float terme;
float sumatori = 0;
int cicle_euler = 1;
int factorial;

[Code]...

For some reason, when I set factorial to cicle_factorial, factorial remains 0, which I find puzzling; the program always halts when 1 + sumatori is 2.0 no matter what error is.

This must be a common problem and I suspect it has to do with some distinction between variables inside a loop and variables outside it, but as I lack technical vocabulary I can't seem to find anything on Google.

C++ :: Calculate The Factorial With Function?

Jan 3, 2013

calculate the factorial with function

The program should then calculate the factorial of the number n, where n!= n×(n −1)...× 2×1

the output like this:

Enter number: 4
Factorial of 4! = 24
Enter number: 6
Factorial of 6! = 720
Enter number: 3
Factorial of 3! = 6
Enter number: 0
Factorial of 0! = 1
Enter number: -5
Factorial of -5! = -1
Press any key to continue . ....

C++ :: Identifying Error In Factorial Function

Apr 8, 2014

double expression(int n, double x) {
double num=(pow((x),2*a));
double den=fact(n,a);
double sum=0;
for(int a=0; a>=0; a++)
sum=pow(x,n)*(num/den);
return sum;
}

I don't know why this isn't working. fact is a factorial function which I have tested and it works fine. But when I input, for example:

int main() {
cout<<expression(1,3)<<endl;
getch();
return 0;
}

it comes up with an error.

C :: Calculate Number Of Bits In Type - Incorrect Result In Program

Feb 15, 2014

I have this simple program below:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>
unsigned int rightrot(unsigned int x, unsigned int n) {

/* calculate number of bits in type */

size_t s = sizeof(x) * CHAR_BIT;

[Code] ....

The result it prints is 2684356604 on my 32-bit computer. The result I expect is as follows:
0xFF94 is 0000000000000000 1111111110010100 in binary.

Shift it right by 5:
0000000000000000 0000011111111100

Then take that result in shift it right by 27 (s is 32 and p is 5, so the difference is 27):
1111111110000000 0000000000000000

Now we use bitwise or:
0000000000000000 0000011111111100 | 1111111110000000 0000000000000000 = 1111111110000000 0000011111111100

That in decimal is 4286580732. So how does it come up with 2684356604?

C++ :: Print Out Result Of One Number Being Added By Two Numbers 999999 Times

Feb 17, 2013

How would I by any means print out the result of one number being added by two numbers 999999 times, the numbers both happen to be about 16500 digits long. It must display ALL digits in the number (all the digits the result ends up being). I know I can't use normal data-types, so what do I do?

Looks kinda like this:

for (int i = 0; i < 999999; ++i)
{
total += a;
total += b;
}

a and b being 2 different numbers with about 16500 digits.

C++ :: Function Should Not Display Anything But Resulting String Is Returned As A Result

Mar 2, 2014

c++.....in my program i have 3 string-s (string houses,string ink,string buildings)and i must add function substr()... In the program i need to add a function that receives a parameter of type string. The task function is that the resulting string is inserted characters '=' to split a string of characters into subsets 5 letters long. If you come to the end and no more letters after the equal sign is not added. The function should not display anything but the resulting string is returned as a result. Example:

A function recive: "housesinkbuildings" .The function returns: "house=sinkb=uildi=ngs" in The main program Add call of this function so that it is specified as a parameter string consists houses,ik, buildings.

C :: Program That Reads Alphanumeric Characters And Computes Average ASCII Value

Feb 16, 2015

Write a program that reads alphanumeric characters from the keyboard, and computes the average ascii value of the alpha numeric characters, the average alphabetical character, the average numeric character and the average uppercase character. Outputting each, you program should terminate reading once it read a non-alphanumeric character.

Here's what i have so far.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main(void) {
int value = 'a';
int digit_loop = 0;
int alpha_loop = 0;
int upper_loop = 0;

C :: Factorial Using Prime Numbers?

Feb 3, 2014

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int find_next_prime(int num);
int is_prime(int num);
int main()

[Code]......

How would I go about counting the number of times a factorial has a specific prime number?

For example, 5! = (2^3)*(3^1)*(5^1), 6! = (2^4)*(3^2)*(5^1).

How would I begin to design my find_prime_count function in order to count how many times each occurs? My program is to read in a number between (2<=N<=100) from a text file and output the results exactly like above which I still have to figure out after, I'll assume I have to use fscanf.

C :: Working Out Factorial Using Arrays

Nov 26, 2013

The code works and comes out with a correct factorial up to 69! (But this is fine I only need it to work up to 60). I was wondering if this could be simplified or optimized in any way.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
int number[100]; /*Created array of size 100 */
int n=34; /*19931120 summed to make 34 */
int i;

C++ :: For Loop Multiplication - X Factorial

Oct 18, 2013

int main() {
int x;
int y=1;
for(x=1 ; x<=12 ; x++ , y=y*x ) {
cout<<y<<'
';
}
}

This code give x! ( x factorial).

whenever ,in x<=12 , we change the 12 to any number n where n>=1 and n<=12

the code works and give the (x factorial)

for example 12!=479001600

the problem begins with the number 13.

when we put 13 like this x<=13 or for(x=1 ; x<=13 ; x++ , y=y*x )

the compiler gives a wrong result : it gives 1932053504 which is wrong because the true result is 6227020800
