How to add Numbers (a program)

I wanted to write a program that can add numbers. I avoided using built in addition and for loops . I avoided less than and greater than signs. I did use however equal to signs and not equal to signs.

 

If the forum moderators can guarantee this topic won't be lost I will permit them to move it to developer's corner. I notice developer's corner topics fade away.

WARNING: Try to avoid the first 2 to 3 digits in the second number unless you're willing to wait for hours or maybe a day.

For multiplication. Multiplication of course can be even slower if you pick high enough values.

Prosper did say "avoid + sign", so you don't get a cookie, I'm afraid  :skull:

Prosper: I draw my gun before even reading your post correctly, it seems! Sorry.

 

sorophx: Yup! One include had to go then, and then cue system("PAUSE"); Thank you, or should I say, Kiitos! ;)

Would it work better with 2D arrays? I.e. adding 3 and 2 => result in array element [3][2].

logical operations are the way to go

While in practice you'd never do it this way, it's actually an interesting exercise in terms of getting practice.

 

I probably would use a switch statement as, for whatever reason, I find them more pleasing to look at than a series of if-else-if statements.

 

 

Note that a line such as the following:

else if (strNumber[SymbolToNativeIndex(chIndex)] == '9')
Given that your first if statement checks the entire space that is mutually exclusive from this, you don't need to perform the logical check here.

 

 

A useful exercise would be to look over the code and determine, specifically, why it's so slow with particularly large numbers and to see if there's any way you could improve upon the existing code to speed it up (potentially a lot).
