The Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of two positive integers is the largest integer

which can be divided evenly into both integers.

Problem 1: Given two integers A and B (assume that A > B) write a C program that
calls a function called primitiveGCD( A,B) to calculate the GCD of two positive
integers. This function uses a simple algorithm based on successive test of all
numbers less of equal B to find the greatest common divisor.
The pseudo-algorithm for implementing the function is as follows:
1. Require that A ≥ 0 and B ≥ 0
2. If A < B swap A and B
3. Set g = B
4. While g does not simultaneously divide A and B let g=g-1
5. Return g

Problem 2:
Euclide’s algorithm for calculating the GCD of two positive integers is based on the
following observation:
Given two nonnegative integers A and B where (A > B), then
the greatest common divisor of A and B is also the common
divisor of A%B and B.
Write a C program that calls a function EuclideGCD(A,B) that implements Euclid’s
algorithm
Which algorithm is more efficient? Count the number of arithmetic operations used
by each algorithm.
Check the your programs with the following data
A=259 B=111
A=1035 B=55

Here is a java solution for EUCLIDE's - it is a recursive function enjoy
class GCD {

public int gcd(int m, int n) {

if (m < n) {
int t = m;
m = n;
n = t;
}

int r = m % n;

if (r == 0) {
return n;
} else {
return gcd(n, r);
}

}

};

can somebody help me write this:



Overview
Using the previous labs on C++ classes as examples, you will now write a class from scratch. Your class will be a 'Person' object and, like other classes, will have data and member functions. Your class will have at least two constructors. It will also have accessor functions for each of the required data . Additionally, the class you create must have a validate() function.

After the class has been written, you will use the class and instantiate a 'Person' by reading from a database file. After reading in each person, you will validate the 'Person' instantiated by assuring the data have 'reasonable' values. Some of the values in the database will be 'unreasonable' and it is your task to sort each 'Person' instantiated into a file called 'valid.txt' and 'invalid.txt'. You are not allowed to alter the values of the original data file.

To get started, create a new empty Win32 Console Application project. Call the project Person Project, and the solution Lab09. Then click on Add Class in the Project menu and select C++ (in the left ) and C++ Class (in the right ). Enter the name of your new class: Person. Be sure to deselect all other options in the dialog box.

Preprocessor directives
Be sure to include all the preprocessor directives that your Person class will use. Preprocessor directives could be libraries, namespaces, #defines, etc. For example, you probably want to include the string class: #include <string>

Constructors
You are required to write a default constructor and a constructor that takes two parameters: first name and last name. You may write more constructors, if desired.

Data
The required data are listed below. When declaring your data , consider the range of possible values (and reasonable values) each data member can have. Doing so will help you choose the correct data type for that data member. (Using appropriate data types is an important part of memory management.)
Your class is required to have the following data (their required ranges are listed as well, all data ranges are inclusive):

first name: any length string of characters
last name: any length string of characters
age: 0 through 115 (years)
gpa: 0.0 through 4.0
gender: M or F
height: 30.0 through 230.5 (cm)
You may include other data , but these are required. Be sure that any other data , and their requisite accessor functions, do not interfere with the requirements of the assignment.
Accessor Functions
You are required to have accessor functions for each of the above data . Accessor functions, also called 'setters' and 'getters', either gets (returns) or sets a value associated with an object of the class.

Member Functions
You are required to have a function named 'validate' that returns a boolean and takes no parameters. This function, and any other function that makes no changes to the class data , should be declared as 'const'. This function determines whether a given instance of a 'Person' is valid or invalid. An instance of a 'Person' is considered valid if all of its data values are within the given ranges. Data for first name and last name do not need to be validated.

You are encouraged to write other member functions that demonstrate your knowledge; these functions must not break the rest of your code!



Test Program
When writing a class, it is important to that your code meets the provided requirements, as well as any pre-conditions and post-conditions. To do this, after your class is written, you must write a program that tests each of your constructors, the end-points of each of the data , each of the accessor functions, and any other member functions that you have included.

A good way to test a class is to instantiate several objects of that type using each of the constructors, then use all the accessors to return and set the data . After this, the member functions can be tested by calling them with a range of values from the instantiated objects, particularly any relevant end-points. If there is any unexpected behavior, your class might have an error.

You will now write such a test program. We have provided some code for you to make this task easier: PersonTestExample.p (place this file into your Person project folder, along side your class header and source file). Our example code declares and opens files for you. If you have forgotten how to read or write data from a file stream object, refer back to Lab 5.

Using the provided database file, PersonFile.txt, you will read-in each line of data and instantiate a 'Person' with that data. Save this file into your Lab09/PersonClass directory. Each 'Person' object should then be 'validated' using the member function 'validate()'. If a particular object is valid, you will output all of the data for that 'Person' object into a file called 'valid.txt'. If a particular object is invalid, you will output all of the data for that 'Person' object to a file named 'invalid.txt'. You must provide these files as part of your .zip file submission (e.g., check that they are in your Lab09/PersonClass directory).

The format of the database file is as follows:
Each line of the file contains information for one person. This information is always in the following order:
lastname firstname age gpa gender height
These items are separated by spaces, i.e., there is one space character between each of the values, nothing else.

Hint: The Time class had you answer four bold questions to help organize your design. We encourage you to write down the answers to each of these questions again, this time for the Person class.

Hint: Design your algorithm BEFORE you begin coding.


Hint: Practice proper data encapsulation by using the 'public' and 'private' keywords appropriately.

This is really simple @Labiran. If since March, you have not learned how to do this, I suggest you actually Start to READ YOUR BOOK

@Kobojunkie,

can u pls tell me how to do it becuz i do read the book and still dont understand it. thank

http://www.codersource.net/p_tutorial_class.html


http://www.intap.net/~drw/p/p07_01.htm

Please spend time reading these, even if you have to use a dictionary, use it. If you want, I can even send you videos to help you learn it.

@ Kobojunkie,

thanks for the reading material. i tried to complete the program with it but it still doesn't work. i must be one of the worst programmers ever.

well, your choice

is it possible for me to show you my code? maybe you can tell what is wrong with it.

Best for you since you have seen those videos and read those tutorials and still do not know how to code this, you may need to c++ forums where even the people there require that you do your work and if you have an error that you are dealing with, you can post your question with the code you are having problems with and they can better help that way but if you are looking for someone to help you write your code, I suggest you instead take a semester off from school and take time to learn how to write basic code, get the concept and then when you get back, you have a better idea of what exactly it is you are dealing with

@ Kobojunkie, thank u for the advice

Very good advice from kobojunkie.

The real world is brutal! And you will be tested, at least in the western world. If you do not perfom, they will get rid of you quickly. So, as mentioned, make sure you do what you can to solve this simple problem yourself. For some of us, programming comes natural. I also understand that some of us have to work a bit harder for the concepts to sink.


Good luck to you.

anyone think they can get me started? i learn by trial and error

@labiran
Sam's Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days and Sam's Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6.0 in 21 Days are very good materials for beginers to intermidiate level programmers.

Programming will require a lot of visualisation, you need to be able to mentaly step into the problem as if its a room then decide how to solve it. It's all in the head.

With reference to one of your previous post on a different thread: Nairaland is not useless. There are people who can and will help you if you will only properly articulate your problem and maybe show some effort in helping yourself. Also don't forget to be courtoues to them. They don't get paid to help you. Appreciate their efforts even if they are unable to give you exactly what you want. They atleast gave you their time.

try to create a thread for your own questions too so that people can easily identify your needs and offer a solution if they have one.

Goodluck and Enjoy.

Here is the problem with Labiran's post, Your first post on this thread was from back in March. If after you were given the solution for that one, you actually took time to study the subject and learnt it. I see no reason why by now, you can not take information from at least one of those links I gave you and have come up with the answer or something for you to work with so far. For you to come back after the posts I gave you to ask where you need to start from, not only paints you as a very unserious person but also someone who is looking to have others do his/her work and that is not what forums are there to do for you. If you can not spend time on your own to do work, how do you expect to blame people for your own demise??

@Kobojunkie,
i'm surprised at your level of thoughtlessness.  use your two eyes to read the starter of this thread.  It was not me!  My own started just a few days ago, not all the way back in March.  Who said I was blaming others?  It's like you are reading imaginary lines.  yes, i'm a beginner and did find your websites very helpful (thank you very much!).  it is just I needed like a trial and error experience because programming is hard for me.  I have actually already completed the project bro! thanks

@labiran

I've sent u the 2 books to your email add

for help go to http://www.spiralteck.com

@ tonak

Check your inbox, i've sent you all the books you requested.
If you've got any probs while learning, send me a mail.

Web deg and programming is becoming the talk of the moment in information and computer technology. People are made to pay heavy amount of money in other to learn how to design and program web pages. You don’t need to be a computer scientist or a guru in computer for you to know how to handle that. I have a self explanatory tutorial that can guide you to learn how to become a web programmer using the most popular, and powerful web programming language called PHP.

As you go through the site, you can search other free links go get more tutorial in other software with little or no fee. http://knowphp.webs.io

Cheers! Share with others.
