Introduction
The objective of this assignment is to master the use of selective and nested repetitive control flow.
You will write nested loops to look for Kaprekar numbers.
A Kaprekar number is a positive integer if the digits of the square
2
can be split into two parts
that add up to , where the part formed from the low-order (rightmost) digits of
2
must be nonzero
(although leading zeroes are allowed in the part). For example, 45 is a Kaprekar number,
because 45
2 = 2025 can be split into two parts 20 and 25, with 20 + 25 = 45. As another example,
999 is also a Kaprekar number, because 999
2 = 998001 and 998 + 001 = 999. (Note the loworder
part 001 includes leading zeroes.) However, 31 is not a Kaprekar number, because all three
possible splits of 31
2 = 961 are no good (96 + 1 ≠ 31, 9 + 61 ≠ 31, and 0 + 961 ≠ 31).
Program Specification
The program shall ask for two user inputs and . They are assumed to be always integers. You are
required to use the data type long long instead of int for all integer variables in this assignment,
because a square can easily go overflow with (that is, larger than the upper bound of) the int type.
1. The program first prompts the user to enter an integer . When is not positive, you shall
display a warning message and ask for another input, until is positive. Your program shall look
for Kaprekar number(s) greater than or equal to .
2. Then prompt the user to enter how many Kaprekar numbers the user is looking for. When this
input is not positive, display a warning message and ask for another input, until is positive.
3. After validating inputs and , repeatedly test , + 1, + 2, + 3, … to check whether it is a
Kaprekar number. If so, print out the square and the split of the two parts. (See the upcoming
Sample Runs section for the printing format.) Repeat these checks until Kaprekar numbers are
found and printed. Then program execution ends.
➢ To check whether a number is a Kaprekar number, you progressively check all possible
splits of
2
. E.g., let = 345 and hence
2 = 11**25. The first split to check is 11**2 and
5; the next split is 11** and 25; the next split is 119 and 025; and so on.
Note: In this assignment, you are not allowed to: (1) use any functions in the <cmath> library, (2)
write any functions other than main(), and (3) use any arrays/vectors (which are not yet taught).
Sample Runs
In the following sample runs, the blue text is user input and the other text is the program printout.
You can try the provided sample program for other input. Your program output should be exactly the
same as the sample program (same text, symbols, letter case, spacings, etc.). Note that there is a
space after the ‘:’ and ‘?’ in the program printout. CSCI1540 Fundamental Computing with C++, Fall 2024/25
