C++ Exercises: Check if a given array of integers contains a 3 or a 5

C++ Basic Algorithm: Exercise-106 with Solution

Check for Presence of '3' or '5' in Array

Write a C++ program to check if a given array of integers contains a 3 or a 5.

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream>  // Including input-output stream header file

using namespace std;  // Using standard namespace

// Function definition that checks if all elements in the array are either 3 or 5
static bool test(int nums[], int arr_length)
{
    // Loop through the array to check if all elements are either 3 or 5
    for (int i = 0; i < arr_length; i++)
    {
        if (nums[i] != 3 && nums[i] != 5)  // Checking if the element is neither 3 nor 5
            return false;  // Returning false if any element is different from 3 or 5
    }
    return true;  // Returning true if all elements are either 3 or 5
}

int main() 
{  
    int nums1[] = {5, 5, 5, 5, 5};  // Initializing array nums1 with all elements as 5
    int arr_length = sizeof(nums1) / sizeof(nums1[0]);  // Calculating length of array nums1

    // Calling test function with nums1 and displaying the result (true or false)
    cout << test(nums1, arr_length) << endl; 

    int nums2[] = {3, 3, 3, 3};  // Initializing array nums2 with all elements as 3
    arr_length = sizeof(nums2) / sizeof(nums2[0]);  // Calculating length of array nums2

    // Calling test function with nums2 and displaying the result (true or false)
    cout << test(nums2, arr_length) << endl;

    int nums3[] = {3, 3, 3, 5, 5, 5};  // Initializing array nums3 with elements as both 3 and 5
    arr_length = sizeof(nums3) / sizeof(nums3[0]);  // Calculating length of array nums3

    // Calling test function with nums3 and displaying the result (true or false)
    cout << test(nums3, arr_length) << endl;

    int nums4[] = {1, 6, 8, 10};  // Initializing array nums4 with elements other than 3 and 5
    arr_length = sizeof(nums4) / sizeof(nums4[0]);  // Calculating length of array nums4

    // Calling test function with nums4 and displaying the result (true or false)
    cout << test(nums4, arr_length) << endl;

    return 0;  // Returning 0 to indicate successful completion of the program
}
