C++ Basic Algorithm: Exercise-122 with Solution

Write a C++ program to check a positive integer and return true if it contains the number 3. Otherwise return false.

Test Data:
(143) -> 1
(678) -> 0
(963) -> 1

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

bool test(int n)
     {
      while (n > 0)
          {
             if (n % 10 == 3) return true;
                n /= 10;
          }
    return false;
   }

int main() {

  int n = 143;
  cout << "Original number: " << n;
  cout << "\nCheck the said integer contains 3? " << test(n);
  n = 678;
  cout << "\n\nOriginal number: " << n;
  cout << "\nCheck the said integer contains 3? " << test(n);
  n = 963;
  cout << "\n\nOriginal number: " << n;
  cout << "\nCheck the said integer contains 3? " << test(n);
  return 0;
}

Sample Output:

Original number: 143
Check the said integer contains 3? 1

Original number: 678
Check the said integer contains 3? 0

Original number: 963
Check the said integer contains 3? 1

What is the usefulness of `enable_shared_from_this?

It enables you to get a valid shared_ptr instance to this, when all you have is this. Without it, you would have no way of getting a shared_ptr to this, unless you already had one as a member.

class Y: public enable_shared_from_this
{
public:

    shared_ptr f()
    {
        return shared_from_this();
    }
}

int main()
{
    shared_ptr p(new Y);
    shared_ptr q = p->f();
    assert(p == q);
    assert(!(p < q || q < p)); // p and q must share ownership
}

The method f() returns a valid shared_ptr, even though it had no member instance. Note that you cannot simply do this:

class Y: public enable_shared_from_this
{
public:

    shared_ptr f()
    {
        return shared_ptr(this);
    }
}

The shared pointer that this returned will have a different reference count from the "proper" one, and one of them will end up losing and holding a dangling reference when the object is deleted.
