C++ Exercises: Find the larger from two given integers

C++ Basic Algorithm: Exercise-49 with Solution

Larger Integer or Smaller with Same Remainder Modulo 7

Write a C++ program to find the larger of two given integers. However if the two integers have the same remainder when divided by 7, then return the smaller integer. If the two integers are the same, return 0.

Sample Solution:

C++ Code :

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function 'test' takes two integers (x, y) as parameters
int test(int x, int y)
{
    // Checks if x is equal to y
    if (x == y)
    {
        return 0; // Returns 0 if x is equal to y
    }
    // Checks conditions for returning x or y based on specific cases
    else if ((x % 7 == y % 7 && x < y) || x > y)
    {
        return x; // Returns x if x%7 equals y%7 and x is less than y, or if x is greater than y
    }
    else
    {
        return y; // Returns y in all other cases
    }
}

int main() 
{
    // Testing the 'test' function with different sets of numbers
    cout << test(11, 21) << endl; 
    cout << test(11, 20) << endl; 
    cout << test(10, 10) << endl; 

    return 0;    
}

Sample Output:

21 
20 
0

Previous: Write a C++ program to check three given integers and return true if one of them is 20 or more less than one of the others.
Next: Write a C++ program to check two given integers, each in the range 10..99. Return true if a digit appears in both numbers, such as the 3 in 13 and 33.
