Java Basic: Exercise-164 with Solution
Write a Java program to divide the two given integers using the subtraction operator.
Pictorial Presentation:

Sample Solution:
Java Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Solution {
public static float divide_using_subtraction(int dividend, int divider) {
if (divider == 0) {
return 0;
}
float result = 0;
while (dividend > divider) {
dividend -= divider;
result++;
}
float decimalPart = (float) dividend / (float) divider;
result += decimalPart;
return result;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Input the dividend: ");
int dividend = in.nextInt();
System.out.print("Input the divider: ");
int divider = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("\nResult: " + divide_using_subtraction(dividend,divider));
}
}
Sample Output:
Input the dividend: 625 Input the divider: 25 Result: 25.0
