Find N % 4 (Remainder with 4) for a large value of N

Given a string str representing a large integer, the task is to find the result of N % 4.

Examples:

Input: N = 81
Output: 1



Input: N = 46234624362346435768440
Output: 0

Approach: The remainder of division by 4 is dependent on only the last 2 digits of a number, so instead of dividing N we divide only the last two digits of N and find the remainder.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// Function to return s % n
int findMod4(string s, int n)
{
  
    // To store the number formed by
    // the last two digits
    int k;
  
    // If it contains a single digit
    if (n == 1)
        k = s[0] - '0';
  
    // Take last 2 digits
    else
        k = (s[n - 2] - '0') * 10
            + s[n - 1] - '0';
  
    return (k % 4);
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
    string s = "81";
    int n = s.length();
    cout << findMod4(s, n);
  
    return 0;
}
