Given 3 numbers x, y and n compute the division (x/y) upto n decimal places.

Examples : 

Input  : x = 22, y = 7, n = 10
Output : 3.1428571428
Explanation : Since n = 10, division (x / y) is taken till 10 decimal places.

Input  : x = 22, y = 7, n = 20
Output : 3.14285714285714285714

 

Approach : 
 

  1. Get the remainder and get it subtracted by the dividend, multiply it by ten and go to the next iteration.
  2. If we reach the complete result, we may not need to continue until the pre-defined number of iterations are reached.

 Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// CPP program to compute division upto n
// decimal places.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
void precisionCompute(int x, int y, int n)
{
    // Base cases
    if (y == 0) {
        cout << "Infinite" << endl;
        return;
    }
    if (x == 0) {
        cout << 0 << endl;
        return;
    }
    if (n <= 0) {
        // Since n <= 0, don't compute after
        // the decimal
        cout << x / y << endl;
        return;
    }
  
    // Handling negative numbers
    if (((x > 0) && (y < 0)) || ((x < 0) && (y > 0))) {
        cout << "-";
        x = x > 0 ? x : -x;
        y = y > 0 ? y : -y;
    }
  
    // Integral division
    int d = x / y;
  
    // Now one by print digits after dot
    // using school division method.
    for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
        cout << d;
        x = x - (y * d);
        if (x == 0)
            break;
        x = x * 10;
        d = x / y;
        if (i == 0)
            cout << ".";
    }
}
  
// Driver Program
int main()
{
    int x = 22, y = 7, n = 15;
    precisionCompute(x, y, n);
    return 0;
}
