Problem 1: Multiples
Write an application with a method multiple that determines, for a pair of integers, whether the second integer is a multiple of the first. The method should take two integer arguments and return true if the second is a multiple of the first and false otherwise.
[Hint: Use the remainder operator] Incorporate this method into an application that inputs a series of pairs of integers (one pair at a time) and determines whether the second value in each pair is a multiple of the first.
Explanation / Answer
The easy solution to this is to use the modulus (%). It returns 0 if the first number is a multiple of the second. So your function would look like this: bool isMultiple( int original, int multiple ) { if( multiple%original == 0 ) return true; else return false; } The modulus is a lifesaver for these types of problems. Hope this helps.
