我最近一直在研究Euler项目。我在C编程并有一个与问题8相关的查询。问题是:

Find the greatest product of five consecutive digits in the 1000-digit number.

这是我自己完成的工作:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
    char *string = "731671765313306249192251196744.............";
    char *x;
    x = string;
    for(int counter = 0;counter < 2;counter++)
    {
        printf("%s\n", x + strlen(x) - 5);
        x = x + strlen(x) - 5;
    }
}

所以,问题在于无法理解下一步该做什么。我能够提取数字,但是使用这些数字的算法是什么,并创建一个快速有效的算法。所以,请帮忙!另一个问题是,当我尝试将char转换为int值时,它会失败并提供错误&#34;错误:指向整数转换的不兼容指针初始化&#39; char&#39;表达式为&#39; char [1001]&#39;。我已经使用这些方法将值转换为这里:Coversion of char to int,就这样吧。如果有更多建议,请提出更好的建议......

答案 0 :(得分:0)

您可以读取字符串中的字符,将它们转换为整数,然后找到它们的产品,以检查哪组5个连续整数给出最高的产品。失去乐趣和学习,你可以尝试自己做,你可以试试这个。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

// calculates the product of a group of numeric chars
// after converting them to int type
int gproduct(char *s, int glen) {
    int i = 0;
    int val = 1;

    // convert a numeric char to int value by subtracting '0'
    // assuming the chars are encoded in ascii. consider using
    // the standard library function atoi for portability.
    while(i < glen)
        val *= (s[i++] - '0');  

    return val;
}

int main(void) {
    char *numstr = "731671765313306249192251196744.............";
    int glen = 5;  // group length
    int maxcount = strlen(numstr) - glen;  
    int maxval = gproduct(numstr, glen);  // initialize maxval
    int tempval;
    for(int i = 1; i < maxcount; i++) {
        tempval = gproduct(numstr + i, glen);
        if(tempval > maxval) 
            maxval = tempval;  
    }
    printf("%d\n", maxval);
    return 0;
}
