Problem with large values
Sep 30, 2012 at 5:11pm UTC
So i'm trying to divide large numbers into prime factors. My problem is that if the value is greater than 1*10^9 the program does nothing and just exit. Anyone know as to why this happens?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
long int Search = 1 ,a = 2,MaxPrime,prime, PrimeFactor;
int main()
{
cout << "enter a number that you want divided into prim factors" << endl;
cin >> MaxPrime;
PrimeFactor = MaxPrime;
while (a < PrimeFactor+1)
{
for (a; Search < a-1; Search++)
{
if (a % Search == 0 && Search != 1)
{
Search = 1;
break ;
}
}
if (a % Search != 0 || a == 2)
{
prime = a;
Search = 1;
if (PrimeFactor % prime == 0 && prime != 0)
{
cout << prime << " is a primefactor in " << PrimeFactor << endl;
PrimeFactor = PrimeFactor / prime;
a = 1;
}
}
a++;
}
system("pause" );
return 0;
}

A 32-bit signed integer can hold values from -2147483648 to +2147483647.
Sounds like you are exceeding the permitted range.
