Java Modulus operator

freakyg · 06-06-2007, 02:04 PM

First of all this is not homework, I saw this on another forum and it looked interesting. I managed to program this out in Java but I'm having a hard time converting it to javascript and/or perl...can you give me a hand please.....

Quote:

First create a variable called total (int initialised to 0),
then write a loop which counts a variable (int loopCounter) from 0 to 1013.

Within the loop block the following needs to be performed:
1) the total must be updated by adding 2*loopCounter to the total.
2) Then loopCounter%3 must be added to the total. (% is Java for modulus).

thanks much

With what are you having problems?

I don't want to just post a solution, without giving you a real helping hand, but I've written one in Perl if you want it.

Code:

use warnings;
use strict;

my $total = 0;
foreach my $loopCounter (0 .. 1013) {
    $total += 2 * $loopCounter;
    $total += $loopCounter % 3;
}

print $total;
