Hey everyone,
So, for a very silly project in C++, we are making our own long integer class, called VLI (Very Long Int). The way it works (they backboned it, blame them for stupidity) is this:
- User inputs up to 50 digits, which are input as string.
- String is stored in pre-made Sequence class, which stores the string in an array, in reverse order.
That means, when "1234" is input, it gets stored as [4|3|2|1].
So, my question is this: How can I go about doing division using only these arrays of chars?
If the input answer is over 32 digits, I can't use ints to check for stuff, and they basically saying using long ints here is cheating.
Any input is welcome, and I can give more clarification if need be, thanks everyone.
