Random C Stuff.

/**
 *Without using /, % or * operator, write a function to divide a number by 3.
 **/

#include



int divideby3(int);



int main(int argc,char **argv)

{

    int res;

    res = divideby3(9);

    printf("%d",res);

    return 0;

}



int divideby3(int aNumber)

{

    div_t d = div(aNumber, 3);

    return d.quot;

}

Never have explored the capablities of stdlib. Infact, with C Programming Language out of touch for so many months, I was thinking this program will seriously fail, thinking kind of how come div_t datatype, d.quote (object.property ?) etc. gcc will crib saying dont using c++. But it worked perfectly fine.

umm, structs are part of standard C.

div_t is a struct:

/* Returned by `div'.  */



typedef struct



{



int quot;                   /* Quotient.  */



int rem;                    /* Remainder.  */



} div_t;

Yes , I realized about struct datatype in C and unfortunately forgot the mention that in the post. All I was thinking about is, it was so out-of-mind (due to out-of-sight) and all obj.property and obj.method was what coming up.
