Division of two numbers using array list ? help

Nov 5 2013 6:00 AM

Hi there, 


I need help with two methods:

 

One that does the division between the numbers  & one that returns the mod

 

The program's goal is to do these math operations without using the Big-Int class from java. That's the reason why

I use Array Lists to do it.

 

import java.util.*;

public class NumberOperations {

public static void main(String[] args){

 

ArrayList<Integer> biggerNumber = new ArrayList<Integer>();

ArrayList<Integer> smallerNumber = new ArrayList<Integer>();

ArrayList<Integer> operatedNumber = new ArrayList<Integer>();

 

//just make the program work with big numbers like this.

//thats the whole purpose: handeling big numbers.

String num1 = "123456789101112";

 

String num2 = "12345678910";

 

//I thought about storing the numbers backwards into the arraylist

//for a better handeling of the number, feel free to do it as you pleased.



for(int i = num1.length() -1; i>= 0; i --){

char numberChar = num1.charAt(i);

String numberString = ""+numberChar;

biggerNumber.add(Integer.parseInt(numberString));

}

 



System.out.println("Printing num1: "); // output: [2,1,1,1,0,1,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]

 

for(int i = num2.length() -1; i>= 0; i --){

char numberChar = num2.charAt(i);

String numberString = ""+numberChar;

smallerNumber.add(Integer.parseInt(numberString));

}

 



System.out.println("Printing num2: "); //output: [0,1,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1]

 

 

// also, assume that the bigger number is always first in parameters, which is num1.

// and smaller number is second in parameters, which is num2.

 

 

operatedNumber = devide(biggerNumber, smallerNumber);

System.out.println("Division of numbers: " + operatedNumber); // dont worry about the output from this

// or if the number outputs backwards

 

 

operatedNumber = mod(biggerNumber, smallerNumber);

System.out.println("Mod of numbers: " + operatedNumber); // dont worry about the output from this

// or if the number outputs backwards

 

}

 

//Division method should look like this:

 

public static ArrayList<Integer> devide(ArrayList<Integer> bigger, ArrayList<Integer> smaller){

 

ArrayList<Integer> devidedNumber = new ArrayList<Integer>();

//

//

//

return devidedNumber;

}

//I also need a method that returns the mod of two numbers.

//This is basically the same as devision() method except that it returns the mod.

public static ArrayList<Integer> mod(ArrayList<Integer> bigger, ArrayList<Integer> smaller){

ArrayList<Integer> modOfNumbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();

//

//

//

return modOfNumbers;

}

 

}

 Cheers thanks . any help is appreciated ..
