What is an algorithmic puzzle sample?
Alice and Bob play a game. Alice thinks of two positive integers A and B, A <= B, and Bob has to report how many integers between A and B, inclusive, are divisible by 10. Help Bob and write a program that solves this question.
Hese is a solution coded in C++:
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int A, B; cin >> A >> B; int ret = B / 10 - (A - 1) / 10; cout << ret << endl; return 0; }
