Question
![**Title: Generating Random Numbers and Calculating Quotients using C++**
**Objective:**
Learn how to generate random numbers in C++ and perform simple arithmetic operations. This example focuses on generating two random numbers within specified ranges and finding their quotient.
**Task Description:**
Write a C++ program to generate a random integer `x` in the range [1, 9] and another random integer `y` in the range [11, 99]. The program should then calculate and print the value of the quotient `y/x`.
**Implementation Details:**
1. **Import Required Libraries:**
- Use `<iostream>` for input and output.
- Use `<cstdlib>` and `<ctime>` for generating random numbers.
2. **Generate Random Numbers:**
- Initialize the random seed using `srand(time(0))` to ensure different outputs each time the program runs.
- Generate `x` using `rand() % 9 + 1` to ensure `x` is between 1 and 9.
- Generate `y` using `rand() % 89 + 11` for a range between 11 and 99.
3. **Calculate and Print the Quotient:**
- Perform the division of the two random numbers (`y/x`).
- Print the result to the console.
**Sample Code:**
```cpp
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
int main() {
// Initialize random seed
srand(time(0));
// Generate random numbers
int x = rand() % 9 + 1; // Random number between 1 and 9
int y = rand() % 89 + 11; // Random number between 11 and 99
// Calculate the quotient
double result = static_cast<double>(y) / x;
// Output the result
std::cout << "Random numbers: x = " << x << ", y = " << y << std::endl;
std::cout << "The value of y/x = " << result << std::endl;
return 0;
}
```
**Conclusion:**
This program demonstrates the process of generating random numbers and performing basic arithmetic operations in C++. Adjusting the random number ranges allows you to experiment and understand how random number generation works in various contexts.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/91500a8e-39cc-457a-a00f-f9674d495f85/da4f3975-9d0a-478e-8419-24689c2f9bb7/8umsw0o_thumbnail.jpeg)

Then the user must enter another number that is greater than the previous entered starting point to stop finding 'b'. Another number should be entered that is greater than 0 find 'r'. User should enter another number that needs to be greater than 'r' to stop finding 'r'. Now you must compute the value of 'b' and 'r'. For the 'b', there should be an r where the gdc(r,r+i)>2 or gcd(r+b,r+i)>2. If it is true, then print the value of b and r, else print “no”. 'b' is a positive number where a+i are the consecutive integers (until the stop finding r) where 0<i<b. The program should start from the entered b value to the stop finding value b.arrow_forwardWe would like to write a C program that takes a string (which is an array of characters that ends with the character of ASCII code 0, i.e., ‘\0’) and finds how many times the sequence of characters “ab” appears in that string.
