Using Strings

[EVEI]

I Am Being Asked To Write A Program Using C++ That Would Do The Following Multiplication Using Addition With The Use Of Strings 89542*321can I Please Get Some Clues On How To Do It .we Were Given That 5*3=5+5+5 Or 3+3+3+3+3

[curiously enough]

Please clarify your question. What do you mean by "With The Use Of Strings"?

[whodgson]

Use a for loop with the small integer as the condition. ie i<351;
In the body of loop k+=k;//where k=bignumber
Not sure what you mean about strings.

Actually it's k+=a where a is a constant and is one of the two numbers to be multiplied. k+=k is equivalent to the geometric sequence U(n+1)=Un*2, not to multiplication( which I assume is what this guy might be asking for).

Yep sum+=k where k=89542in a loop with an end condition of i<351; is a better way of expressing it
