In this program, You will learn how to find quotient without using division operator in R.
Example: How to find quotient without using division operator in R
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 | { x <- as.integer(readline(prompt = "Enter first number :")) y <- as.integer(readline(prompt = "Enter second number :")) c = 0 while (x >= y) { x = x - y c = c + 1 } print(paste("Quotient is :", c)) } |
The code first reads in values for x
and y
from the user and stores them as integers. It then initializes a variable c
to 0.
The code then enters a while
loop which continues to execute as long as x
is greater than or equal to y
. Inside the loop, the code subtracts y
from x
and increments c
by 1. This continues until x
is no longer greater than or equal to y
.
After the while
loop has finished executing, the code prints the value of c
to the console. This value is the quotient of x
and y
, which is the number of times y
can be subtracted from x
before x
becomes less than y
.
For example, if x
is 10 and y
is 3, the code would execute the while
loop 4 times and c
would be 4. This is because 3 can be subtracted from 10 four times before 10 becomes less than 3.
