Describing numbers

8
Locked

Suppose we need to separate numbers according to some criteria. For example, based on whether they are even or odd, or based on the number of digits. Have you got a picture of that in your mind? And now for the work: we'll write a program that describes the number entered by the user (it must be in the range from 1 to 999). The description will indicate whether the number is even or odd, and how many digits it has.

Did anyone notice that in the solution code that there is an error? Any odd negative number returns "odd one-digit number". Don't know if the developers of the website want to fix it...

I checked for even or odd. Then I checked for string length. It didn't like that. I then adjusted my check to reflect the actual value instead of the string length. It still didn't like it. I keep getting 'Recommendation from your mentor: Be sure that the program correctly handles numbers in the specified range." Who is this mentor, and how can I have a word with him/her about their cruddy testing criteria?

Wow, it has been a while - I was away on vacation. I realized that one of my errors was that I was saying 'single digit number' and then 'DOUBLE digit number' when I should have been saying 'TWO digit number', so my output strings were wrong. I was barking up the wrong tree.

think like a coder. what is a single digit number? all numbers between 1 and 9 inclusive. Similar with two and three digit numbers, then combine it with condition if number is odd or even, and don't forget that only valid range is between 1 and 999 (any number that is less or more to result in an empty block of code, aka do nothing). Worked like a charm. For me it was helpful to watch Think Like a Coder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhAAmyGnA-M&list=PLJicmE8fK0EgogMqDYMgcADT1j5b911or Best of luck everyone!

Any idea why it didn't like my

sNum.length()<4

check instead of checking whether the integer is between 1-999? I tested multiple (even negative) numbers with the length() solution and it was working fine.
