While we are more than willing to help those that are stuck, that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you.
So we need you to do the work, and we will help you when you get stuck. That doesn't mean we will give you a step by step solution you can hand in!
Start by explaining where you are at the moment, and what the next step in the process is. Then tell us what you have tried to get that next step working, and what happened when you did.
I'd start by reading the question: it has two parts:
1) Find the digit
R
that repeats (or at least find the first if there are more than one: 12321 has both 1 and 2 repeated).
2) Find how many times it repeats
n
3) Calculate r^n and check if it is even or odd.
Step (3) can be simplified, but probably shouldn't because your assignment is specific. (For all positive values of x, x^n is always even if x is even, and odd if x is odd.)
So implement step 1 and test it lots - make sure it works for every input you can think of including values of N that have no repeating digit.
When that works, add code to get the count
n
and test that again.
When that works, look at the third step.
Do note that ^ in C is the binary XOR operator, so if your assignment expects t to be "
R
to the power of
n
" you can't use it - you will need to use the
pow
function or write your own code to do it.
