Project Euler?

No,it just an interview question,it ask me to make codes to solve it

Thanks for sharing it with us ;)

Solution 7

What a boring question:

C++

int m = 449;
int r,i;
for(r=m,i=1;i<524;i++) r = (m*r)%1000;
// three digits: 201
for(r=m,i=1;i<524;i++) r = (m*r)%10000;
// four digits: 9201
for(r=m,i=1;i<524;i++) r = (m*r)%100000;
// five digits: 79201
for(r=m,i=1;i<524;i++) r = (m*r)%1000000;
// six digits: 779201

Regards.

Thank you.May be we do not have to calculate the result.

Use BigInteger[^]

BigInteger answer = BigInteger.Pow(449, 524);

I think the underlying question is how to get the result without using an extended precision library.

   449 * 449 = 201601
201601 * 449 = 90518849

but we can see only the four least significant digits are required as
  1601 * 449 = 718849

Coding a suitable loop gives the result in a speedy 8 microseconds!

[EDIT]
In response to the comment
The general technique is demonstrated with a small calculation and there is no need to go beyond 449^3 (90518849) as the result is applicable to any power.

The important point is that in each iteration of the calculation we need to carry forward only the last 4 digits of the previous result.

C#

Int32 result = 1;
for (Int32 i = 0; i < 524; ++i) {
  result = (result * 449) % 10000;
}
