I'm having a bit of trouble solving this problem. The objective is to find the largest product of five consecutive digits in this 1,000 digit number.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
char *num = "73167176531330624919225119674426574742355349194934"
"96983520312774506326239578318016984801869478851843"

"71636269561882670428252483600823257530420752963450";
int i, tmp=1, product = 0, final_product = 0;
for(i = 0; num[i] != NULL; i++)
{
printf("%i\n", num[i] - '0');
tmp *= num[i] - '0';
if((i+1) % 5 == 0)
{
printf("------------------------\n");
product = tmp;
tmp = 1;
if(product > final_product)
final_product = product;
}
}
printf("Largest product ------> %i\n", final_product);
return 0;
}
The answer should be 40,824 but I'm getting 31,752. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
