You seem to be interested in this stuff...why not pursue a formal program of instruction...start by taking C for credit..they will teach you some basic algorithm stuff...then C++ where you will get...

Really though,

I think his instructor would really appreciate a more elegant solution; i.e. an algorithm that makes less iterations.

You know like the old manual...

C++ was an attempt to make C what Ada is.

but, Bjarne S. couldn't quite get there alone.

There is so much beauty in the language design of Ada, if C++ went through the development process Ada...

Ever take a course in algorithms or advanced data structures where they discuss the concept of "Big O"

The solution you provided would surely get a big "D" everywhere I went to school... a "D" is...

read the first 3 chapters in your C programming text book first..

that will explain something about the basic format

EXIT_SUCCESS defined???

C images (executables) are smaller than C++ (bloatware).
C executes with less instructions and therefore executes faster for those interested in realtime applications on OS's such as VxWorks.
