Answer 1

DjBox61 please check first line of your comp function...

it is as below :
for(int j=1;j<b;b++)

with this , you are doing initialization of j as 1... adding 1 everytime to your number b by b++... so, you are never going to have j<b ... so, it is infinite loop and you get time exit notification..

change as below and you are done :
for(int j=1;j<b;j++) //j++ instead of b++
