Question about Transportation(c++ Code Project)

Question

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int station = 50;
int passengers;
cin >> passengers;
int empty = passengers - station*(passengers % station);

cout << empty;
return 0;
}
What is wrong with the code? It keeps giving me negative answers
If the input is 24, the output should be 36 but this doesn't

Answer 1

How do you get 36 from 24 by subtraction? 🤔

Answer 2

Well, p - s*(p/s) is the same as p%s

Answer 3

forgot cout << empty; this is wrong
count << 50 - empty; this is right

Answer 4

You probably meant
station*(passenger / station)

Answer 5

oh wait im so dumb
thanks

Answer 6

😄
You're welcome 🙂

Answer 7

The description telling me to use % made me confused

Answer 8

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int station = 50;
int passengers,empty;
cin>>passengers;
if (passengers<50){
empty = 50-passengers;}
else{
empty = (passengers % station);}

cout << empty;
return 0;
}

Answer 9

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

int a ;
int b ;
cin >> a ;
b = a % 50 ;
cout << 50 - b ;

return 0;
}
