Because -----

(65x)2 = (32x)2 + (24x)2 + (9x)2 + 25.44

2544x2 = 25.44

x = 0.1 lac = 10000

So the weight of the diamond = 65x = 650000

Re: Change the case!

Sat, 19 May 2007 06:07:15 GMT
Using the library APIs is useful as we need not re-write code. However just using very few APIs of a library might turn out to be inefficient as the executable will include the whole library in which we will be accessing only 2 to 3 calls. (Unless the library is in the form of dll). This will increase the size of the executable and sometimes harm performance.

The problem is more glaring in this example. Instead of using ctype.h for converting cases a more efficient macro can be written.
int main()
{
int i, n = 20;
for (i = 0; -i < n; i--)
