Write A C++ Program Which Takes An Integer N ≥ 0 From

Write a C++ program which: 1. takes an integer n ≥ 0 from stdin provided by the user. 2. creates a string concat primes of length 1000 from the first k prime numbers by concatenating them as strings. (You have to decide on the value of k). 3. The program has to compile and work perfectly in visual studio or xcode (mac) 4. prints the first 5 characters of concat primes starting at index n. For example, the first k prime numbers are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17....

Below is a complete C++ program that fulfills the specified requirements. It first prompts the user to input a non-negative integer n (n ≥ 0). It then generates a list of prime numbers until the concatenated string reaches at least 1000 characters in length, concatenating each prime as a string. It determines an appropriate number of primes (k) such that the total length surpasses 1000 characters, ensuring the concat_primes string is sufficiently long. Finally, the program outputs five characters starting at position n in this string. The code is designed to be compatible with Visual Studio and Xcode execution environments.

Code Implementation

#include <iostream>

include <string>


include <vector>


include <cmath>


// Function to check if a number is prime


bool isPrime(int num) {


if (num 

if (num == 2) return true;


if (num % 2 == 0) return false;


int sqrtNum = static_cast(std::sqrt(num));


for (int i = 3; i 

if (num % i == 0) return false;


}


return true;


}


// Function to generate prime numbers until the concatenated string exceeds 1000 characters


std::string get_concatenated_primes() {


const int target_length = 1000;


std::vector primes;


std::string concat_str;


int number = 2; // Start from the first prime


while (concat_str.length() 

if (isPrime(number)) {


primes.push_back(number);


concat_str += std::to_string(number);


}


++number;


}


return concat_str;


}


// Function to extract a substring of 5 characters starting at index n


std::string get_slice_of_5(const std::string& primes_str, int n) {


// Ensure that the start index is within bounds


if (n  static_cast(primes_str.length())) {


// If out of bounds, return an empty string or handle accordingly


return "";


}


return primes_str.substr(n, 5);


}


int main() {


int n;


// Prompt user for input until a valid non-negative integer is entered


while (true) {


std::cout 

std::cin >> n;


if (std::cin.fail() || n 

std::cin.clear(); // Clear error flag


std::cin.ignore(std::numeric_limits<:streamsize>::max(), '\n'); // Discard invalid input


std::cout 

} else {


break;


}


}


// Generate the concatenated string of primes


std::string concat_primes = get_concatenated_primes();


// Output the five-character slice starting at n


std::string result = get_slice_of_5(concat_primes, n);


if (result.empty()) {


std::cout 

} else {


std::cout 

}


return 0;


}

Explanation

This program performs the following key steps:

  • Prime Generation: A helper function isPrime determines whether a number is prime using trial division up to its square root. The main function get_concatenated_primes iteratively tests numbers starting from 2 and appends prime numbers to a vector and string until the string's length exceeds 1000 characters.
  • Substring Extraction: The function get_slice_of_5 extracts five characters from the concatenated prime string starting from position n. It handles cases where the index might be out of bounds to avoid runtime errors.
  • User Input Validation: The main function prompts the user to input a valid non-negative integer n, repeating until valid input is provided.
  • Output: The program displays the five characters starting from position n in the concatenated prime string, complying with the requirements specified in the prompt.

This implementation ensures compatibility with standard IDEs like Visual Studio and Xcode and demonstrates good programming practices such as input validation and modular code organization.
