Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

My attempt: 

public class LargeNumber {
	
	String number;
	
	public LargeNumber(String number){
		this.number = number;
	}
	
	public LargeNumber add(LargeNumber other){
		
		String shortest = (other.number.length() = 0; i--){
			int boost = longest.length()-shortest.length();
			
			sum[i+1]+=(i-boost 9){
				sum[i] = 1;
				sum[i+1] -= 10;
			}			
		}
		
		String result = java.util.Arrays.toString(sum);
		if(result.charAt(0)=='0') result = result.substring(1);
		
		return new LargeNumber(result);
		
	}

}

Correction for last answer:


public class LargeNumber {
	
	String number;
	
	public LargeNumber(String number){
		this.number = number;
	}
	
	public LargeNumber add(LargeNumber other){
		
		String shortest = (other.number.length() = 0; i--){
			int boost = longest.length()-shortest.length();
			
			sum[i+1]+=(i-boost 9){
				sum[i] = 1;
				sum[i+1] -= 10;
			}			
		}
		
		String result = java.util.Arrays.toString(sum);
		result = result.replace(",", "").replace("]", "").replace("[", "").replace(" ", "");
		if(result.charAt(0)=='0') result = result.substring(1);
		
		
		return new LargeNumber(result);
		
	}

}
