k-Rough Number or k-Jagged Number in C++

In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that checks whether the given number is k-rough or k-jagged number or not.

The number whose smallest prime factor is greater than or equal to the given k, it is called k-rough or k-jagged number.

Let's see the steps to solve the problem.

• Initialise the numbers n and k.
• Find all the prime numbers that are factors of n and store them in a vector.
• Get the first element from the vector and compare it with k to check whether n is k-rough or k-jagged number or not.

Example

Let's see the code.

 Live Demo

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
bool isPrime(int n) {
   for (int i = 2; i * i <= n; i++) {
      if (n % i == 0) {
         return false;
      }
   }
   return true;
}
vector<int> getPrimes(int n) {
   vector<int> primes;
   for (int i = 2; i < n; i++) {
      if (n % i == 0 && isPrime(i)) {
         primes.push_back(i);
      }
   }
   return primes;
}
bool isRoughNumber(int n, int k) {
   vector<int> primes = getPrimes(n);
   return primes[0] >= k;
}
int main() {
   int n = 75, k = 3;
   if (isRoughNumber(n, k)) {
      cout << n << " is a " << k << " rough number" << endl;
   }else {
      cout << n << " is not a " << k << " rough number" << endl;
   }
   return 0;
}

Output

If you run the above program, then you will get the following result.

75 is a 3 rough number

Conclusion

You can avoid storing all the prime numbers in the vector. And find the first prime factor of n and compare it with k to get the desired output. Implement the idea which is similar to the above one with lesser space and time complexity.
