Help with code

[fallen grail]

I have some code running but the specific number I want doesnt output lmk

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
const int N = 50;
short int a[N] = { 0,8,9,8,1,7,2,8,3,9,4,8,1,2,2,1,1,7,6,7,5,8,3,9,2,6,1,2,3,3,2,3,9,8,9,0,4,9,3,9,9,4,5,7,3,2,1,1,2,2};
short int b[N] = { 0,3,7,8,2,3,9,1,3,9,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,1,7,8,2,3,3,9,9,7,7,8,8,6,5,4,5,5,2,3,3,2,4,5,9,8,1,2,3,1,7,8,2,7};
short int c[N];

for (int j=N-1; j>=0; j--)
{
    c[j]=a[j]+b[j];
    if(c[j] > 9){
        c[j - 1] += c[j] / 10;
        c[j] %= 10;
    }
}
for (int j=0; j < N; j++)
    cout << c[j];
cout << endl;

}

this is what i got

number it outputs 01663019680355422835716813801977431371748269638949

Uhm, what you are doing here isn't what the prompt is asking you to do

You gotta sum up two large number, not two arrays.

for example:

;compile cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
  const int N = 4;
  short int a[N] = { 0,8,9,8102}; // largest num is 8102
  short int b[N] = { 0,3,7,88,}; // largest num is 88
  short int c[2] = {0, 0};
  
  for(int i= 0; i < N; i++)
  {
    if( a[i] > c[0])
    {
      c[0] = a[i];
    }
  
    if( b[i] > c[1])
    {
      c[1] = b[i];
    }
  }
  cout << c[0] << " + " << c[1] << " = ";
  cout << c[0] + c[1] << endl; // 8102 + 88 = 8190
}

Program Output

8102 + 88 = 8190

that's not it XD

it's for scientific calculus I would presume; the maximum values of any interger variable, even unsigned long long whatever, is finite

so the only way to define the input value is indeed either an array or many bytes of any data, contiguous in a struct
