even division anyone?

[BeBop]

Problem:
take a number $num

$num = 32;

now continually divide $num / 2 until it reaches 1... ONLY return even values (no 5's for instance).. and DONT return duplicate entries

Anyone have a clue on how to do this?

^.^ I've tried several variations on the for loop and I still cant get it

[JonM]

now i'm not familar with for but shouldn't it be something like

for( when num = 1) {
$num / 2;
}

Sincerely,
Elite

that'll return every single number thats divisble by 2... ^.^;

// Side note, this is for PHP lol... incase anyone didnt get that

I only want the even NON repeated ones

$d = 32;
for($a = 2; $a <= ($d+ 2); $a+=2){
$var = round($d/$a, 0);
if($var != $var-2){
echo $var."<br>";
}
}

The ouput for that is:

16
8
5 // dont want that
4
3 // nor that
3 // nor that
2 // only once
2 // not 2x
2 // not 3x
2 // not 4x
1 // only once
1 // not the other 5 times
1
1
1
1
1

Got it ^.^
Well someone at programmingtalk.com got it for me

heres what ya do

while( $num != 1) {
$remainder = $num % 2;
if ($remainder == 1)
$num /= 2;
else {
$num /= 2;
echo $num."<br>";
}
}

Works beautifully

Nice! BTW why did you need it?

[BeBop]

[DevilDog#1]

[JonM]

Hey here, i put this together so you can check on the status of the script when you want

PS: I'm not sure if this will be made free or for pay, im still tossing the idea up... but so far i've been working on it for a week and its goign to have A LOT of features ... Maybe make a "Lite" free version or something.

Let me know what you all think.

I've been working on it two days straight barely interruptions lol... reason being: My AA account wont let me login cuz my username has some hex characters in it... only allowed one user change every 24 hours x.x

PSS: -Elite-... making the brackets show up... PAIN IN THE ASS ^.^ just so you know it took me about a month to figure it out lol... on my own... i probably should've asked someone... one day it just popped into my head *Hey! Do it that way using that!* and bam... it worked ^.^
