The number 21 (base 10) is not palindrome in base 10, but the number 21 (base 10) is, in fact, a palindrome in base 2 (10101).
Write a program that reads two numbers (expressed in base 10):
- N (1 <= N <= 15)
- S (0 < S < 10000)
PROGRAM NAME: dualpal
INPUT FORMAT
A single line with space separated integers N and S.SAMPLE INPUT (file dualpal.in)
3 25
OUTPUT FORMAT
N lines, each with a base 10 number that is palindromic when expressed in at least two of the bases 2..10. The numbers should be listed in order from smallest to largest.SAMPLE OUTPUT (file dualpal.out)
26 27 28
Brute force search - base conversion - palindrome checking
Easily iterate from s+1 and each time convert the number to all the bases and check whether they are palindrome or not, if the number is palindrome in more than 2 bases, print that number and decrement n.
when I want to convert a number to base b, I used strings, it's simpler to check whether it is palindrome or not, and for checking whether the given string is palindrome or not I use two pointers to the beginning and to the end of the string and check whether they are equal or not, whenever a position is found that they are not equal I return false, otherwise I return true at the end.
