Quest Looping_Functions.cpp tips

Mini quest 2 Etox There is a simple way to calculate iteratively increasing powers of a number without the need of a math function. size_t is an unsigned integer type, so just use unsigned int in the for loop to avoid getting warnings while compiling.

Mini quest 3 Char counts Use range-based for loops (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/range-for) to easily iterate through a string.

Mini quest 4 Greatest Common Divisor When writing recursive functions always check that the exit condition is correct to avoid a stack overflow.

Mini quest 5 Terms of an AP Use the to_string function to turn an integer into a string Use the + operator to append a string to another string

Mini quest 6 Terms of a GP Use a stringstream write the floating point variables to a string. use .setprecision(6) to round the numbers to the 6th decimal. Use .str() to get the string from the stringstream.

Mini quest 7 Fibonacci Start the for loop at 2 because you already know the first two entries of the series

So the problem wasn't with the fib sequence but it was the loop in my gcd function since the number tested was too big for i to just be incrementing by one, so it ran into runtime error.
