[algogeeks] Facebook Intern F2F Interview
bool foo(int x) // Implement this function where 0 = x = 100 It should return true x% of times n false otherwise first i told him to have a static int s then increment it each time the func is called... and if s % (100 - x ) == 0 then true else false. then he told me to have some different approach.. I told him like this: bool foo(int x) { // checking if x is btw 0 100 if(x == 0) return false; if(x == 100) return true; srand(time(0)); int rno = rand(); if(rno % (100 - x) == 0) return True; else return False; } He was like okk but i think he was not completely satisfied Any other Approach... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Algorithm Geeks group.

Generate a random number from 1 to 100. If it is less than or equal to x, return true, else return false. This will ensure that ur returning true with x/100 probability.
