From f095ed3cde79c9fafbc55d482c9b610d052fda3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SHANAWAZ ALAM <22052755@kiit.ac.in> Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2024 22:46:59 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] fix: resolve binary addition and substring issues in Karatsuba algorithm fix: correct binary addition and substring handling in the Karatsuba algorithm - Fixed the `add_strings` function to handle binary addition correctly. - Improved the `safe_substr` function to manage leading zeros and extract substrings properly. - Ensured correct bit shifting by using `1LL <<` for 64-bit integers. - Added comprehensive self-tests to verify functionality. This fixes incorrect results from the Karatsuba algorithm for binary multiplication. --- ...suba_algorithm_for_fast_multiplication.cpp | 84 +++++++------------ 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+), 52 deletions(-) diff --git a/divide_and_conquer/karatsuba_algorithm_for_fast_multiplication.cpp b/divide_and_conquer/karatsuba_algorithm_for_fast_multiplication.cpp index 1d9bd86cdda..9d4281c1d85 100644 --- a/divide_and_conquer/karatsuba_algorithm_for_fast_multiplication.cpp +++ b/divide_and_conquer/karatsuba_algorithm_for_fast_multiplication.cpp @@ -30,8 +30,8 @@ namespace divide_and_conquer { namespace karatsuba_algorithm { /** * @brief Binary addition - * @param first, the input string 1 - * @param second, the input string 2 + * @param first the input string 1 + * @param second the input string 2 * @returns the sum binary string */ std::string add_strings(std::string first, std::string second) { @@ -40,63 +40,48 @@ std::string add_strings(std::string first, std::string second) { // make the string lengths equal int64_t len1 = first.size();
