Question

We have an N x N square grid.

We will paint each square in the grid either black or white.

If we paint exactly A squares white, how many squares will be painted black?

A and N are integers,

Print the number of squares that will be painted black.
C++

Answer 1

The solution in C++ is:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(){

int N, A;

cout<<"Grids: "; cin>>N;

cout<<"White: "; cin>>A;

cout<<"Black: "<<N * N - A;

return 0;

}

Step-by-step explanation:

This declares N and A, as integers

int N, A;

This gets inputs for N

cout<<"Grids: "; cin>>N;

This gets inputs for A, (the white grids)

cout<<"White: "; cin>>A;

This calculates and prints the number of black grids

cout<<"Black: "<<N * N - A;

PS

From the question, we understand that the grid is N by N square grids.

This means that:

`Total = N * N`

So, the number of black grids is:

`Black = Total - A`
