Write a program in C to check whether a given number is an ugly number or not.

Test Data
Input an integer number: 25

Sample Solution:

C Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
    int n, x = 0; // Declaration of variables 'n' and 'x' to store the input number and flag respectively
    printf("\n\n Check whether a given number is an ugly number:\n");
    printf("----------------------------------------------------\n");
    printf("Input an integer number: ");
    scanf("%d", &n); // Read an integer from the user and store it in variable 'n'

    if (n <= 0) {
        printf("Input a correct number."); // If the entered number is less than or equal to zero, prompt the user to input a correct number
    }

    while (n != 1) { // Loop to check if the number is an ugly number
        if (n % 5 == 0) {
            n /= 5; // If the number is divisible by 5, divide it by 5
        } else if (n % 3 == 0) {
            n /= 3; // If the number is divisible by 3, divide it by 3
        } else if (n % 2 == 0) {
            n /= 2; // If the number is divisible by 2, divide it by 2
        } else {
            printf("It is not an ugly number.\n"); // If the number is not divisible by 2, 3, or 5, it's not an ugly number
            x = 1; // Set flag 'x' to 1 to indicate it's not an ugly number
            break; // Exit the loop
        }
    }

    if (x == 0) { // Check if the flag 'x' is still 0 after the while loop
        printf("It is an ugly number.\n"); // If 'x' is 0, then it's an ugly number
    }
}

Sample Output:

Input an integer number: 25                                                                              
It is an ugly number.
