you will implement an algorithm that uses stacks to add numbers of any size. (C or C++)
The largest magnitude of integers is limited. We are not able to add 18,274,364,583,929,273,748,525 and 8,129,498,165,026,350,236 because integer variables cannot hold such large values, let alone their sum.
The problem can be solved if we treat these numbers as strings of numerals, store the numbers corresponding to these numerals on two stacks, and then perform addition by popping from the stacks. The pseudocode for this algorithm is as follows:
addLargeNumbers(number1, number2)
read the numerals of the first number and store them on one stack read the numerals of the second number and store them on another stack
var result := 0
while at least one stack is not empty
pop a numeral from each nonempty stack and add them to result push the unit part of addition onto a new stack called the result stack store the carry part of the addition in result
push result onto the result stack if it is not zero
pop numbers from the result stack and display them
a) (6 point) Implement the addLargeNumbers function with the following prototype:
void addLargeNumbers(const char *pNum1, const char *pNum2);
This function should output the result of adding the two numbers passed in as strings. Here is an example call to this function with the expected output:
/* Sample call to addLargeNumbers */
addLargeNumbers("592", "3784");
/* Expected output */
4376
b) (3 points) Implement a test program that demonstrates adding at least three pairs of large numbers (numbers larger than can be represented by a long).
