Question

For example,

I have a range 14269-14274.

To conserve space on the screen my users want to have it display in the format 14269-74.

Another example would be a range of 14269-14529 which should output as 14269-529.

How would I achieve this?

Answer 1

Something like this should do the trick:

int a = 14269;
int b = 14529;
int endrange = b % pow(10, floor(log10(b - a) + 1));

You need to make sure that a < b though.
