[solved] – Question 91255

Write a function named “g_c_d” that takes two positive integer arguments and returns as its value the
greatest common divisor of those two integers. If the function is passed an argument that is not positive (i.e.,
greater than zero), then the function should return the value 0 as a sentinel value to indicate that an error
occurred. Thus, for example,
cout << g_c_d(40,50) << endl; // will print 10
cout << g_c_d(256,625) << endl; // will print 1
cout << g_c_d(42,6) << endl; // will print 6
12
cout << g_c_d(0,32) << endl; // will print 0 (even though 32 is the g.c.d.)
cout << g_c_d(10,-6) << endl; // will print 0 (even though 2 is the g.c.d.)
