#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { double a = 50000000, b = 70000000; short int years = 0; while (b > a) { a *= 1.03; b *= 1.02; years++; } cout << years << " years"; return 0; }

do you need only the answer or the code that counts the result?

In psuedo-code: Create variables for: years (int) country A's population (double) country B's population (double) WHILE (countryBPop > countryAPop) { countryAPop * 1.03 countryBPop * 1.02 years++ } Output years
