Maximum of the Product of Two Numbers

 

Introduction

Find the maximum value of the product of two positive numbers whose sum is 100.

using System;

public class Program
{
    static int Main()
    {
        // Find the maximum value of the product of 
        // two positive numbers whose sum is 100.
        for(int i = 1; i < 100; i++)
            Console.WriteLine("{0,2} + {1,2} = {2,2}\t{3,2} * {4,2} = {5,4}",
                              i, 100 - i, i + (100 - i),
                              i, 100 - i, i * (100 - i));

        Console.WriteLine();
        return 0;
    }
}

This would produce:
