The counter will count the number of iterations a program using the algorithm takes to output the gcd.  Reduce the number of iterations Reduce the number of iterations it takes to find the gcd. **Question 1:** I want to know that in Q2, in between the loop if B != 0 is true, will it be good if we can indicate some display on the following: - Display if A is more than B, then following by display the answer of A after A - B, and continue the loop again till the end, instead of display the answer in the end only. ---
