calaculating gcd c++ code example

Example: gcd function in c++

int gcd(int a, int b) 
{ 
    // Everything divides 0  
    if (a == 0) 
       return b; 
    if (b == 0) 
       return a; 
    // base case 
    if (a == b) 
        return a; 
    // a is greater 
    if (a > b) 
        return gcd(a-b, b); 
    return gcd(a, b-a); 
}
