UVA 136 - Ugly Numbers

Problem : Ugly Numbers
Ugly numbers are numbers whose only prime factors are 2, 3 or 5. The sequence 
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, ... 
shows the first 11 ugly numbers. By convention, 1 is included. 
Write a program to find and print the 1500'th ugly number. 

Input and Output
There is no input to this program. Output should consist of a single line as shown below, with <number> replaced by the number computed. 

Sample output
The 1500'th ugly number is <number>. 

My accepted code is given below:
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    long long a,b,c,n,i,ar[1599]={0},x,y,z;
    a=b=c=n=1;
    ar[1]=1;
    while(n!=1501)
    {
        //cout<<ar[n]<<endl;
        x=2*ar[a];
        y=3*ar[b];
        z=5*ar[c];
        ar[++n]=min(x,min(y,z));
        if(ar[n]==x)
            a++;
        if(ar[n]==y)
            b++;
            if(ar[n]==z)
            c++;
    }
    cout<<"The 1500'th ugly number is "<<ar[1500]<<"."<<endl;
}

  2. Thank your solution, i was build a new code with same algorithm and it accepted
    #include
    #define int long long
    using namespace std;

    int32_t main(){
    set myset;

    myset.insert(1);

    auto it= myset.begin();

    int cnt= 0;

    while(++cnt < 1500){
    int x= (*it)*2;
    int y= (*it)*3;
    int z= (*it)*5;

    myset.insert(x);
    myset.insert(y);
    myset.insert(z);
    it++;

    }
    cout<<"The 1500'th ugly number is "<<(*it)<<".\n";

    }
