PICTURE OF ACTOR

So in this nine week class I started with doing this WSQ09. I started reviewing in creating and calling functions in C++.#Mastery06, #Mastery07, #Mastery16 Use of recursion for repetitive algorithms, #Mastery17 When to use what type of repetition in a program, #Mastery18 Creation and use of Arrays/ Vectors in C++. Futhermore, in this WSQ assignment we have mostly all the topics of the course from 1 to 20.

What I did for this numeric program is solving the problem to the user by creating a program that asks the user for two pieces of data:

  • The lower bound of the sequence
  • The upper bound of the sequence
Then you check the values from the lower bound (inclusive) to the upper bound (inclusive) and make a report of them. During the analysis of each number, if a Lychrel number is found it should be reported immediately with something like “Found a Lychrel number: 196”
The report must show:
  • The range of numbers analysed (lower to upper bound)
  • The number of natural palindromes (no addition to inverse needed)
  • The number of non-Lycherels encountered (become palindromes)
  • The number of Lycherel number candidates (that did not converge to palindrome)

Since you will not be able to prove that a number is Lycherel (since you cannot computer forever to check), our definition for a Lycherel candidate will be if a number does not converge after 30 iterations of applying the addition to the inverse.

To get this working well, you will need support for Big Integers. So I need to use that library that my teacher  ken bauer has given to me, here you go:

Hence, the resources I need it to solve this program are here:

#Quiz09 See the struct function explained!

--Originally published at Solving Problems with Programming

THIS IS THE #QUIZ9 WHOSE OBJECTIVE IS CREATE AND CALL STRUCK FUNCTIONS TO DO DIFFERENT TASKS AT DIFFERENT TIMES USING RECURSION AND LOOPS. COVERING #MASTERYTOPIC06 #MASTERYTOPIC07 .

In this #QUIZ9 makes a function that receives four parameters: x1, y1, x2, y2 which are all floating point values.

The function is called distance and returns (float) the distance between x1,y1 and x2,y2 on the cartesian coordinate plane. (struct function)

Remember the distance between 2 points:

First let me show you the pictures of the quiz. At the beginning of the quiz we needed it to do this quiz in two ways one using a struct function and the other not. So let me show you the 2 solutions of this problem.

Solution with the struct function:

quiz9v2

quiz9v3

FIRST TO DO IN THIS #QUIZ09 with the struct solution is including the Library to call all the fuctions of inputs and outputs of data in languague C++ #MasteryTopic01

#include <iostream>//Library to call all the
//fuctions of inputs and outputs of data in languague
//C++ #MasteryTopic01

Then, we need a library to call all the fuctions of MATH of data in languague
C++ #MasteryTopic01

#include <cmath>//Library to call all the
//fuctions of MATH of data in languague
//C++ #MasteryTopic01

Next, we need a command that everytime goes with the instructions of input and outputs
of data that is call std but with this command helps writing these std out of the main because the machine factorizes them

using namespace std; //In C++ we need a command
// that everytime goes with the instructions of input and outputs
//of data that is call std but with this command helps writing
//these std out of the main because the machine factorizes them

Then, we need this structure of a function where you have subrutines in order to make

PICTURE OF ACTOR

So in this nine week class I started with doing this WSQ09. I started reviewing in creating and calling functions in C++.#Mastery06, #Mastery07, #Mastery16 Use of recursion for repetitive algorithms, #Mastery17 When to use what type of repetition in a program, #Mastery18 Creation and use of Arrays/ Vectors in C++.

Futhermore in this assignment we have two new mastery topics covered #Mastery19 Creation and use of strings and #Mastery21 Reading and writing of text files.

What I did for this numeric program is solving the problem to the user by writing a function that receives as parameter the name of a file (this would be a string value like data.txt) and this function counts the number of lines and the number of characters in the file which it returns as a single value (but with two values). I will want to look at how to create/define and return a struct value from a function and how to open and read text files line by line.

Hence, the resources I need it to solve this program are here:

So in this eight week class I started with doing the survey of mid semester where I gave ideas in order to improve this course and this and this WSQ07. I started reviewing in creating and calling functions in C++. #Mastery06, #Mastery07, #Mastery16 Use of recursion for repetitive algorithms, #Mastery17 When to use what type of repetition in a program and #Mastery18 Creation and use of Arrays/ Vectors in C++.

What I did for this numeric program is solving the problem to the user by writing a program that asks the user for 10 numbers  (floating point). Store those numbers in a list. Show to the user the total, average and standard deviation of those numbers.Futhermore, Once you have this working, change it so that users keep giving you values until they signal “no more values”. How would you implement this and in particular for the C++ group, how to you deal with an unknown size to your array during compilation?

The quantity of the value depends of the quantity of the type float variable that has only 32 bits of leght, therefore you need a new library in order to increase the value of numbers called Biginteger.hh but I am going to add it in the next WSQ08 called Yo soy 196. Next, to deal with an unknown size of my array during compilation we need to ask the user the number of that size and save it in a variable n.

The resources I need it to solve this program are here:

THIS IS THE #QUIZ8 WHOSE OBJECTIVE IS CREATE AND CALL FUNCTIONS TO DO DIFFERENT TASKS AT DIFFERENT TIMES USING RECURSION AND LOOPS. COVERING #MASTERYTOPIC06 #MASTERYTOPIC07 . This IS ALSO to fulfill the #Mastery12 Use of recursion for repetitive algorithms

This #QUIZ08 makes first a survey where I gave some advice or feedback to ken bauer in how i am learning in this course. Next, in this quiz 8 makes a function that calculates  and returns the “nth” Fibonacci number where we define a function over the Fibonacci numbers mapping the naturals (starting with zero) to the Fibonacci series.

Link of the picture:Link of the picture

So fibonacci(0) returns 0, fibonacci(1) returns 1, fibonacci(2) returns 1 and so on. Note that we are using the modern definition where the sequence starts with zero. I tried to implement this with two solutions: one with a loop and one with recursion. Which do I think is “better”, which looks more “elegant”, which is more “efficient”?

First let me show you the pictures of the quiz:

fibo3

fibo4fibo5

FIRST TO DO IN THIS #QUIZ08 with the recursion solution is writing a function called ‘fibonacci(int n)’ with an int parameter called n where this parameter is the value of the list in the serie.

Inside of this function, we have a condition a #Mastery10 use of the if statement. This command allows the condition if the value of n is equal to 0 or 1 when this condition will be true, the tasks inside of the statement will execute. In this case if the value of n is equal than 0 or 1 this will occur:

return n; //With this command you return the value of the int variable n in order to show it in THE MAIN FUNCTION

return n; //With this command you return the value of

1st Parcial Feedback How Am I doing so far in the course?

--Originally published at Solving Problems with Programming

So far in this partial I am doing fine but I need to mantain all my hard work constant in order to be great in the next months. Therefore, I can mantain my 100.

In the exam in the first exercise I just needed the command return 0; and in the other exercise it wasn’t neccesary to write the main function.

The following images show the exam:

So in this seven week class I started with doing the Computing for Social Good!!! and this WSQ06. Therefore, I started reviewing in creating and calling functions in C++. #Mastery06, #Mastery07, #Mastery16 Use of recursion for repetitive algorithms and #Mastery17 When to use what type of repetition in a program

What I did for this numeric program is solving the problem to the user by writing a program that asks the user for a non-negative integer (let’s call that number n) and display for them the value of n! (n factorial).

After showing them the answer, ask them if they would like to try another number (with a simple Y/N response) and either ask again (for Y) or quit the program and wish them a nice day (if they answered N).

Moreover, you need to have  two basic approaches: a loop with an accumulator of the multiplication and a recursive solution. Choose one and implement that. Once that is done, try the other way.

If you used a while loop for the solution with a loop, try structuring this with a for loop (or vice-versa). Therefore, I am going to show you the 2 solutions in order to accomplish the the masteries regarding recursion. #Mastery16 and #Mastery17

The resources I need it to solve this program with the loop algorithm are here:

Computing for Social Good!!!

--Originally published at Solving Problems with Programming

Link of the picture: LINK OF THE PICTURE

Last week I helped this project of computing for social good by doing a first survey based on the presentation that the teacher gave us in the class about how computing can solve real problems that affect every type of community.

4 of the 6 problems I gave in the survey were:

Perhaps, having new apps for each class with games and you are winning points or diamonds in order to exchange those for quizzes or exams or homework or projects and making a decrease of stress among students. Therefore, you will have more healthy students in order to appreciate it more the learning path.

  1. In my family community I have the problem that I know a person that is on a wheel chair and I think computing can help this person by using an app that could control this person’s house such as controlling the lamps, the pump of the water and maybe the gas tank. Therefore you will make this person life easier.

2.In my family community I have the problem that I pay to much for my electricity, so computing can help in developing a software that could increase the power factor near to 1.

  1. In my global community I had the problem that I wasted so much time looking for a manual of CNC machinary where I found it boring and tedious to read all the manual to fix the alarms that the machine was facing. So the computing can help in doing interactive troubleshooting.

In the next part of this project, I will be chating in a video conference with a student from the Grant MacEwan University in order to discuss how computing can benefiate our communities.
