17 and WSQ09.cpp

--Originally published at Solving Problems with Programming

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:

PICTURE OF ACTOR

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:

#Quiz08 See the algorithm of Fibonacci serie explained!

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:

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

FactorialCalculator???

Well, I do no what is a factorial….

So in order to solve this problem I search on the most trusthly page on internet… Wikipedia, then I notice that a factorial is :

In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of all positive integers less than or equal to n. For example,

5!=5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1=120.\

So the problem was this:

Create 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).

And then to solve this problem I put my normal main and later I do my function that says that is going to start in 1 because cero isn’t important, so while c is less than 1 is going to sum 1 till reach that number that the user input, and then is going to return me the new value that is going to be a or the result :).

Fibonacci

--Originally published at Tec Life

So the problem was make to a program to do a fibonacci serie, so in order to do it I search on internet what a fibonacci serie is, and I found that is a serie that sum the two last number and converted in a new one like 2 + 3 = 5 then the next number will be 5 + 3 = 8 and like that until ends, so in order to not crash my computer I put in the main that the user write how many digits the serie would have :).

I made two programs that does the same thing, the only deference is that one uses functions and the other not.

In the program with the function I start writing my function starting on 0 that in case that the user type 0 or 1 is going to return me that number, and in case that the condition doesn’t be true then is going to return me the number – 2 + the number -1 making a serie, but that only is going to one time, so I use a do while to print all the values of the serie, then I use a for to make all the serie appears and thats all :).

And in the other program because the first to number there are not going to repeat I printed first with a cout and then I use my for to start and finish the serie depending the conditions.

And here is and image of jumping corgi in the snow :).

Have fun

Quiz 6

--Originally published at Tec Life

In order to do this quiz I search the information in one site: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/

We have to solve 5 problems; the first one was about correcting one program and run it, so I use two new libraries in order to solve the program and start testing and rewriting the program, and the final result was this:

The second problem was about writing a program to read in a character, an integer, and a float, and print out the values, then cast to other types; so that the interaction with the user is something like the following:

The next program was only about to the following pattern:

                        C
                      i   I
                    s       s
                  b           b
                e               e
              s                   s
            t s e b s i C i s b e s t

So the only thing that I have to do was print the letters in that order and that was all

For the fourth problem they ask us to write a program to read three ints and to print them in ascending order, so the most easy thing to do was using a lot of if and else to solve this problem:

And the last problem they ask us to write a program given the following rules, write a program to read a year (4 digit integer) and tell whether the given year is/was a leap year.

There were no leap years before 1752.
If the year divides by 400 then it is a leap year.
All other years that divide by 100 are not leap years.
All other years that divide by four are leap years.

So I use the main if as 1752 because if that wasn’t true then the year will be normal, the I use another if to say the conditions when the year will be

(Quiz 4) Minimum and double of bla bla bla

--Originally published at Programming Path

The quiz today, #quiz4, was to run a program where the user inputs three numbers (x, y and z) and give you the minimum number and the sum of its squares. We didn’t use any library like the last quiz, but we used functions. These was to return the minimum and the result of the sum.

Here is the code:

Click to view slideshow.

And here as well:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int minimunThree (int, int, int);
int sumSquares (int, int, int);
int main () {
int x, y, z, m, ss;
cout << “Please give me x: “;
cin >> x;
cout << “Please give me y: “;
cin >> y;
cout << “Please give me z: “;
cin >> z;
m = minimunThree (x, y, z);
ss = sumSquares (x, y, z);
cout << endl << “The minimum number is: ” << m << endl;
cout << “The sum of squares is: ” << ss;
return 0;
}
int minimunThree (int x, int y, int z) {
int rm;
if (x < y && x < z) {
rm = x;
}
else if (y < x && y < z) {
rm = y;
}
else if (z < x && z < y) {
rm = z;
}
return rm;
}
int sumSquares (int x, int y, int z) {
int sx, sy, sz, rs;
sx = x * x;
sy = y * y;
sz = z * z;
rs = sx + sy + sz;
return rs;
}

The result is like this:

Please give me x: 9
Please give me y: 4
Please give me z: 12

The minimum number is: 4
The sum of squares is: 241

This covers #Mastery12. If you have any doubts, don’t hesitate in asking.
