Well, here we are, the last WSQ. It was really only about downloading SciLab correctly and goofing around with it, which was nice. I, for one, had no problem downloading it in the first try, and even though it looks like a version of CodeBlocks that graphs functions, it seems to have a lot … Continue reading WSQ 17 →
Second to last WSQ… starting to feel the need for coffee now. It wasn’t so hard after doing the Quiz 11, it was only a matter of looking for the right functions to use and put the code and the text file in the same directory. Which for me means, at the home folder since … Continue reading WSQ 16 →
The final dash! So currently there are a little over 12 hours left before everything closes down and all hell breaks lose because of the finals. As good a time as any to dedicate that time to finishing everything there is to finish. From here on out, I will be doing every mastery that’s needed … Continue reading WSQ 16 →
So this final week we focused on getting the code to work… at least properly enough with the capacities of the Magick++ library in the working environment of Ubuntu. At this point we have our own code working correctly with the help of Magick++ functions. Due to that not being the nature of the assignment, … Continue reading Final Project: Week 3 →
Question #1: Write a function called calculateE that receives a single float parameter accuracy and calculates the value of e using using sufficient terms ) until the difference between two successive calculations differ by LESS than the parameter accuracy. Oh boy, this sounds good already! This was the easier question, no doubt. Checking for help … Continue reading Quiz 11 →
The ECOS – formerly known as ECOAS – are coming. They are a very important tool for feedback which we should all take responsibility for. They’re kind of like a vote, where you decide the fate of the teachers eerily as they wait for the imminent results… ok so maybe not like that. But they … Continue reading Bonus Quiz – ECOS →
Progress this week was sufficient… we could have done a bit more but installing the Magick++ library and its component is the first step to making sure everything runs smoothly in the end. We started by making sure we knew just what ImageMagick was, and the functionalities it will provide for the project. Then we … Continue reading Final Project – Week #1 →
So many items, we might forget something… Using lists with arrays and vectors is quite easy, but here we need to combine that knowledge with our knowledge of functions and mathematics… oh and C++. Almost missed that one. Doing it with arrays was easy, so I wanted to do it with vectors and asked for … Continue reading WSQ10 →
Description: C++ coding conventions and basic types and their use in C++. The handbook to all that’s acceptable to do in C++, and general structure of the language. A great way to start for all of you information-hungry people. Let’s get started! [Eventual Youtube link]
You should follow the leader… and multiply yourself times them. Factorials are one of the most fascinating parts of math, but I for one couldn’t wrap my head around how to do a code for this one. Credit to my partner Samantha Rivera for showing me an easy way to do it through recursion. I’ll … Continue reading WSQ09 →
