In numerical analysis, there are several ways of computing the square root of a nonnegative, real number. The most ancient method we know of is the Babylonian Method, which works using approximations. using a simple algorithm found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing_square_roots you can calculate a very accurate approximation to the square root of a number.

here is the link to my github code:

WSQ13.cpp

And this is how it looks:

As you can see, it is pretty accurate. I set the error to 0.00001 (1/100,000).

Calculating the GCD is something we learn early in elementary school. Although we all are familiar with the term, many people is not familiar with an algorithm to calculate a GCD between two numbers. 

The eucledian algoritgth solves this problem quite well.

You can look this algorithm up in: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor

For #WSQ12 I wrote a program that does this. I´ll add a link for my gitHub code down below and I´ll also paste a couple pics of my code working.

Cheers!

#WSQ10 was about lists and working with arrays. I found a very useful site for learning pretty much any topic regarding c++.

Try: http://www.cplusplus.com

Here´s the link for my github code: WSQ10.cpp

Here is a pic of my code and one that shows how the program runs:

And Here´s how the program runs:

For this WSQ, I programmed a factorial calculator. The program asks the user for a relatively small, positive integer, the program does the calculation using a “Factorial” function, designed with a loop, and later prints the value. After delivering the calculation, the program asks the user if they would like to compute another value. This is done using a simple logical while loop. 

The structure of the program still is pretty basic, but does need attention in the use of functions. 

Below i´ll paste a few pictures of both my code and the running program:

And here´s the running program:

#WSQ09

For #WSQ08 of my #TC1017 course, I learned how to declare a few basic arithmetic functions.

This is how they look like:

After declaring functions, you just need to call them in the main section and write the arguments, which are the two variables you want the function to compute.

At the end, the program looks like this:

#TC1017

For #WSQ07 of my #TC1017 course I programmed a very interesting program to understand the use of “for” loops, and to understand the increment operators and compound assignment operators:

The program sums every number in a range given by the user.

Lets say the user gave 1 as the first number and 10 as the second number. The program would do the following:

0+1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10=55

The program also compares the first and the last numbers and makes reacomodates the first below the last so that the range is correctly calculated.

I´ll post a picture of my code.

Here notice im using a “For” loop.

First i assing “counter” the value of “first”. This only happens when the loop initializes. Then, For “Counter” is less or equal than “last”, counter is incremented by one. And if the conditional is true, the code inside the loop runs.

Sum += counter

Which can also be written as: Sum = Sum + counter.

When the conditional is no longer true, the program exits the loop and prints the value of “sum”.

here it is how it looks on the terminal.

Cheers.
