C++ :: Program Returning NaN For Quadric Equation

Mar 29, 2013

My program is returning NaN even though the value in square root function is not negative -1*b + ((sqrt(pow(b,2) * -4 *(a*c))) / 2).

x = 10;
y = -1;
z = 1;

Heres the program:

main.cpp:

#include <iostream>
#include "Quad.h"
double x,y,z; // variable x = 'a', variable y = 'b' and variable z = 'c'.

[Code] ....

I would like it return the answer and not "NaN".

C :: Program To Solve The Quadratic Equation

Feb 3, 2013

I am creating a program that solves the quadratic equation ax^2 + bx +c.

I have this program almost complete except the output of the equation in the function called display_quadratic. I need the program to display the variables a,b,c in the equation ax^2 + bx + c but I am having 2 problems. My first problem is that I cannot get the right addition and subtraction signs for the equation.

For instance, if the program had the values for a,b,c as 2,2,3

it will display 2x^2 2x 3

How can I get it to display 2x^2 + 2x + 3? or if it was negative like 2x^2 - 2x - 3?

My next question is how do I get to not display the coefficients that are 1?

I had an if-else statement but no matter what I created it would overlap with another statement and print out twice. Here is the code:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>

void display_quadratic (float a, float b, float c);
float root1(float a, float b, float c);

C++ :: How To Get The Value Of Variable From Equation

Mar 25, 2013

how to take two variables with values such as a 1; and b 2;. Now you take cout << a + b; and you will get 3, but I want to somehow have a 1; b 2; and c num; then have a + b = c. So what ever I have the user input is for a and be added together will become the value of the c variable.

C++ :: Distance Between 2 Points Equation

Apr 14, 2013

Write a program that creates the output shown in the Output Layout section below. The program should create 2 points with x and y coordinates as integers, prompt the user to input the x and y values for one of the points and randomly set the other (-99 to 99 range) and output the length of the radius line segment and the area of the circle that radius defines. The program should then end. Include an SDM for the program and any other appropriate documentation.

Special Calculations:
Distance between 2 points equation:
√((p0x – p1x)2 + (p0y – p1y)2) (This requires use of the math library)

Output Layout: (bold text represents user input)

Please enter the location of your first point.
Enter a value from -99 to 99 for your x coordinate: -2
Enter a value from -99 to 99 for your y coordinate: 17

The location of your second randomly set point.
Your x coordinate: 45
Your y coordinate: -89

The length of the radius line segment from point one to point two is 115.
The area of the circle with a radius of 115 is 41546.33.

Other:

int pAx;
int pAy;
int pBx;
int pBy;

C/C++ :: Optimizing Equation For Cases Of 0

Feb 19, 2015

I'm writing an algorithm on a microcontroller in C.

One of the iterations that takes a long time involves the following equation, summing the product of pairs of variables:

signed char VarA;
signed char VarA;
signed long VarA;
Total+=VarA*VarB;

The vast majority of cases, at least one of the variables VarA and VarB will be 0, so nothing will be added to Total.

Is there a way to check for this condition which might give me a performance increase over doing a lot of multiplying-by-zeros?

C :: Multiple Roots For Quartic Equation

Sep 10, 2013

I am having trouble understanding how this loops would work. Give the function (x*x*x*x) - (10*x*x*x) + (35*x*x) - (50*x) + 24 Write a program that will use bisection method to find the roots of this function. Define lower limit and upper limit (e.g. -1.05 and 6.05) Starting at the lower limit step along the X axis at intervals of 0.1 for H calculating the function values f(x) and f(x +h), then f(x+h) and f(x+2h) until the upper limit is exceeded. If sign of the function value changes this indicates a root between ranges. Apply bi sectional method to this range until root has been found with an epsilon of 0.000001, then continue on until upper limit has been exceeded and all 4 roots found. If the function is within 0.000001 of zero then root has been found therefore no need for bi sectional method.

Code:

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "math.h"
#define H 0.1
#define epsilon 0.000001
double F(double x);
int main(void)

[code]....

So we have a function and a range. Program requires to work along the X axis at 0.1 increments until it reaches a point where the value changes from positive to negative or negative to positive. Then apply bisection method within that range to a given accuracy then print that root. Then continue on X axis until the next change of sign is found.

C++ :: Trapezoidal Method Differential Equation

May 11, 2013

I am working on a program to find the value of the current in a coil. This value satisfies the following equation:

y'=sin(2t)-[(ey-1)/(ey+1)]

which is of the form y'=f(t,y)

I know that in order to solve this I need to use the trapezoidal method to solve a differential equation, the formula is:

yn+1=yn+.5*h(f(tn,yn)+f(tn+1,yn+1) where h=tn+1-tn

I have found examples of the standard trapezoidal method but I do not think they will work because of the difference in the formulas.

C/C++ :: Quadratic Equation Solver - Simplification Function

Jul 6, 2014

So, I successfully made a program that will perform the quadratic equation on three numbers, imaginary or real. however, i am now trying to simplify the result, as to get rid of the "/2a" on the bottom. Hence the simplify() function. I just started to create the simplification function, and am attempting to divide the imaginary part of the solution as well as the real part of the solution by 2a. Somehow, it gives the error, "error:invalid operands of types 'int' and 'double *' to binary 'operator*'" on lines 105 and 106. I suspect it has to do with the pointers and references that i am passing as parameters. Also, just an aside, I have never actually seen "/=" be used. It can be, right? I know "+=" can be.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>//simplify the answer
using namespace std;
int count=0;
//prototyping
double ans_1(double,double,double);

C++ :: Function Returning A Value

Feb 20, 2015

I am making a game commonly know as the Hangman using C++.

Now I am trying to add a man in it like this:

0
|/
|
/

Now the problem i am facing is that i am using a check that if a function returns the value 0 "return 0" it means the guess is wrong and it will not update the man but if it returns any value there will be a function called which will update the man.

I just wanna know that how i am going to use the check, the kind of thing that i am trying to use is, in general words "if(function returns a value) then update the man"

int main() {
return match;
}

How are we going to use it in check that if int main is returning 'match' in the check...

C++ :: Int Function Not Returning A Value

Jan 22, 2014

This simple little program is not returning a value. The output is

" (string) contains characters" (The number of characters is supposed to display between the 'contains' and 'characters.'

However, if I go to the function and cout the length, the cout in the main body displays just fine.

Here's the main portion :

cout << "'" << input << "' contains "; //Output of character count.
charCount(input);
cout << " characters, including any spaces.
"; //Output of character count.

and here's the function.

int charCount(char *string) {
int length = 0; //Variable to hold the number of characters.
//Gets the number of characters contained in *string and puts that number into length.
