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/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/C++ :: Quadratic Formula - If Statement Being Ignored

Jan 28, 2014

We are suppose to build a program to do the quadratic formula, which isnt really a issue. my issue is i have a if else loop and my if is being ignored.

what i want it to do is is state that if the (b * /> - 4(a)© is a negative, then it prints out stating it cant do this.

note: i know that i can use the i number system but we have been asked to not too and to do this instead.

here is my code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main() {
float a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i; /* i would love to figure out a way to do this without so many variables*/

C :: Calculate The Solutions Of Quadratic Equations

Oct 22, 2014

I have a task to find errors in this long line of code in order to correctly calculate the solutions of quadratic equations.

Code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int validInput, solution_type;
double a, b, c, root_1, root_2, q;

/***********************
* Input / Validation
***********************/

/* Check numbers of arguments, and read input */
validInput = (argc = 4);

[Code] ....

Is a section of the code (the first section). And as you can probably guess, it goes on to calculate for a > 0 etc...

I dont really understand what the validinput section is saying? And a, b and c are never defined so Xcode is just saying a,b,c,root1,root2 are uninitialized and I also dont know what means. Do I need to define these values?

Code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int validInput, solution_type;
double a, b, c, root_1, root_2, q;

C++ :: Quadratic Formula Loss Of Significance And Simplification

Feb 16, 2015

write codes that could solve a quadratic formula, and my codes are like this:

#include <bjarne/std_lib_facilities.h>
int main()
{
cout << "Enter the coefficients of a quadratic polynomial a*x**2 + b*x +c:
";
cout << " a? ";
double a;
cin >> a;
cout << " b? ";

[code]....

Which runs perfectly, but I have 2 questions:

1. How to simplify these code? On the assignment sheet the professor wrote about using void solve_linear(double b, double c); and void solve_ quadratic (double a, double b, double c);which I currently dont understand how these works. He asked us to write a well-encapsulated (as short as possible) program.

2. These are for extra points: the precision problem of floating numbers: professor asked us to find a way to get the precise answer of it, like this: Enter the coefficients of a quadratic polynomial a*x**2 + b*x +c:
a? 1
b? -20000
c? 1.5e-9
Trying to solve the quadratic equation 1*x*x + -20000*x + 1.5e-09 == 0
Using classical formula: Two roots, x = 20000 and x = 0
Using stable formula: Two roots, x = 20000 and x = 7.5e-14

My guess is that
A. Using code like if(x1*x2=a/c) to check if numbers were approximated.
B. Somehow determine the larger one in x1 and x2.
C. Somehow use that larger one to do something

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;

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++ :: Error With Value Being Returned

Nov 18, 2013

I am working on my final project for my class and after finally getting it to compile with no errors to finding examples/tutorials and following skeleton code I cam encountering a problem.

The program runs, asks all the correct questions but when it displays the base pay and total pay for all 3 employees it comes back as ( -1.0743 blah blah )

When they work over 40 hours it works correctly but when they work under 40 hours it displays those weird numbers in those sections.

C++ :: Why Can't Void Be Returned

Apr 22, 2012

Why is it not okay to return void? Most compilers will probably let you (gcc does) but it gives you a warning that you aren't supposed to. Most languages allow you to return void.

Something like

Code:
void log(const std::string & txt){ std::cout << txt << std::endl; }
//C++ way to do it
void bar(int i){

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++ :: Indices Returned In Bsearch

Jul 14, 2014

I have some struct which contains: void *elems (basically a pointer to an array of contiguous memory).

I want to use bsearch to return a pointer, and then somehow figure out where in the array that value is. Having a pointer in this case isn't enough, I need to know what the index is. I've tried a number of things:

int index;
void *value = bsearch(key, start_ptr, cv->count, cv->elemsz, cmp);
index = &value - &start_ptr;
return index; [
Replacing the second line with:

// in the first instance
index = (char*) value - (char*) start_ptr;

// in other instances...
index = ((char*) value - start_ptr))/cv->elemsz)

But nothing works.

C :: How To Save Returned Of Unknown Length

Sep 15, 2014

I call a function that returns a string, and I can print it out fine, but I want to test the result of the function to see if it returns 0. But I can't just call the function again (GetNextToken(b)) because it will generate a different token. I can't allocate space for the string because I'm not sure what the size of the returned string is going to be.

Basically I want to see if the GetNextToken(b) returns 0, and if it doesn't then print the string. And running GetNextToken(b) again will give a different result.

Code:
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
SomeStruct* b = CreateStruct(argv[1],argv[2]);
printf("HERE %s", GetNextToken(b));
