Every spring the smell of delicious, spicy chili fills the air, and you get to taste all the entries at Tusculum University. In previous years, voting was done by filling out a piece of paper, and counting the entries by hand. This was a tedious and labor intensive process. So last year, I helped to…
Performing Math in Go is like many other programing languages in many ways. Of course, the standard mathematical symbols apply: Operator Description + Addition – Subtraction * Multiplication / Quotient % Remainder & Bitwise AND | Bitwise OR ^ Bitwise XOR &^ Bit clear (AND NOT) << Left shift >> Right shift (logical) The Math…
A common question I get is why is there all this math in Computer Science, and what happens if I’m not great at it? So some of the math is because a lot of early Computer Science work was done by applied mathematicians. However, that’s not the only reason for the math courses. Math helps…
C++ provides many useful math function inside the cmath header. As with Python, in C/C++, a function is a collection of statements which can perform a task with a single call, instead of having to write them all out. We’ll look at how to create our own functions later on. Trigonometric Functions Function Description sin(radians)…
C++ gives you a lot of ways to do math, built into the language directly. Unfortunately, it can get complex – so we’re going to focus on the simple stuff. The order of operation in C++ is the same as in algebra, so that is easy to remember. + is addition – is subtraction *…
