6.1 How to store 300 values in your program?

0 comments

Edited: Sep 1

A. Introduction

Suppose you are in a large high school and there are 300 students in your class. Even though each of you know your own height, the school administration wants to know the average height of this class and the tallest student.

 

Similarly, sometimes you might want to find out the average price of all 5-seat SUVs, as well as the most expensive or inexpensive one etc.

 

This type of problems involves handling a relatively large amount of values in your program. You can not create individual variables to store them. What to do?

 

B. Watch how to create an array ... ( Slides )

 

 

 

C. Now, please try the following in your IDE and save your project for the following sessions.

 

  1. Create a double array of 300 elements, name it height.

  2. Is there another way to declare an array? If you print out height[0], what value will be printed? what value is height[2] or height[299]? height[300] ? Try to print all of these and explain why you get what you see.

 

D. See if you can beat everyone else in this Kahoot! Or see if how many mistakes you can spot in these slides.

 

E. Feel free to post questions below.

    5.12 Project P6.1 - Is this credit card number valid?

    A. Introduction A valid credit card number will yield a result divisible by 10 when you: Form the sum of all digits. Add to that sum every second digit, starting with the second digit from the right. Then add the number of digits in the second step that are greater than four. The result should be divisible by 10. For example, consider the number 4 0 1 2 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 1 8 8 1. The sum of all digits is 89. The sum of the bold digits is 46. There are five bold digits larger than four, so the result is 89+46+5=140. 140 is divisible by 10 so the card number is valid. B. Write your code to check if a credit card number is valid or not according to the rules above. You need to verify if the input is a 12-digit number.

    5.12.2 Project P6.7 - How far can a drunkard move?

    A Introduction A drunkard in a grid of streets randomly picks one of four directions and stumbles to the next intersection, then again randomly picks one of four directions, and so on. You might think that on average the drunkard doesn’t move very far because the choices cancel each other out, but that is not the case. B Your task: Represent locations as integer pairs (x, y). Implement the drunkard’s walk over 100 intersections, starting at (0, 0), and print the ending location.
