Hi Mark,
Again, congratulations for completing challenge2 and thanks for sharing in
your approach using PointPlotter in C++ code just to get practise in
Classes. The attachments are impressive.
Along the same lines, I’m using both *C programming* (in a tiny $6.00
development board) and *Pascal*, the programming language of Delphi, to
solve challenges before posting. This has helped in getting the cobwebs
out and in learning something new. So, from that perspective one of the
objectives of proposing “challenges” has been achieved.
George, thanks for your comment. I tend to agree with you that Challenge 2
gives the impression (possible poor presentation) that it involves CNC. In
reality CNC is not required to solve Challenge 2. It’s all beautiful
coding. However, for output #10/11 it does require solving a “quadratic
equation” which may bring fond memories of grade 11 math or maybe not. In
programming it’s difficult to avoid using mathematics to solve real
problems. Look at Deid’s ultrasonic project. Part of his project required
the measurement of time of a reflected sound wave to reach the point of
origin. An equation relating time to the speed of sound at room temperature.
For those of you who are stuck on output#10, see attachment. If you are
edging in getting started, the coding for challenge 2 will flow more
quickly than it did in challenge 1. Straight few lines of code for most of
the outputs.
Happy Coding,
Jim
