hi guys
I'm a final year student, in engineering.
i've just signed up to this forum. Hope all is good. i'd appreciate any help.

I have a piece of matlab code which used to work like last year. but i am having some trouble with it now.

Before i f i entered values for theta0 and thetai. in the figures produced the main beam would move to theta0 value and a null placed for thetai value.

doing this now moves the beam but not to the values i want to.

for instance if i type in theta0=10; and thetai=50; the main beam moves in the negative direction by some other value. plz help me solve this problem. If you copy and paste this in matlab u'll see what i mean.

thanks for n e replies

sorry put this in the wrong thread

I do pologise but i dont know much about MATLAB
i WAS wandering if you could help me tho

i am trying to input and calculate parallel resistance for any given number of resistors and any value of the resistors.
the formula is

1/R= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3.........+!/Rn

Could you tell me how to input this into matlab
could u explain a little on how to do this aswell.

Thank you

Ps it would be very helpful if you know how to input this in c++ aswell. Thank you
