Re: introductory c problem 12 Years Ago by terence193 Thanks @Narue , most introductory problems solved. The reason is that I just started learning … Re: Introductory Math Book for Computer Science 14 Years Ago by darkagn The best text book I used in my Mathematics and CS degree was "Linear Algebra and its Applications" by David C Lay, Published by Addison-Wesley. We used it in three of the five mathematics courses I did (including Discrete Math), and can thoroughly recommend it. I hadn't studied anything for 10 years before I decided to go back to … Re: Introductory Math Book for Computer Science 14 Years Ago by Rashakil Fol I can agree that any book by Strang is good, but I don't think a linear algebra book is the right choice. I say this because I actually had one before going to college -- it was similar in scope to your recommendation, and it didn't serve me very well.

I'd also like to apologize for my late response but I like to wait until my forum posts have had time to stew. As for the topic of preparing for university level maths, I've spoken with a few of my tutors and, most of them, gave me a similar explanation to that of your own, Fol, although in much … Re: Introductory Math Book for Computer Science 14 Years Ago by JanJozef Thanks for this interesting information Re: Introductory Math Book for Computer Science 14 Years Ago by wellibedamned i heared concrete mathematics by knuth is good too Re: Introductory Math Book for Computer Science 13 Years Ago by cinneran Hey all, I am so happy that I stumbled upon this thread. I am also very much interested in programming. But I am not so good at Math. Now I am trying to learn some really useful tips so that I can actually improve my programming skills as well. I found that all the books mentioned over here are really very good. I just love programming and would … Re: Introductory Math Book for Computer Science 12 Years Ago by Chrishas Hi, does it matter which edition of the books is used? For example Linear Algebra and its applications has a 1988 and the next one I found is a 2004 edition.

Cheers for the reply. introductory c problem 12 Years Ago by terence193 The problem ''Ask the user to enter a year and store it in an int. Then assign to a _Bool variable the value true if the year is a leap year. The leap year is any year whose number is a multiple of four. Take into account that years whose numbers are multiples of 100, except of 400, are NOT leap years. Thus 2000 was a leap year, but 1700, 1800,… Re: introductory c problem 12 Years Ago by Narue [QUOTE]what is a _Bool variable?[/QUOTE] A variable of [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_data_type"]boolean type[/URL]. The keyword for a boolean type in C is _Bool. It holds only two values: 0 or 1, which correspond to false and true, respectively. C also provides a header called <stdbool.h> that defines more convenient … Re: introductory c problem 12 Years Ago by terence193 how is the boolean condition written though? The logic is that the year is either divisible by both 100 and 4 , OR its only divisible by 4 not by hundred Re: introductory c problem 12 Years Ago by Narue [QUOTE]how is the boolean condition written though?[/QUOTE] Read the chapter again.

Re: introductory c problem 12 Years Ago by terence193 Oh , well i arranged that and added a getchar (); after the printf of each statement.. eg: [CODE]if (decision==1) { printf("The addition of the 2numbers is %d \n",add); getchar (); }[/CODE] Is there any other reason why the output isn't well? I know I havent written an [CODE]else[/CODE] command but I dont think it is really necessary. Re: introductory c problem 12 Years Ago by Narue [QUOTE][CODE]scanf("%d\n",&decision);[/CODE][/QUOTE] scanf() is not printf(). Remove the newline from that format string because it doesn't do what you think it does. Re: introductory c problem 12 Years Ago by terence193 thanks @narue. I modified the program to this and it worked well.
