Hello, I've been learning C# for a few months now and still learning, I come from a PHP background where declaring the variable types is not involved.
I would like to do this simple math problem in C#, is there anyone who can help me?
Number A: Is a monetary value with dollars and cents (eg 199.95)
Number B: Is a numerical percentage value (eg 90%) without the percent sign
My code here returns $17995.50 when the answer I am looking for is $179.95 -
-
decimal DollarAmt = 199.95;
-
int PercentAmt = 90;
-
-
decimal result = DollarAmt * PercentAmt ;
-
-
//returns bad result of 17995.50 - help!
-
Response.Write(result);
4 922
hey
firstly, you should post this in C# section and not in C/C++ section
now, when you look at 90%, you realize that it is 90 of 100 or 90/100.
c# doesnt know that, so you need to divide 'PercentAmt' by 100 by
also, since you are doing this for the web, i recommend using 'float' or 'double' instead of 'decimal' as they take less memory.
float - 32 bit
double - 64 bit
decimal - 128 bit
ok, thanks, I didn't see the C# section before,.... that was helpful and got me one step closer, so when I do this I get a long string past the decimal, is there a round() function that will round it up to the nearest cent? (see my code results) -
float per = 90;
-
float conv_per = p / 100;
-
-
double dol = 199.95;
-
-
double a = conv_p * dol;
-
-
// Returns 179.95499523282
-
Response.Write(a);
ah I found this,
works! thanks for the help.

While googling for a non-linear equation solver, I found
Math::Polynomial::Solve in CPAN. It seems a great little module, except
it's not Python... I'm especially looking for its poly_root()
functionality (which solves arbitrary polynomials). Does anyone know of
a Python module/package that implements that?

When the code runs, it evaluates to true incorrectly. When I put this exact

Hi all!
The following piece of code has (for me) completely unexpected behaviour.
(I compile it with gcc-Version 4.0.3)
Something goes wrong with the integer to float conversion.
Maybe somebody out there understands what happens.
Essentially, when I subtract the (double) function value GRID_POINT(2) from
a variable which has been assigned the same value before this gives a
non-zero result and I really do not understand why.

Please, please, please make suggestions on how to resolve these errors.
I am trying to build a program that computes a, b, c for the quadratic equation but I'm not having any luck. It's been 5 hours and I've only manage to clear 4 of my errors.
Please note the primary focus is to use function calls. The main function needs to pass the coefficients to a function root1 that computes and returns the value of x1 to the main. I am trying to do...

I'm new to C++ and need to write a program that reads and calculates math equations from a char string. My question: is there a way to convert a char math symbol such as '+' into a + the compiler can use in an equation?
Right now I'm using a bunch of If statements to handle this, but would like to know if there's a way to work the char sign directly into the equation.
i.e.
char num1 = '5';
char sign = '+';
char num2 = '2';

I want to take a math equation in a string format then translate this into code.
For example;
sin(x+2)^4 would translate into: std::pow(4, std::sin(x+2))
but I'm not sure where to start, at first I decided to follow the order of operations, breaking down the equation and putting it into an array this gave me two problems
a) Do I remove the selection from the string as I add it to the array?
b) I wouldn't know where to go from there.
