    Solving a Programming Problem: Design & Build a Program

    Got it. Just include <time.h> and srand((unsigned)time( NULL )); Thanks for the help with the program. :approve:

    Solving a Programming Problem: Design & Build a Program

    Awesome, I got it. I guess that I just wasn't understanding the whole pointer concept fully. It seems that I need a new seed though in order to constantly get random numbers.

    Solving a Programming Problem: Design & Build a Program

    How do I get those values to stay in the main function after I set them down in the subfunctions? When I compile it tells me that it used all the variables with them still being uninitialized.

    Solving a Programming Problem: Design & Build a Program

    So do I need to then initialize them? I thought that I could pass them uninitialized and have them become initialized in the subfunctions. :frown:

    Solving a Programming Problem: Design & Build a Program

    The problem is as follows: Design and build a program that does the following: a. Declare a 100-element array that will hold float values. b. In a subprogram set each element of the array to a random float value from 1 to 10; i. Use the rand () function and the stdlib.h include file; c...

    What is the probability of choosing at least one defective calculator?

    Actually, come to think of it... Those are supposed to be multiplied, not added, correct? If so and using those numbers, the probability is 0.21 and the compliment, that is, the chance of at least one calculator being defective is 0.79. That'd just be an extended multiplication rule...

    What is the probability of choosing at least one defective calculator?

    Huhmm. P(None are defective) = 33/48 + 32/47 + 31/46 + 30/45 P(Atleast one is defective) = 1 - (that sum) I know that the compliment is right, but is the calculation of the P(None are defective) correct? Edit: Mm.. no that can't be right. It comes out to greater than 1...

    What is the probability of choosing at least one defective calculator?

    Hey... Well, I've got this problem which just is confusing me greatly. "A sample of 4 different calculators is randomly selected from a group containing 15 that are defective and 33 that have no defects. What is the probability that at leastone of the calculators is defective?" Now...

    Schools Experiences at UK Universities - Sheffield & St. Andrews

    Do any of you have experience with UK Universities? I'm looking particularly at Sheffield and St. Andrews. If so, what did you think about the school and the community? My interests are in Finance, Chemistry and Math. Thank you for any insight into these schools and surrounding areas...

    Career Options in Economics/Finance: Salary Expectations

    Hm. There are tons of fields that you could go into with those majors... Most times, however, unless you have done something exceptional you will probably be placed doing grunt work for a year or two. If you went to some investment firm, you'd probably be doing research until they deem you...

    Schools A question about Canadian Universities

    It's true that I might not get all the credits, but you can doubt all you want - it really does not matter to me. That is not what I am here to discuss.

    Schools A question about Canadian Universities

    Erm. I am well aware that it McGill better than any community college. I am only at one because of financial reasons. I basically spent my college money by going to a high school abroad for two years. I was accepted into a bunch of good universities, but I decided to go to a community...

    Schools A question about Canadian Universities

    Hello, I am currently enrolled in a community college, however I plan to transfer at the end of this year. I've been looking mostly at schools in the states, but would be very interested in going to McGill in Montreal. One concern that my educational consultant had expressed was that a...

    Why does oxidization occur in certain substances?

    All right. Well, I just would like a clarification about Oxidization. I already know that it is the gain of charge in a redox reaction, however, I have heard it used elsewhere too. Oxidized metal, for instance. I know that this is metal that has been exposed to oxygen and has thusly...
