Java Defining variables in the context of implicit functions in java

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of defining a variable within an implicit function in Java, specifically seeking to solve for a variable (px) in an equation. The original poster expresses difficulty rearranging the equation to isolate px and is looking for a way to input the function directly for Java to compute the missing value. A participant mentions a tool called TK Solver, which allows users to input all but one variable and receive the solution, suggesting it as a potential solution for similar problems. The conversation highlights the need for effective methods to handle implicit functions in programming and the usefulness of approximation in finding solutions.

Sorry for the disturbance,

So I have been looking (without success) for a way to define a variable within an implicit function in Java. What I really mean by this is I have the equation:

In this function my program will give me all of the values except for px. I have tried rearranging the function in terms of px unsuccessfully (I'm not even sure if this is possible). Either way, it would be much easier for me to simply type in the function as it is and have Java figure out what the value of the variable I am looking for is. I was wondering if anyone knew how to do that.

Thanks for reading,

Seems solvable (java reference ) .

I used this cool tool a while back called TK Solver. You give it everything but 1 variable and it returned that answer magically http://www.uts.com/ItemDetails.asp?ItemID=0100-50-0010-00.

I found a way around the issue since I'm allowed to approximate. The software you mentioned is definitely interesting and I think I will take a look at it as I begin my next project. Thanks!
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
