[Processing] += operator, function equivalent?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on transforming the expression x += (100 - x) * 0.01 into a function suitable for graphing. The key insight is the introduction of a second parameter, time (t), which is essential for generating a 2D graph. The iterative update of both time and the variable x is highlighted, demonstrating how to effectively model the behavior of the expression over time.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic programming concepts, particularly in Python or JavaScript.
  • Familiarity with graphing functions and plotting libraries such as Matplotlib or D3.js.
  • Knowledge of iterative algorithms and how to implement them in code.
  • Basic understanding of mathematical expressions and their graphical representations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to implement time-based functions in Python using Matplotlib.
  • Learn about creating interactive graphs with D3.js for real-time data visualization.
  • Explore numerical methods for solving iterative equations in programming.
  • Study the concept of differential equations and their graphical interpretations.
USEFUL FOR

Software developers, data scientists, and anyone interested in mathematical modeling and graphing dynamic systems.

Hi, I was curious how I could turn any expression that looks like:

x += (100- x) * 0.01;

into a function that could be graphed.

You need a second parameter, perhaps time (t) in order to generate a 2d graph.

t = ...
x = ...

...

t += delta_t;
x += (100- x) * 0.01;
 
Ah, of course...thanks.
