Hey. Is there anyone who can give me some help?
Below is the question I was set.
This sounds like a homework assignment. We don't write programs for
assignments. We offer help after you give it your best effort.
I am having trouble with the gaussian function and don't really know where
to start.
It sounds like you are having trouble with programming, not with the
gaussian function. Did you run the following code? Did it give you any
useful results? (I expect it to raise an exception.) At least run it and
see what happens. How does it contribute to the overall result?
s=''
for n in range (0,100):
s=s+ '*'
print s
Can you at least outline the program or algorithm as a starting place.
"Write a program which asks the user for values
of xmin, dx and nx. The program should then
output a plot of the gaussian function
at the following series of values of x:
xmin, xmin+dx, xmin+2*dx, xmin+3*dx, : : :,
xmin+(nx-1)*dx. e.g. the following output
should result if xmin = 2:5, dx = 0:5 and
nx = 11.
-2.50 *
-2.00 ***
-1.50 ******
-1.00 ************
-0.50 ******************
0.00 ********************
0.50 ******************
1.00 ************
1.50 ******
2.00 ***
2.50 *
The program should contain and make full use
of the following functions:
gauss(x) - Returns the value of the Gaussian
function
line(n) - Prints a line of n asterisks followed
by a newline character.
You will need to choose a scale for your plot;
in the example shown the number of asterisks
is 50 * gauss(x).
Should I start with a program like this?
s=''
for n in range (0,100):
s=s+ '*'
print s
Thanks for any help received. :confused:
