This assignment was fairly simple. It only required minor adjustments form the code given in the tutorial. I used many of the same commands that made the final result in the serial monitor visually appealing. This is my modified code: #include "math.h" //includes the math library /* sets up the variables for the problem. "a" and "b" are the legs. "c" is the hypoteneuse. we will be solving for "a". */ int a; int b = 4; int c = 5; void setup() //run once, when the sketch starts { Serial.begin(9600); //sets up the Serial Library at 9600 bps /* All of the "Serial.print" or "Serial.println" commands have tell the Arduino to write the phrase in phrase in quotes following the command in the serial monitor */ Serial.println("Let's calculate a leg!"); Serial.print ("b = "); Serial.println(b); Serial.print("c = "); Serial.println(c); a = sqrt(c*c - b*b); //tells the Arduino to solve for the missing leg Serial.print("a = "); Serial.println(a); } void loop() // does nothing, but still neccessary { } |
