Question

I am looping through a function that looks like this:

Y=exp(-0.04*(x-13.25)^(2))*300

Let’s say I want to get Yfor every value of x between 3.3454 and 20.3458 for every 0.1 interval

I would do this:

for (float i=3.3454;i<20.3458;i=+.1)

Is this the correct way to do this?

Answer 1

Your syntax is slightly off, and some of the math functions you want to use will only work on doubles.

double y;
for(double x=3.3454; x<20.3458; x += .1) {
    y = Math.Exp(-0.04D * Math.Pow((x- 13.25D), 2D)) * 300;
    // do something with y
}
