Math.ceil() is the correct function to call. I’m guessing a is an int, which would make a / 100 perform integer arithmetic. Try Math.ceil(a / 100.0) instead. int a = 142; System.out.println(a / 100); System.out.println(Math.ceil(a / 100)); System.out.println(a / 100.0); System.out.println(Math.ceil(a / 100.0)); System.out.println((int) Math.ceil(a / 100.0)); Outputs: 1 1.0 1.42 2.0 2 See http://ideone.com/yhT0l
radians = degrees * (pi/180) degrees = radians * (180/pi) As for implementation, the main question is how precise you want to be about the value of pi. There is some related discussion here
This will do the work: function round5(x) { return Math.ceil(x/5)*5; } It’s just a variation of the common rounding number to nearest multiple of x function Math.round(number/x)*x, but using .ceil instead of .round makes it always round up instead of down/up according to mathematical rules.
You can compute the LCM of more than two numbers by iteratively computing the LCM of two numbers, i.e. lcm(a,b,c) = lcm(a,lcm(b,c))
The Fibonacci sphere algorithm is great for this. It is fast and gives results that at a glance will easily fool the human eye. You can see an example done with processing which will show the result over time as points are added. Here’s another great interactive example made by @gman. And here’s a simple … Read more
First, compute the center point. Then sort the points using whatever sorting algorithm you like, but use special comparison routine to determine whether one point is less than the other. You can check whether one point (a) is to the left or to the right of the other (b) in relation to the center by … Read more
pow() in the cmath library. More info here. Don’t forget to put #include<cmath> at the top of the file.
The problem here is that in Python the % operator returns the modulus and in Java it returns the remainder. These functions give the same values for positive arguments, but the modulus always returns positive results for negative input, whereas the remainder may give negative results. There’s some more information about it in this question. … Read more
Thanks! Here is a C# version of OP’s solutions using degrees. It utilises the System.Device.Location.GeoCoordinate class public static GeoCoordinate GetCentralGeoCoordinate( IList<GeoCoordinate> geoCoordinates) { if (geoCoordinates.Count == 1) { return geoCoordinates.Single(); } double x = 0; double y = 0; double z = 0; foreach (var geoCoordinate in geoCoordinates) { var latitude = geoCoordinate.Latitude * Math.PI … Read more
The purpose of the activation function is to introduce non-linearity into the network in turn, this allows you to model a response variable (aka target variable, class label, or score) that varies non-linearly with its explanatory variables non-linear means that the output cannot be reproduced from a linear combination of the inputs (which is not … Read more
