So either way you exit at the end of the loop if grade becomes -1 during the loop. If you did not have that if, the program would next go back to the top of the loop and then if grade were equal to -1 it would exit. It will continue looping until something else happens to stop the program from running,īecause grade is never getting changed within the loop.Įvery time you come to the top of the loop, grade is still equal to the first number you entered.īy the way, the if with the break at the end of the loop is completely redundant. It's busy doing what you told it to do, which is to keep looping while You can type all the numbers you want after the first one. And there is no other line of the program that takes any input from cin. Notice that I never go back to any line earlier than the while loop. So then I read a number from the input and set grade to that number. so far i have tried the following command: sort firm year. Afterwards I have to take an average of 3 years for each firm (e.g Firm 1, I need to obtain the Average Std for year 2005-2008,2006-2009 and so on).
If I follow your program, after a few lines I get to the statement cin > grade I have to calculate the standard deviation for each year and for each firm. I find a good way to debug a program is often to pretend that I am the computer, and try stepping through the program one line at a time to see what I do. #include ĭouble std = (sumSq - numtests*pow(average,2)/(numtests - 1)) Ĭout << "The number of scores: "< In the terminal, I'm getting wrong numbers for the average and Std. Now the code below is what I have so far. Method is used since it only requires one pass of the data. Thus, the investor now knows that the returns of his portfolio fluctuate by approximately 10 month-over-month. Next, we can input the numbers into the formula as follows: The standard deviation of returns is 10.34. Note: Although there are other ways to calculate the standard deviation, please use this method. The first step is to calculate Ravg, which is the arithmetic mean: The arithmetic mean of returns is 5.5. Of squares as you process the input values. You can compute this quantity by keeping track of the count (number of tests), the sum, and the sum (Welford’s method) to calculate the standard deviation: Tests entered, the average of the tests, and the standard deviation. Once the user hasįinished entering the test scores (entering -1 will signal the end of input), print out the number of Scores should be entered in decimal form to represent the percentage grade). Write a program that reads in a set of test score data from the user. I have this assignment in which i will show the prompt for it:
