Anyone done the Messi challenge on FIFA 12?

Attempted yesterday on Legendary only managed 2 goals.

C++, and I have to write a code to compute the sine curve manually, and another to calculate the roots of a parabola and the max/min point.

Bashar Al-Assad's wife doesn't look Syrian at all...

I don't think there is such a thing as looking like a Nationality, Ahly.

What does a US American look like? Minus the 300+ pounds of course.

Shut up, you know what I mean. Arab.

The last two seem simple enough, but I'm curious about the first one. You're supposed to replicate the entire sin curve from negative infinity to positive infinity, or just the most prominent values from -2pi to 2pi?

You should say that then. Even so I googled Syrian people and there quite a few White people.

I'm not really sure how to explain the sine one since I used someone's code to graph the curve in the way they want it ( a quarter revolution, basically 0 to 90 degrees). Most people used the sin function so the purpose of this lab was to program it yourself. They gave you a formula though for how to approximate sine. I got it working almost perfectly, just the last line of code doesn't print for some reason.

You're right the other one is easy, I'm just stuck on programming it to loop per the users direction since I'm not quite sure how to use string to check the boolean value on whether to repeat the do-while loop.

Are you asking the user to answer yes or no? If so, then:

while(ans=='yes')

should work. Assuming the variable you used to store the user's input is called ans, of course.

@Che: Did you ever complete the challenge with Roma? Managed to get it after about 11 tries.

Yeah, after like 20 tries. After a header and then a golaço from Fábio Simplício, but if it wasn't for that I'd never beat it.

That show looks dumb, but I've heard it's actually somewhat witty.

Although I don't value your opinion that highly, what do you think of it?

My friend is suing Bill Gates for use of his work.

Already got compensation from the BBC a while ago when they did the same thing.

What kind of work does he do?

Best American TV show around.

ok, I used that to get it to loop, but I want to validate the input. That's why I was having difficulties, I used two do while loops, and I got stuck in one of the trying to validate the input.

Graphics, mainly planet designs but many other 3D works as well. His work has been used on various speeches Bill Gates has made and on various articles.

You see these kind of things happen, graphic designers who have just graduated stealing other people's works and passing it off as their own. Not Bill Gates fault but he's still accountable.

What the fudge, as soon as I add another do while loop to validate the input the program just gets stuck.

cout<< "Do you want to enter another quadratic function? (y/n):";
do{
cin >>repeat;
}while (repeat !='y' || repeat !='Y' || repeat !='N' || repeat !='n');

I enter y, Y, n, or N and the program does nothing

All this intelligent discussion here is going to send me to a life of crime. Depressing that I know fuck all what you guys are talking about.

Programming isn't particularly intelligent, it's just giving the computer a precise set of instructions.

How much money does he hope to make?

You told it to repeat if the user doesn't enter y/Y/n/N. But it has to be one of those four values. It's like telling a person to read a page in front of him only if his eyes are closed and not closed at the same time.

Take out the n and N conditions. That way the loop will end when it detects that the user didn't enter y/Y.

It's not dumb. It's the best show on TV. But it's not for everyone. It's full of references.

LOOOOOOOOOOOL. I make that mistake quite often.

Anyways, I need it to be like that that's the validation loop, I have another for checking if the whole program will repeat.

I keep looking at that gif and can't help but wonder if she got hit by the car.

Wait what you said doesn't make sense, I want the loop to repeat if the input isn't y or n. Plus I modified it to what you suggested and it's still stuck in the loop.

Ah, C++. I forgot most of it over time. I'm better with Python.

It looks like there is enough space for the car to move along past her.
