Hey, i'm sort of new to coding and have been reading through lots of different types of physics related programs that solve certain problems.
In this one program (3 body problem), there are 6 inputs that are scanned (mass, velocity and position of the 2 bodies) and these inputs are computed to arrive at values for x, y and time for the third body. There is a working code that for of extremely small time steps, i.e over 5000 iterations, it produces values for x and y positions of the third body.
I believe this info is sent to an output file since there is a:
FILE* output=fopen("results.out", "w");
I want to play around with the code, insert different values for mass and velocity of the two bodies, but I don't know how to view the results? Im guessing I need to create a results.out file somewhere, but how do I go about doing this?
Do I need to assign memory to the results and then forward that to the output file somehow? Here is the code here if you need to look at it for more guidance:
3body.c
I have a compiler and what not, I'm just unsure how i can get these results out is all. Quick bit of help would be great thanks.
