The requirement for this project is
1)double calculate_deviation (double number, double mean) - Determines the deviation of number from the mean and returns the result. The deviation may be calculated as number - mean.

2)double calculate_variance (double deviation1, double deviation2, double deviation3, double deviation4, double deviation5, int number) - Determines the variance through the calculation: ((deviation1)^2 + (deviation2)^2 + (deviation3)^2 + (deviation4)^2 + (deviation5)^2) / number

3)double calculate_standard_deviation (double variance) - Calculates the standard deviation as sqrt (variance) and returns the result

Talking about your compute_deviation_gpa function, you can't return multiple values like this. Consider passing an array to the function in order to save the values for later use.

**brianjoo** · 09-24-2017

I have not learned about array; however, your answer has helped me. I can not believe i forgot about that. Thank you very much.

this 0 thing look at your second function and third function.

2nd function

Code:

 double variance = 0.0;
return variance;

a bunch of math between the two but no assigning the results to it,
3rd function

Code:

double compute_standard_deviation(double variance) {
    double standard_d = 0.0;
    standard_d = sqrt(variance);
    return standard_d;

variance is set to 0.0 how are you getting it into that third function to work on it? I do not see it declared anywhere in your main.

**jimblumberg** · 09-24-2017

you got a be the judge on the math part.

Okay I will question your "math". In the compute_deviation_gpa() function you show that on entry to the function gpa1 is equal to 5.30 and gpa_mean is 5.00. Yet you report that on leaving the function gpa1 will be equal to 5.00. This "math" doesn't add up since the "math" should be 5.30 - 5.00 which should be .30 not 5.00.

Can you explain why your modifications are reporting false values?

Jim

**~~userxbw~~** · 09-24-2017

if you are taling to me and not the OP , I did not mess with his math, I just modied it to return through the pharm as he had it written to return each one seperatly.

to help you not have to go look at the first post.

is not this what he wrote:
finction 1:

Code:

  deviation_gpa1 = gpa1 - gpa_mean;    deviation_gpa2 = gpa2 - gpa_mean;
    deviation_gpa3 = gpa3 - gpa_mean;
    deviation_gpa4 = gpa4 - gpa_mean;
    deviation_gpa5 = gpa5 - gpa_mean;

the same as this?

Code:

    *gpa1 = gpa1 - gpa_mean;
    *gpa2 = gpa2 - gpa_mean;
    *gpa3 = gpa3 - gpa_mean;
    *gpa4 = gpa4 - gpa_mean;
    *gpa5 = gpa5 - gpa_mean;

it just reassigns the value in the same var.

I changed this in function2:
keeping in mind he did not assign the results of this to anything so he was getting zero

Code:

 ((deviation_gpa1*deviation_gpa1) + (deviation_gpa2*deviation_gpa2) + (deviation_gpa3*deviation_gpa3) + (deviation_gpa4*deviation_gpa4) + (deviation_gpa5*deviation_gpa5) / number);

to this
[code]
return ((deviation_gpa1*deviation_gpa1) + (deviation_gpa2*deviation_gpa2) + (deviation_gpa3*deviation_gpa3) + (deviation_gpa4*deviation_gpa4) + (deviation_gpa5*deviation_gpa5) / number);

I didn;t change anything, just had that math done in the return.

function3
I did the same,

Code:

double standard_d = 0.0;    standard_d = sqrt(variance);
    return standard_d;

to this

Code:

return ( sqrt(variance) );

so I did not set up the math I just fixed it to return the results his math equations.

then later I looked into what math.h may have to do some of it too. pow(x,y);
I just shortened the var names so it is not so long making it eaier to fit on one line.

Code:

return (  (pow(d_gpa1, 2)  ) + ( pow(d_gpa2, 2) ) + ( pow(d_gpa3, 2) ) + ( pow(d_gpa4, 2) ) + ( pow(d_gpa5, 2) ) /  5);

again I am not doing the equations nor the math that is done by the PC.

Can you explain why your modifications are reporting false values?

Jim

that is a good question I put printf i the function doing showing this

Code:

**/
    printf("values being reasinged to var\n");
    printf(" gpa1 %lf\n", *(double*)gpa1);
    printf("gpa-mean %lf\n", *(double*)gpa_mean);
    printf("  *gpa1 = gpa1 - gpa_mean --> %lf\n",  ( *(double*)gpa1 = gpa1 - gpa_mean) );

Code:

this
deviation_gpa1 = gpa1 - gpa_mean;
should be the same as this
 *gpa1 = gpa1 - gpa_mean;
yes?

results

Code:

values being reasinged to var
 gpa1 5.300000
gpa-mean 5.000000
  *gpa1 = gpa1 - gpa_mean --> 5.000000

I did not mess with the equations.

I did not mess with the equations.

That's good because it's not the equations that are the problem.

Look at this snippet

Code:

 printf(" gpa1 %lf\n", *(double*)gpa1);

This is small part of your problem. Can you explain the purpose of the cast?
