Hi Folks,
I am a college undergrad (microbiology...not cs) in the middle of a research project. There are 3 sets of numbers I am looking at, and I want to run a rather complex analysis of them. I took a couple years of C++ in high school, so I am under the impression that a program can be coded to do what I want done, but alas, I don't know enough C++ to do it. Does anyone have thoughts on how to code this?...
I have 3 sets of numbers:
x (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...)
y (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26...)
z (14, 15, 16, 17, 18...)
I want to determine if any average of any of the numbers in sets x and y equals (or is very close to) one of the numbers in z. The trick is, the average could be 1 number from each set, 2 numbers from 1 set and 1 number from the other, etc. When averaging 2 or more numbers from each set, the numbers dont have to be consequtive. So I pretty much want to test every possibility. Tough, huh? It doesn't have to be pretty or fast, just work. Anyone know how to do this? THanks so much for your time.
