Solving a quadratic equation
I have the following written down so far. I am not sure on how to introduce the second method
public static void main(string args[]){
}
public static double quadraticEquationRoot1(int a, int b, int c) (){
}
if(Math.sqrt(Math.pow(b, 2) - 4*a*c) == 0)
{
return -b/(2*a);
} else {
int root1, root2;
root1 = (-b + Math.sqrt(Math.pow(b, 2) - 4*a*c)) / (2*a);
root2 = (-b - Math.sqrt(Math.pow(b, 2) - 4*a*c)) / (2*a);
return Math.max(root1, root2);
}
}
解决方案
Firstly, your code won't compile--you have an extra } after the start of public static double quadraticEquationRoot1(int a, int b, int c) ().
Secondly, you aren't looking for the correct input types. If you want input of type double, make sure you declare the method appropriately. Also be careful of declaring things as int when they could be doubles (for example, root1 and root2).
Thirdly, I don't know why you have the if/else block--it would be better to simply skip it, and only use the code that is currently in the else part.
Finally, to address your original question: Simply create a separate method and use Math.min() instead of Math.max().
So, to recap in code:
public static void main(string args[]){
}
//Note that the inputs are now declared as doubles.
public static double quadraticEquationRoot1(double a, double b, double c) (){
double root1, root2; //This is now a double, too.
root1 = (-b + Math.sqrt(Math.pow(b, 2) - 4*a*c)) / (2*a);
root2 = (-b - Math.sqrt(Math.pow(b, 2) - 4*a*c)) / (2*a);
return Math.max(root1, root2);
}
public static double quadraticEquationRoot2(double a, double b, double c) (){
//Basically the same as the other method, but use Math.min() instead!
}
