Numeric variables store numbers for doing mathematics, counting etc..
They can be compared with memcmp, but you should be careful if your structures contain:- pointers- alignment gaps- numeric variables (byte order!)- nested structures/unions
If they are instance variables the default initial value is 0. If they are method local variables, they are null and must be initialized to some value before they are used
An abstract equation is an equation where it is impossible, with the information given, to find the numeric values of the variables. For example 2X=4Y can be reduced to X=2Y or Y=X/2 or 2=X/Y but you cannot find the numeric values of X or Y.
IF WS-AGE NUMERIC DISPLAY "NUMERIC" ELSE DISPLAY "NOT NUMERIC' END-IF
* arithmetic expressions are evaluated from left to right using the rules of precedence.. * when parentheses are used,the expressions within parentheses assume highest priority... * if parentheses are nested, the evaluation begins with the inner most parentheses... * the associativity rules are applied when 2 or more operators of same precedence level appear in a sub expression
Numeric constants have the capacity to store numeric value.
the coefficient
A numeric constraint deals with distances and size. Width, length, and depth are examples of these.
An organized list of instructions that, when executed, causes the computer to behave in a predetermined manner. Without programs, computers are useless.A program is like a recipe. It contains a list of ingredients (called variables) and a list of directions (called statements) that tell the computer what to do with the variables. The variables can represent numeric data, text, or graphical images.
A redundancy. Numbers are numeric by definition.
Since social security numbers have numeric values, a social security number is an example of a qualitative variable.
A quantitative variable is numeric and therefore can be counted discretely or continuously. The other side of the spectrum is qualitative variables.
Numeric variables store numbers for doing mathematics, counting etc.. String variables store printable sets of characters that can be read by humans in what ever language. int i=3; /* a numeric variable in c */ char *hello = "Hello world, Im 3 years old" /* string that contains a number */ Computer languages generally provide many different ways to transform one into the other.
They can be compared with memcmp, but you should be careful if your structures contain:- pointers- alignment gaps- numeric variables (byte order!)- nested structures/unions
A controlled variables are what stayed the same and is compared to other variables
The definition of a variable is to change or changeable. All variables hold this quality.
If they are instance variables the default initial value is 0. If they are method local variables, they are null and must be initialized to some value before they are used
