3 Programs, 3 Paragraphs

Wait, we have to do this again? Shoot. My code this time around is certainly more simple.

Simplest Version of the Code

My code for this revolution around the sun is based around simple mathematical functions that explore the basic math code in Python. For my first program, I initialize five variables, each of which represent a different math function, ranging from addition to subtraction to an exponential equation. In Python, the asterisk means multiplication, the double asterisk means exponents, and the rest of the signs are relatively straightforward. I then printed each of the variable to prove that the code runs smoothly, and each of the variables produced the desired result.

The Next Simplest Version of the Code

The second part of my code branches off of this idea of initialized variables, in that it takes those variables and simplifies them in such a way that I can more easily create more complex equations from them. Instead of writing out each line of math whenever I need it, I can call from another variable that fits my needs, and use that in the code’s place. Calling for the multiplication of x times b is the same as saying that I need to multiply the results of 4×3, and 2 to the power of 3. I have also found that I can do this for any math equation, substituting these variables in each of the math functions and each time I will receive my desired answer. I have also initialized another variable, which simply is the answer to multiple variables multiplied and divided by each other. Printing this variable will also result in the desired response.

The Most Complexest Version of the Code

The last part of my code takes the simpler code from earlier, and adds a twist to it. For the last piece of code, I can translate each variable into either an integer, or a float. An integer is a number that is not also accompanied by a decimal value, whereas a float is a value that has and uses a decimal value, even if that value is .0. A value can be made into a float or integer during initialization simply by adding or omitting the .x value at the end of the numeric value. One caveat to this: the division math function will automatically make the provided result into a number with a decimal place, making it a float rather than keeping the number an integer, even if it is written that way. In addition to this, a result from a math function with at least one float will cause the provided answer to also be a float, even if one of the numbers in the problem is an integer.
