Looping
around data: Array
- the devise that let us handle with ease a great number of
variables. Choose the shape to fit your engineering problem
( One dimensional, Two dimensional, Three …, Four …).
In this
unit we deal with arrays.
When you deal with large number of data entries and
you need to keep them in order and easily referable you prefer to use arrays. Some times
one dimensional ( list of test scores), many times two dimensional
( spreadsheets of various scores for various students, or
the availability of seats in a theater, or the characteristics
of a surface), and some times multi
dimensional ( the data needed to predict the weather
over a region over a few days) . In this unit we will also learn
some elementary statistics, such as: how to
calculate the mean, max, min, standard deviation of a set
of data and how to find a straight line curve fit of some
given relational data.
