Distance Formula - Return Value NaN
Mar 17, 2015
I am working on this new project where we are using the great distance formula but every time I run my ending result is NaN. I was researching, and people say its because you divide by 0. I think I have my formula correct.
Java Code:
public class testingFormula {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double lat = 34.01858902;
double lon = -118.2817688;
double lat2 =33.94530869;
double lon2 = -118.3994904;

I have been having difficulty with the weeks concepts in my online Java class, the program is to be as followed:
For this exercise you will implement a class called Pair, that represents a pair of two numbers.The Pair class should include the following constructor and methods:
CONSTRUCTORS
public Pair(double num1, double num2) -- Creates an object that represents a pair of double values
METHODS
public double getAverage() -- Returns the average value of the two numbers
public double getDistance() -- Returns the absolute vale of the distance between the two numbers
public double getMaximum() -- Returns the maximum value of the two numbers
public double getMinimum() -- Returns the minimum vale of the two numbers
Write a class called PairTest that tests your Pair implementation. The PairTest should prompt the user for the two values, create a Pair object with the values and then print the average, distance, maximum, and minimum of the pair. The input / output should look like the following:
Enter the first number: 5.5
Enter the second number: 3.0
Average: 4.25
Distance: 2.5
Maximum: 5.5
Minimum: 3.0
NOTE: For this exercise, your solution should not use any conditional statements. Instead you should use the methods provided by thejava.util.Math.
So far I have:
import java.lang.Math;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
{
System.out.println("Please enter a value for the first number");
[Code] ....

Write method distance to calculate the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). All numbers and return values should be of type double. Incorporate this method into an application that enables the user to enter the coordinates of the points.
Hints:
- The distance between two points can be calculated by taking the square root of
( x2 - x1 )2 + ( y2 - y1 )2
- Use Math class methods to compute the distance.
- Your output should appear as follows:
Type the end-of-file indicator to terminate
On UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X type <ctrl> d then press Enter
On Windows type <ctrl> z then press Enter
Or Enter X1: 1
Enter Y1: 1
Enter X2: 4
Enter Y2: 5
Distance is 5.000000
Type the end-of-file indicator to terminate
On UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X type <ctrl> d then press Enter
On Windows type <ctrl> z then press Enter
Or Enter X1: ^Z

I want to use a method, which takes for example an int and also returns an integer. For example, if the the given integer is strong return a, if it is notstrong return b. How would you write that in a Code?
I want to use that in a more general way. I want to give a method mlong the value X of the type date and let it return an int. Type date consists of 3 int, one of them is the int month.
mlong should return an int depending on the X.moth. at the moment my code looks like this:
// File1:
public class date {
public int day;
public int month;
public int year;
}
// File 2:
public class monthlength {
public int mlong(date X) {
int t;
t = X.month;
if (t == 1 || t == 3 || t == 5 || t == 7 || t == 8 || t == 10 || t == 12)
{ return 31; }
if(t == 4 || t == 6 || t == 9 || t == 11)
{return 30;}
}
}

I'm supposed to take an input from the user and calculate the value of pi using this formula: 1/1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 etc... so on alternating between minus and plus and denominator increasing by 2 every time. If the user inputs the number 3, then it should print (1/1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/9) *4. The idea here is that the higher the input of the user is, the higher the equation will be close to pi.
This is what i have so far :
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Pi
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
double first = 1/1;
double second = 1/3;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a Number to calculate how far you want the formula to perform: ");
double count = input.nextDouble();
}
}
This is literally all i have, i know i need a while loop and an if loop.

Write a program named QuadraticTable.java that takes three double arguments and two int arguments (in that order) from the command line. The three doubles will represent a, b, and c from the quadratic formula.
If the discriminant is non-negative, find and print the solutions to the quadratic equation. (The plus/minus sign in the quadratic formula indicates that you would separately perform both operations). Otherwise print "no real solutions".
Then using the last two int arguments as x_min and x_max, print a table of x and ax
2 + bx + c
values using the a, b, and c read in as command line arguments.
Sample output: (command line arguments were 1 0 2 -3 3)
1x^2 + 0x + 2 has no real solutions.
X 1x^2 + 0x + 2
-3 11
-2 6
-1 2
0 2
1 3
2 6
3 11

I have this formula for creating quarter wave antennas, however for some reason I can not get the right answer for it. double parM takes the users information which is a frequency in Megahertz and changes to feet so we can construct our antenna. However, in the program it gives me 1.9 instead 7.7 which it is suppose to be.
double parM = Double.parseDouble(userInput.getText());
double getSize = (234 / parM) * 12; // 12 is in inches

So Ive got to make a turtle on an image draw a semicircle that starts at the top of a circle and goes down and to the left, changing colors halfway through. I've got everything down, I can draw the turtles and make them do straight lines. My problem is more math related. I need to use the equation of a circle, give it points, and figure out how to write that code in java.
We use the equation for a circle: (x - a)^2 + (y - b)^2 = r^2

How do i take input values for TwoDPoint (which are objects) and return it back in numerical values also print them.
When i create an object in main method and pass values to my function of return type TwoDPoint,it gives error:- found int,int need TwoDPoiint,TwoDPoint.
// Here is what i tried to do:
Created class TwoDPoint that contains two fields x, y which are of type int. Defined another class TestTwoDPoint, where a main method is defined.In the main method created two TwoDPoint objects.
Then I modified the class TestTwoDPoint and add another function to it. This function takes two TwoDPoints as input and returns the TwoDPoint that is farthest from the point (0,0).
Then I added another function to TestTwoDPoint. This function takes two TwoDPoints as input and returns a new TwoDPoint whose x value is the sum of x values of the input TwoDPoint's and whose y value is the sum of the y values of the input TwoDPoint's.
class TwoDPoint {
int x = 2;
int y = 4;
}
class TestTwoDPoint {
public static void main(String args[]) {
TwoDPoint obj1 = new TwoDPoint();
System.out.println(obj1.x);
System.out.println(obj1.y);

hey just having some trouble with a homework question:
For this question you will use the Point class from the Java API, which represents points in 2-dimensional space, each of which has an x and y coordinate. You must write a program called Distance, which does the following:
1. Reads in the coordinates (separated by spaces) of two points
2. Creates two Point objects with the values entered by the user
3. Uses the distance method of the Point class to calculate the distance between the two points
4. Prints out the distance
Details on how to create Point classes can be found in the Java API documentation. However, for this question the only two methods you need to know about it are the following:
- Point(int x, int y) - Constructor; creates a new point
- double distance(Point other) - Calculates the distance between this point and another point
I think what i have so far will work, im jsut having problems creating 2 new objects . it points at new and says incompatible types. And also points at +distance and says cannot be de reference from a static context.
import java.awt.Point;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Distance{
private int pointX;
private int pointY;
private double distance;
public Distance(int x,int y)

I'm trying to write a program that will takes as input a sub-sequence/set/query eg; P = <1,3,0>)
int [][] S = {{1, 3, 0}};
and a list of series. eg;
int [][] T = {{1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 5},{9,9,9,9,9,9}};
The idea is to iterate through the series and find the lowest distance, using euclidean distance, between a subseries and the query.Example: d=distance d(P,T[1..3]=√(1-1)^2 + (3 - 2)^2 + (0 - 3)^2 = sqrt10 => 3.16...Then go through the first subseries again but starting at [1] in the array instead of [0], so d(P,T[2..4]=√(1-2)^2 + (3-3)^2 + (3-0)^2. keep repeating this process, then start searching the next subseries for the lowest distance, save the position of index(row#) and the start of the subseries(column#) that has the lowest distance.Here is the code i have written to do this without using nested for-loops to do it:
//Works out euclidean difference, long way need for loops
int [][] T = new int [][] {{1,2,3,0,1,5}};
int [][] S = new int [][] {{1, 3, 0}};
int s1 = S[0][0]; int s2 = S[0][1]; int s3 = S[0][2];
int t1 = T[0][0]; int t2 = T[0][1]; int t3 = T[0][2];
double sum;
sum = Math.pow((s1 - t1), 2);
sum += Math.pow((s2 - t2), 2);
sum += Math.pow ((s3 - t3), 2);
Double diff = Math.sqrt(sum);
System.out.println(diff);
}
However i want to use for-loops to iterate through as subseries could be of any length. The way i did it above isn't applicable.This is what i have so far...
int [][] S = {{1, 3, 0}};
int [][] T = {{1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 5},{9,9,9,9,9,9}};
int

I've been following a tutorial but I've decided to take what I've learned and make my own program but something seems to be wrong.
class Function{
public double abs(int num)

return num;

Write method distance, which calculates the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). All numbers and returned values should be of type double. Incorporate this method into an program that enable the user to enter the coordinates of the points, then calculate and display the distance by calling the method –distance.
I've tried numerous times to make it work and I'm on the right path, however I'm missing some things in the code to make my results look like this later on, which I've attached onto this post.

Pretty much what im trying to accomplish, i need to write a program that figures out the distance between one point to another, using miles and feet..
Heres how it has to look: "The distance from my uncles house is ___ miles, or ____ feet."
I can get it to run if i add only whole miles..but when i try to add 8.5 miles, and compile, the program flips out..I know i need to use a double somewhere, but cant figure it out, here is my code..
import java.util.Scanner; //required for input
public class feetToMiles {
public static void main (String[] args){
//Create new scanner object called input
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in); //allows for input

I need to modify the drawShape method to calculate the distance from the starting point (the diameter) of any shape regardless of how many sides I give it, but I have absolutely no clue where to begin with this. The ultimate goal of the program is to calculate the value of pi using the shape that is drawn.
Here is the code:
public class PiTurtle extends Turtle

final static double startX = 590.0;
final double startY;

When an object is falling because of gravity, the following formula can be used to determine the distance the object falls in a specified time period:
d = 1/2 gt^2
The variables in the formula are as follows: d is the distance in meters, g is 9.8, and t is the amount of time, in seconds, that the object has been falling.
Write a method named FallingDistance that accepts an object's falling time (in seconds) as an argument. The method should return the distance, in meters, that the object has fallen during the time interval. Demonstrate the method by calling it in a loop that passes the values 1 through 10 as arguments, and displays the return value.
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
public class FallingDistance
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
DecimalFormat num = new DecimalFormat("#,###.00");
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
double fallingTime;
[Code] ....
My program runs, but no matter what falling time I enter, I get the same numbers. What am I doing wrong?
