programming question @@?

It's asking you to tell where on a cartesian graph a particular point would fall. You can tell this by what is negative and positive inside the point.


(+,+) quadrant one
(-,+)quadrant two
(-,-) quadrant three
(+,-)quadrant four

Using that information, you should be able to come up with an if-else type filter that can tell which quadrant a point is in, or whether it falls on an axis or the origin. Good luck!

I'm guessing it's a basic input/output program? It sounds like they want to take user input, and based on that user input, determine what quadrant of axis it's on.

I don't know what language you're using, but I'm going to approach this in the language I know, which is c++.

Set it up to take in user data. Maybe prompt the user to put in two numbers for a coordinate system. Set up a series of if/else statements.

Here's a possible example to determine a quadrant (pseudocode, don't try to plug this into a program):

Using variables VarX, and VarY:

If(VarX > 0 && VarY > 0)
cout << "Point is in quandrant 1";

If(VarX > 0 && VarY < 0)
cout << "Point is in quandrant 4";

If(VarX < 0 && VarY > 0)
cout << "Point is in quandrant 2";

If(VarX < 0 && VarY < 0)
cout << "Point is in quandrant 3";


Or something to that effect. The question you were given is kind of vague, and it would help to know where you are in your curriculum and lesson to put things into better perspective. I hope that gives you an idea on how to write your program and helps you understand your project better.

return x==0&&y==0 ? "is on the origin." :
x==0 ? "is on the X-axis." :
y==0 ? "is on the Y-axis." :
x>0&&y>0 ? "is in quadrant 1." :
x>0&&y<0 ? "is in quadrant 2." :
y<0 ? "is in quadrant 3." :
"is in quadrant 4.";
