Problem 1

Introduction

a) Create sinTaylor(x) that returns the output of sine x, where x is in [rad].

b) Create sindTaylor(x) that returns the output of sine x, where x in in [deg].

You must use your own function of power() and factorial() from Assignment 0

Procedure

Create a new empty project in Visual Studio Community
- Name the project as: TU_TaylorSeries
It should be saved under \tutorial directory
- i.e.: C:\Users\yourID\source\repos\NP\tutorial\TU_TaylorSeries
Create a new C/C++ source file for main()
- Name the source file as TU_taylorSeries_exercise.cpp
Copy the source code from

C_taylorSeries_exercise.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#define		PI		3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582


double factorial(int _x);
double power(double _x, int N);
double sinTaylor(double _x);
double sindTaylor(double _x);

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{

	double xdeg = 60;	
	double x = PI / 3;
	double sinN = 0;
	double sinDeg = 0;
	
	/*===== Select the function to call =====*/
	sinN = sinTaylor(x);  // in [rad]
		
	printf("\n\n");
	printf("=======================================\n");
	printf("    sin( %f[rad] ) Calculation   \n", x);
	printf("=======================================\n");	
	printf("   -  My     result = %3.12f    \n", sinN);
	printf("   -  Math.h result = %3.12f    \n", sin(x));
	printf("   -  absolute err. = %3.12f    \n", sinN - sin(x));
	printf("=======================================\n");


	sinDeg = sindTaylor(xdeg); // in [deg]
	printf("\n\n");
	printf("=======================================\n");
	printf("    sin( %f[deg] ) Calculation   \n", xdeg);

	printf("   -  My     result = %3.12f    \n", sinDeg);
	printf("=======================================\n");
	
	
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}


// factorial function
double factorial(int N)
{
	int y = 1;
	for (int k = 2; k <= N; k++)
		y = y * k;
	return y;
}


// power function
double power(double _x, int N)
{
	double y = 1;
	for (int k = 1; k <= N; k++)
		y = y * _x;
	return y;
}

//  Taylor series approximation for sin(x) (input unit: [rad])
double sinTaylor(double _x)
{	
	int N_max = 10;
	double sinN = 0;			

	for (int k = 0; k < N_max; k++)
		// [TODO] add your algorithm here
	
	return sinN;
}


// Taylor series approximation for sin(x) (input unit: [deg])
double sindTaylor(double _x)
{
	double sinDeg=0;
	// [TODO] add your algorithm here
	return sinDeg;
}

Fill in the definition of sinTaylor(rad) in the main source.
Compare your answer and calculate the absolute error
sin(π/3)= 0.86602540378
Create sindTaylor(deg) for degree unit input and output.

Hint: re-use sinTaylor(rad) definition

Problem 2

Introduction

Define your sinTaylor(x) in the NP library header file

Procedure

Create a new empty project in Visual Studio Community
- Name the project as: TU_TaylorSeries_Part2
It should be saved under \tutorial directory
- i.e.: C:\Users\yourID\source\repos\NP\tutorial\TU_TaylorSeries_Part2
Create a new C/C++ source file for main()
- Name the source file as TU_taylorSeries_exercise_part2.cpp
Copy the source code

C_taylorSeries_exercise_part2.cpp

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
//#define		PI		3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510582

#include "../../include/myNP_tutorial.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	double xdeg = 60;	
	double x = PI / 3;
	double sinN = 0;
	double sinDeg = 0;
	
	/*===== Select the function to call =====*/
	sinN = sinTaylor(x);  // in [rad]
		
	printf("\n\n");
	printf("=======================================\n");
	printf("    sin( %f[rad] ) Calculation   \n", x);
	printf("=======================================\n");	
	printf("   -  My     result = %3.12f    \n", sinN);
	printf("   -  Math.h result = %3.12f    \n", sin(x));
	printf("   -  absolute err. = %3.12f    \n", sinN - sin(x));
	printf("=======================================\n");


	sinDeg = sindTaylor(xdeg); // in [deg]
	printf("\n\n");
	printf("=======================================\n");
	printf("    sin( %f[deg] ) Calculation   \n", xdeg);
	printf("=======================================\n");	
	printf("   -  My     result = %3.12f    \n", sinDeg);
	printf("=======================================\n");
	
	
	system("pause");
	return 0;
}

(Library File Preparation)

Under the directory of \include, prepare header files
- Files: myNP_tutorial.cpp and myNP_tutorial.h.
- C:\Users\yourID\source\repos\NP\include
- You can download source files here
- This is the same header file as in Tutorial: NP Library Header Files Step 3. Create library header files

These files should be saved in “ \include\” folder.

(Library File Update)

Update the header files
- Your sinTaylor(rad) of Problem 1 should be declared and defined in the header file.
- See below as example
