Assignment Factorial and Power

Assignment: Factorial and Power

This assignment is to help you review C-programming for Numerical Programming.

==Do NOT use Chat-GPT and online materials. You can do it by yourself==.

---

Problem

Q1. Create power(x,N) function that returns

$$y=x^N$$

double power(double x, int N);

Q2. Create factorial(x) function that returns

$$y=x! = x(x - 1)(x - 2)...1$$

double factorial(int x);

Preparation

You must complete the following tutorials first.

(1) Prepare NP Workspace

(2) Install VS Community

Process

1. Create a new project “ Assignment_powerNfactorial” with Visual Studio Community.

   It should be under the designated folder of \NP\assignment\

   ​

   C:\Users\UserName\source\repos\NP\assignment\Assignment_powerNfactorial\

   ​

   ​

2. Create a new source file and name it as “Assignment_powerNfactorial_yourName.cpp”

   ​

3. Copy the source code below or from this link: Assignment_powerNfactorial_student.cpp

   ​

4. Fill in the definitions of power() and factorial()

   ​

5. Run the code and check the answers

   ​

6. Capture the output window and paste in the report

Submit

(1) Report: “Assignment_powerNfactorial_yourName.pdf”

• A report that shows the results by capturing the output screen

• Download a simple report template

  ​

(2) Source code

• submit only “Assignment_powerNfactorial_yourName.cpp”

  ​
