Engineering Thread

We really should have our own forum entirely, but I think a thread'll do.

I rather enjoy the relaxed nature of a thread derailment, but in the general public's interest, maybe we should all hang out here.

tl;dr TR032 ARE GO!

I've got a bit of a problem with this weeks computer assignment. I know how to do it I just don't understand what she's saying in the description of it:

Frames come in two types- regular and fancy. The frames come in white and can be ordered in any colour the customer desires. Suppose that each frame is one inch wide. The cost of colouring the frame is €0.10 per inch. The cost of the regular frame is 0.15 per inch and the cost of a fancy frame is €0.25 per inch........

the program should prompt the user to input the following information:

a. the length and width in inches, of the picture.......
....

when she says "The cost of colouring the frame is €0.10 per inch." does that mean the cost is (€0.10)x(perimeter of the frame)?
also : "The cost of the regular frame is 0.15 per inch and the cost of a fancy frame is €0.25 per inch". does per inch here mean per inch perimeter?

I've been reading this question over and over for about 30 mins and still can't decide what she means. what d'you think???

Jonathan

Yea. It means the perimeter.

Peleus

ye, thats what i thought. Nice one!

Brian

Managed to to the Maths homework.. the WileyPLUS assignment was a hell of a lot easier than the stuff the lecturer was doing on Limits..

Jonathan

*bump*

we could do with a bit of off topic ness.. we've been quite good on thread recently....

Jonathan

Civil engineering is a load of crap.

Discuss.

Brian

So how many bleedin' Engineers showed up at this once touted "Engineers Beers". 3. THREE. Yous is failures.

j- doing lab report during the day tomorow, cba now.

Bloody WileyPlus, it's ghey!

Well it's not too bad really, but I just got done a couple of times. It asked for the answer to two decimal places so I answered .66 and 0.66, only to recieve two big Xs and it turns out the correct answer was 2/3. Just me or was that misleading? Also htf do you enter the infinity symbol without the snazzy text editor, it's not in the regular syntax set!

What off-topicness is this?

Nothing at all.

Mmmm...ok, off topicness.

Anyone here watch heroes? New series is pretty good right?

That should be off topic enough to squeeze in one more eng comment;
WileyPlus officially sucks balls, page load error for the last hour and half before the deadline. WTF!

Exercise your right* to submit a hard copy! Jesus, you kids these days are too afraid to step on toes.

The questions are online though, and are randomly assigned to each user.

Interesting. Why didn't I hear of this MSDNAA while I was actually a student? A few spare copies of XP wouldn't go amiss.
