Challenge: Formula Converter
Convert a mathematical formula into a program.
We'll cover the following
Note: We have revised this challenge based on the feedback from learners to make it more approachable.
Task
Write a program that calculates the result
using the following formula:
Sample input
x = 3
y = 4
The resulting value
result = 29
Expected output
The calculated result is 29.
How to test your program
When you click the “Test” button of the code widget, you get two options:
-
Show Results: This shows the sample inputs and their respective results in comparison with the expected output. The actual output is the calculated result. The word “Succeeded” in the last column indicates that the calculated output matches the expected output. For example, if the values of
x
andy
are3
and4
respectively, and the result is29
, then the last column shows “Succeeded.” -
Show Console: This shows the output from the
print()
statements used in your code. You may use this to verify your calculations on the basis of sample test inputs. For example, if the values ofx
, andy
are3
and4
, respectively, then the output on the console should beThe calculated result is 29
.
# You are required to write the code to convert the formula above to Ruby.# Assume that we have x and y variables already defined:# You are required to use the above variables to calculate# the value of resultresult = 0
