Outline
• Exercise six goals
• Outline tasks for exercise six
• Introduce idea of nested loops and table
generation
• Provide details for some tasks
3
Exercise Six Goals
• As a result of this exercise you should
be able to accomplish the following:
– write looping structures using both the
while and for commands
– write programs with nested loops
– prepare a table of values for a function of
two variables
– write a program to compute the sum of an
infinite series
4
Tasks for Exercise Six
• One –copy and paste code to produce
table of kinetic energy as a function of
mass and velocity
•Two –modify task one code to create
similar table for a different formula
• Three –write code with a while loop to
sum an infinite series for sin(x)
• Four –modify task three code to use a
for loop in place of a while loop
5
Task One: Kinetic Energy Table
•KE = mV
2/2
• Copy and execute code from exercise
• Code prints table of KE as a function of
mass, m, and velocity, V
– 1 kg ≤m ≤25 kg, with ∆m = 1 kg
–6 m/s≤V ≤15 m/s, with ∆V = 1 m/s
• Modify this code for task two
6
Nested for Loops
• Can have an inner for loop nested
inside an outer for loop
• Example, print table of kinetic energy
such as the one below
Velocity values m/s below
6 7 8 9 10
Mass
1 18.0 24.5 32.0 40.5 50.0
2 36.0 49.0 64.0 81.0 100.0
