Sorry i dont get the maths bit at all do i need it?

Question

Maths operations

Answer 1

If you don't get something, don't ask yourself: 'Do I need it?'

Instead ask yourself: 'How can I understand it?'

Programming is nothing for the faint-hearted. Your skill and knowledge are constantly challenged, and you'll only make progress if you're up for that.

Answer 2

Well of course you need it is the fundamental to solve basic mathematical problems and in order to understand it solve every part on its own
Here a similar example to the one you suggested in order to demonstrate the idea hope it helps
Lets say we have3 sums
Sum1=20*10 =200

Sum2=sum1*5=(200)*5=1000

Sum3=sum1*sum2=(200)*(1000)
=(200000)

Answer 3

Thanks Dareen that is what i wanted to know so now it makes sense. But why not just use a normal calculator......

Answer 4

Can you please elaborate your problem?

Answer 5

I dont understand what is meant by multiplies two values or divides by two values you have three sums but what is being divided or added or subtracted? Eg sum 1 = 1000*5 sum 2 = sum1 *10 sum 3 =sum 1*sum 2 does that mean 250x10x250?

Answer 6

I dont understand that at all

Answer 7

There seems no sense to it what is the answer is it giving an answer?

Answer 8

Well basically you learn these things and step by step will be able to make a normal calculator isn't it more interesting ,it shows you how this whole process happen and gives you the ability to simplify it to others
so if you ever wondered how can this tool process the mathematical problem you wrote ,it would be pretty great to make the same tool at least what i think

Answer 9

Other than that it is pretty helpful in other codes you will see as time goes good luck
