Overflow in C++ - c++

So..
Here is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
unsigned long long i,y,n,x=45;
unsigned long long factorial = 1;
for(n = 0; n <= 5; n++)
{
y = (pow(-1,n)*pow(x,2*n)) / factorial;
cout << "COS IS " << y << endl;
}
for(int i = 1; i <=n; i++)
{
factorial *= 2*i;
}
}
I get an overflow but I really don't know why. I use unsigned long long just to make sure that I on't get but.. I still get it. Even limited to small numbers. I tried to implement this:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Trigonometry/Power_Series_for_Cosine_and_Sine
But I really can't do it because of the overflow. Do you have any ideea on what can I do ? I am newbie in programming so, take it easy on me :D

There are many issues.
you use integer types when you should use floating point types
you use unsigned types for signed calculations
you don't use radians but degrees (45° ≈ 0.78539 radians)
you don't calculate the factorial in the loop, it is always 1, you only calculate it at the end of the loop but then it's too late, and your calculation of the factorial is wrong anyway.
the algorithm is wrong, it just doesn't do what Maclaurin's therorem says, you need to sum up the terms, but you just print the terms.
You probably want this:
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
long factorial(int n)
{
long result = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
result *= i;
return result;
}
int main()
{
double x = 0.785398163397448309616; //PI/4 expectd result COS(PI/4) = 0.7071067
double mycosinus = 0;
for (int n = 0; n <= 5; n++)
{
mycosinus += (pow(-1, n) * pow(x, 2 * n)) / factorial(2*n);
cout << "COS IS " << mycosinus << endl;
}
}
This is your wrong algorithm for calculating the factorial of 5:
int main()
{
int n = 5;
int factorial = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
factorial *= 2 * i;
}
cout << "factorial 5 = " << factorial << endl;
}
The calculated value is 3840 instead of 120. I let you find out what's wrong yourself.

For performing this sort of maths you need to use a floating point like float or double not integral types like long, int or long long, given that sin and cos can both return negative numbers you shouldn't be using unsigned either.

C++ function to approximate sine using taylor series expansion

Hi I am trying to calculate the results of the Taylor series expansion for sine to the specified number of terms.
I am running into some problems
Your task is to implement makeSineToOrder(k)
This is templated by the type of values used in the calculation.
It must yield a function that takes a value of the specified type and
returns the sine of that value (in the specified type again)
double factorial(double long order){
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
double fact = 1;
for(int i = 1; i <= num; i++){
fact *= i;
}
return fact;
}
void makeSineToOrder(long double order,long double precision = 15){
double value = 0;
for(int n = 0; n < precision; n++){
value += pow(-1.0, n) * pow(num, 2*n+1) / factorial(2*n + 1);
}
return value;
int main()
{
using namespace std;
long double pi = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510L;
for(int order = 1;order < 20; order++) {
auto sine = makeSineToOrder<long double>(order);
cout << "order(" << order << ") -> sine(pi) = " << setprecision(15) << sine(pi) << endl;
}
return 0;
}
I tried debugging
here is a version that at least compiles and gives some output
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
double factorial(double long num) {
double fact = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= num; i++) {
fact *= i;
}
return fact;
}
double makeSineToOrder(double num, double precision = 15) {
double value = 0;
for (int n = 0; n < precision; n++) {
value += pow(-1.0, n) * pow(num, 2 * n + 1) / factorial(2 * n + 1);
}
return value;
}
int main(){
long double pi = 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510L;
for (int order = 1; order < 20; order++) {
auto sine = makeSineToOrder(order);
cout << "order(" << order << ") -> sine(pi) = " << setprecision(15) << sine << endl;
}
return 0;
}
not sure what that odd sine(pi) was supposed to be doing
Apart the obvious syntax errors (the includes should be before your factorial header) in your code:
I see no templates in your code which your assignment clearly states to use
so I would expect template like:
<class T> T mysin(T x,int n=15){ ... }
using pow for generic datatype is not safe
because inbuild pow will use float or double instead of your generic type so you might expect rounding/casting problems or even unresolved function in case of incompatible type.
To remedy that you can rewrite the code to not use pow as its just consequent multiplication in loop so why computing pow again and again?
using factorial function is waste
you can compute it similar to pow in the same loop no need to compute the already computed multiplications again and again. Also not using template for your factorial makes the same problems as using pow
so putting all together using this formula:
along with templates and exchanging pow,factorial functions with consequent iteration I got this:
template <class T> T mysin(T x,int n=15)
{
int i;
T y=0; // result
T x2=x*x; // x^2
T xi=x; // x^i
T ii=1; // i!
if (n>0) for(i=1;;)
{
y+=xi/ii; xi*=x2; i++; ii*=i; i++; ii*=i; n--; if (!n) break;
y-=xi/ii; xi*=x2; i++; ii*=i; i++; ii*=i; n--; if (!n) break;
}
return y;
}
so factorial ii is multiplied by i+1 and i+2 every iteration and power xi is multiplied by x^2 every iteration ... the sign change is hard coded so for loop does 2 iterations per one run (that is the reason for the break;)
As you can see this does not use anything funny so you do not need any includes for this not even math ...
You might want to add x=fmod(x,6.283185307179586476925286766559) at the start of mysin in order to use more than just first period however in that case you have to ensure fmod implementation uses T or compatible type to it ... Also the 2*pi constant should be in target precision or higher
beware too big n will overflow both int and generic type T (so you might want to limit n based on used type somehow or just use it wisely).
Also note on 32bit floats you can not get better than 5 decimal places no matter what n is with this kind of computation.
Btw. there are faster and more accurate methods of computing goniometrics like Chebyshev and CORDIC

sum of Maclaurin series c++

I am struggling to make this equation equals to each other because of a bad understanding of mathematics.
The problem is that the equation does not equal to each other
here is my code for better understand
#include <iostream>
#include <ccomplex>
using std::cout;
int main() {
int n = 8;
double sum = 0.0;
unsigned long long fact =1;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
fact *= 2*i*(2*i-1);
sum += 1.0 / fact;
}
std::cout << "first equation " << sum << std::endl;
double e = M_E;
double st = 1.0/2.0*(e + (1.0/e));
std::cout <<"second equation " << st << std::endl;
return 0;
}
the output
first equation 0.543081
second equation 1.54308
The result it nearly It must be at least equal before the comma,
You don't account for n = 0, which yields 0! and thus 1. Therefore, you need to add 1 to sum.

C++: about precision of calculating (code is inside)

Can you give me advice about precision of computing Taylor series for an exponent? We have a degree of exponent and a figure of precision calculating as imput data. We should recieve a calculating number with a given precision as output data. I wrote a program, but when I calculate an answer and compare it with embedded function's answer, it has differents. Can you advice me, how I can destroy a difference between answeres? formula of exponent's calculating
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "iostream"
#include <math.h>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
int Factorial(int n);
double Taylor(double x, int q);
int main()
{
double res = 0;
int q = 0;
double number = 0;
cout << "Enter positive number" << "\n";
cin >> number;
cout << "Enter rounding error (precision)" << "\n";
cin >> q;
cout << "\n" << "\n";
res = Taylor(number, q);
cout << "Answer by Taylor : " << res;
cout << "Answer by embedded function: " << exp(number);
Sleep(25000);
return 0;
}
int Factorial(int n) {
int res = 1;
int i = 2;
if (n == 1 || n == 0)
return 1;
else
{
while (i <= n)
{
res *= i;
i++;
}
return res;
}
}
double Taylor(double x, int q) {
double res = 1;
double res1 = 0;
int i =1;
while (i)
{
res += (pow(x, i) / Factorial(i));
if (int(res*pow(10, q)) < (res*pow(10, q)))
{//rounding res below
if ( ( int (res * pow(10,q+1)) - int(res*pow(10, q))) <5 )
res1 = (int(res*pow(10, q))) * pow(10, (-q));
else
res1 = (int(res*pow(10, q))) * pow(10, (-q)) + pow(10,-q);
return res1;
}
i++;
}
}
There are two problems in your code. First, the factorial is very prone to overflow. Actually I dont know when overflow occurs for int factorials, but I remember that eg on usual pocket calculators x! overflows already for x==70. You probably dont need that high factorials, but still it is better to avoid that problem right from the start. If you look at the correction that needs to be added in each step: x^i / i! (maths notation) then you notice that this value is actually much smaller than x^i or i! respectively. Also you can calculate the value easily from the previous one by simply multiplying it by x/i.
Second, I dont understand your calculations for the precision. Maybe it is correct, but to be honest for me it looks too complicated to even try to understand it ;).
Here is how you can get the correct value:
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
struct taylor_result {
int iterations;
double value;
taylor_result() : iterations(0),value(0) {}
};
taylor_result taylor(double x,double eps = 1e-8){
taylor_result res;
double accu = 1; // calculate only the correction
// but not its individual terms
while(accu > eps){
res.value += accu;
res.iterations++;
accu *= (x / (res.iterations));
}
return res;
}
int main() {
std::cout << taylor(3.0).value << "\n";
std::cout << exp(3.0) << "\n";
}
Note that I used a struct to return the result, as you should pay attention to the number of iterations needed.
PS: see here for a modified code that lets you use a already calculated result to continue the series for better precision. Imho a nice solution should also provide a way to set a limit for the number of iterations, but this I leave for you to implement ;)

C++ Difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers and the square of the sum

i wrote a code that calculates and outputs a difference between the sum of the squares of the first ten natural numbers and the square of the sum.
The problem is with function squareOfSum(). The function should return 3025 but it always returns 3024. Even if i try to put 100 into brackets i get 25502499 (25502500 is correct). No matter what number i put into brackets i always get the same problem.
What am I doing wrong?
Here's a screenshot of my output.
#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int sumOfSquares(int limit);
int squareOfSum(int limit);
int main()
{
cout << sumOfSquares(10) << endl;
cout << squareOfSum(10) << endl;
cout << squareOfSum(10) - sumOfSquares(10) << endl;
}
int sumOfSquares(int limit)
{
int sum = 0;
for(int i = 1; i<=limit; i++)
{
sum +=pow(i,2);
}
return sum;
}
int squareOfSum(int limit)
{
int sum = 0, square = 0;
for(int i = 1; i<=limit; i++)
{
sum +=i;
}
square = pow(sum,2);
return square;
}
Note that pow is a function that works with floating point numbers. Optimizations might lead to rounding errors or truncation during implicit coversion to int. Replace pow(i, 2) with i*i and you'll get pure integer arithmetic and thus exact results.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int higher_limit = 100;
int SquaresOfSum = 0;
int SumOfSquares = 0,count=0;
for(int i=1;i<=higher_limit;i++){
count += i;
SumOfSquares += pow(i,2);
}
SquaresOfSum = pow(count,2);
cout<<SquaresOfSum-SumOfSquares;
}
Using Javascript
const sumSquareDifference = (n) => {
const numbers = [...Array(n + 1).keys()];
const sumOfSquares = numbers.reduce((accumulator, number) => accumulator + (number ** 2));
const squareOfSum = numbers.reduce((accumulator, number) => accumulator + number) ** 2;
return squareOfSum - sumOfSquares;
}
console.log(sumSquareDifference(10));

Using pow() for large number

I am trying to solve a problem, a part of which requires me to calculate (2^n)%1000000007 , where n<=10^9. But my following code gives me output "0" even for input like n=99.
Is there anyway other than having a loop which multilplies the output by 2 every time and finding the modulo every time (this is not I am looking for as this will be very slow for large numbers).
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
unsigned long long gaps,total;
while(1)
{
cin>>gaps;
total=(unsigned long long)powf(2,gaps)%1000000007;
cout<<total<<endl;
}
}
You need a "big num" library, it is not clear what platform you are on, but start here:
http://gmplib.org/
this is not I am looking for as this will be very slow for large numbers
Using a bigint library will be considerably slower pretty much any other solution.
Don't take the modulo every pass through the loop: rather, only take it when the output grows bigger than the modulus, as follows:
#include <iostream>
int main() {
int modulus = 1000000007;
int n = 88888888;
long res = 1;
for(long i=0; i < n; ++i) {
res *= 2;
if(res > modulus)
res %= modulus;
}
std::cout << res << std::endl;
}
This is actually pretty quick:
$ time ./t
./t 1.19s user 0.00s system 99% cpu 1.197 total
I should mention that the reason this works is that if a and b are equivalent mod m (that is, a % m = b % m), then this equality holds multiple k of a and b (that is, the foregoing equality implies (a*k)%m = (b*k)%m).
Chris proposed GMP, but if you need just that and want to do things The C++ Way, not The C Way, and without unnecessary complexity, you may just want to check this out - it generates few warnings when compiling, but is quite simple and Just Works™.
You can split your 2^n into chunks of 2^m. You need to find: `
2^m * 2^m * ... 2^(less than m)
Number m should be 31 is for 32-bit CPU. Then your answer is:
chunk1 % k * chunk2 * k ... where k=1000000007
You are still O(N). But then you can utilize the fact that all chunk % k are equal except last one and you can make it O(1)
I wrote this function. It is very inefficient but it works with very large numbers. It uses my self-made algorithm to store big numbers in arrays using a decimal like system.

I created this for tetration and eventually hyperoperations. When the numbers get really big it can take ages to calculate and a lot of memory. The #define MAX 0x7fffffff/32/4 is the number of decimals one number can have. I might make another algorithm later to combine multiple of these arrays into one number. On my system the max array length is 0x7fffffff aka 2147486347 aka 2^31-1 aka int32_max (which is usually the standard int size) so I had to divide int32_max by 32 to make the creation of this array possible. I also divided it by 4 to reduce memory usage in the multiply() function.
