First I've implemented location manager functions in my class and whict are working fine, and gives me the current location. From that location I got how to get location degrees from here. but I'm not able to get the direction (i.e. North, South, East, West) I've referred this too. I want the location that I'm getting to be displayed in degrees with direction format like this. i.e. location manager gives me +37.33019332,-122.02298792 and i want something like 37° 19' 49"N, -122° 1' 23"E. I'm getting all things just don't know how to get the last "N" and "E".
If i use CLLocation.course for this I'm getting my direction course.
Any help would be appreciated.
This is actually very simple. Latitudes begin at 0° at the equator with the north pole being 90.0 and the south pole being -90.0. Basically, if the latitude is between 0 and 90, you're in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere for latitude between 0 and -90.
Longitude basically works the same way. 0° refers to the prime meridian which is the imaginary line that runs through Greenwich, England and a part of Africa. A positive longitude up to 180° refers to locations east of the prime meridian, while negative longitudes refer to areas west of the prime meridian up to 180°.
Use this code and put CLLocationManagerDelegate at .h file
- (void)locationManager:(CLLocationManager *)manager didUpdateHeading:(CLHeading *)newHeading
{
updatedHeading = newHeading.magneticHeading;
float headingFloat = 0 - newHeading.magneticHeading;
rotateImg.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(headingFloat*radianConst);
float value = updatedHeading;
if(value >= 0 && value < 23)
{
compassFault.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f° N",value];
}
else if(value >=23 && value < 68)
{
compassFault.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f° NE",value];
}
else if(value >=68 && value < 113)
{
compassFault.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f° E",value];
}
else if(value >=113 && value < 185)
{
compassFault.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f° SE",value];
}
else if(value >=185 && value < 203)
{
compassFault.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f° S",value];
}
else if(value >=203 && value < 249)
{
compassFault.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f° SE",value];
}
else if(value >=249 && value < 293)
{
compassFault.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f° W",value];
}
else if(value >=293 && value < 350)
{
compassFault.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%f° NW",value];
}
}

I am developing a financial app and require IRR (in-built functionality of Excel) calculation and found such great tutorials in C here and such answer in C# here.
I implemented code of the C language above, but it gives a perfect result when IRR is in positive. It is not returning a negative value when it should be. Whereas in Excel =IRR(values,guessrate) returns negative IRR as well for some values.
I have referred to code in above C# link too, and it seems that it follows good procedures and returns errors and also hope that it returns negative IRR too, the same as Excel. But I am not familiar with C#, so I am not able to implement the same code in Objective-C or C.
I am writing C code from the above link which I have implemented for helping you guys.
#define LOW_RATE 0.01
#define HIGH_RATE 0.5
#define MAX_ITERATION 1000
#define PRECISION_REQ 0.00000001
double computeIRR(double cf[], int numOfFlows)
{
int i = 0, j = 0;
double m = 0.0;
double old = 0.00;
double new = 0.00;
double oldguessRate = LOW_RATE;
double newguessRate = LOW_RATE;
double guessRate = LOW_RATE;
double lowGuessRate = LOW_RATE;
double highGuessRate = HIGH_RATE;
double npv = 0.0;
double denom = 0.0;
for (i=0; i<MAX_ITERATION; i++)
{
npv = 0.00;
for (j=0; j<numOfFlows; j++)
{
denom = pow((1 + guessRate),j);
npv = npv + (cf[j]/denom);
}
/* Stop checking once the required precision is achieved */
if ((npv > 0) && (npv < PRECISION_REQ))
break;
if (old == 0)
old = npv;
else
old = new;
new = npv;
if (i > 0)
{
if (old < new)
{
if (old < 0 && new < 0)
highGuessRate = newguessRate;
else
lowGuessRate = newguessRate;
}
else
{
if (old > 0 && new > 0)
lowGuessRate = newguessRate;
else
highGuessRate = newguessRate;
}
}
oldguessRate = guessRate;
guessRate = (lowGuessRate + highGuessRate) / 2;
newguessRate = guessRate;
}
return guessRate;
}
I have attached the result for some value which are different in Excel and the above C language code.
Values: Output of Excel: -33.5%
1 = -18.5, Output of C code: 0.010 or say (1.0%)
2 = -18.5,
3 = -18.5,
4 = -18.5,
5 = -18.5,
6 = 32.0
Guess rate: 0.1
Since low_rate and high_rate are both positive, you're not able to get a negative score. You have to change:
#define LOW_RATE 0.01
to, for example,
#define LOW_RATE -0.5
guys, I'm making simple graph drawer and want to find beautiful values for horizontal lines.
For example, if I have value equals to 72089.601562, beautiful is 70000, or 75000. So, I think that beautifulNumber%5 = 0.
Have you any ideas?
How about this?
#import <math.h>
#import <stdio.h>
#define ROUNDING 5000
int beautify(float input)
{
// Cast to int, losing the decimal value.
int value = (int)input;
value = (value / ROUNDING) * ROUNDING;
if ((int)input % ROUNDING > ROUNDING / 2 )
{
value += ROUNDING;
}
return value;
}
int main()
{
printf("%d\n", beautify(70000.601562)); // 70000
printf("%d\n", beautify(72089.601562)); // 70000
printf("%d\n", beautify(76089.601562)); // 75000
printf("%d\n", beautify(79089.601562)); // 80000
printf("%d\n", beautify(70000.601562)); // 70000
return 0;
}
It depends whether you want a floor value, a ceiling value or just to round to the nearest 5000.
For a floor value:
int beautiful = (int)(floor(ugly / 5000.0) * 5000.0);
For a ceiling value:
int beautiful = (int)(ceil(ugly / 5000.0) * 5000.0);
For rounding:
int beautiful = (int)(round(ugly / 5000.0) * 5000.0);
For making graph lines, I'd probably find the minimum and maximum values you have to graph, start with a floor value for the minimum value and then add your desired interval until you have surpassed your maximum value.
For instance:
float minValue = 2.34;
float maxValue = 7.72;
int interval = 1;
NSMutableArray *horizLines = [NSMutableArray array];
int line = (int)(floor(minValue / interval) * interval);
[horizLines addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:line]];
do {
line = (int)(ceil(minValue / interval) * interval);
[horizLines addObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:line]];
if (minValue >= maxValue) break;
minValue = minValue + interval;
}
Use as needed!
Well, it seems like you'd want it to scale based on the size of the number. If the range only goes to 10, then obviously rounding to the nearest 5,000 doesn't make sense. There's probably a really elegant way to code it using bit shifting but just something like this will do the trick:
float value = 72089.601562
int beautiful = 0;
// EDIT to support returning a float for small numbers:
if (value < 0.2) beautiful = int(value*100)/100.;
else if (value < 2.) beautiful = int(value*10)/10.;
// Anything bigger is easy:
else if (value < 20) beautiful = (int)value;
else if (value < 200) beautiful = (int)value/10;
else if (value < 2000) beautiful = (int)value/100;
else if (value < 20000) beautiful = (int)value/1000;
// etc
Sounds like what you want to do is round to 1 or perhaps 2 significant digits. Rounding to n significant digits is pretty easy:
double roundToNDigits(double x, int n) {
double basis = pow(10.0, floor(log10(x)) - (n-1));
return basis * round(x / basis);
}
This will give you roundToNDigits(74518.7, 1) == 70000.0 and roundToNDigits(7628.54, 1) == 8000.00
If you want to round to 1 or 2 digits (only 2 where the second digit is 5), you want something like:
double roundSpecial(double x) {
double basis = pow(10.0, floor(log10(x))) / 2.0;
return basis * round(x / basis);
}
I was initially thinking that the code below would return 0, my question, is there a function that I can use to only receive zero/positive results here?
NSUInteger pruneSize = 5 - 20; // Returns: -15
Currently I am just checking the result myself, but was wondering if I was missing something simpler.
NSUInteger pruneSize = 5 - 20;
if(pruneSize >= 0) {
// Do zero/positive Stuff ...
}
pruneSize >= 0 is always true as pruneSize is unsigned. You should get a warning here. You need to change the type to NSInteger, that is the signed integer. If you want to clip the lower value to zero for a signed int then you can do this:
NSInteger pruneSize = 5 - 20; // signed int
pruneSize = pruneSize < 0 ? 0 : pruneSize;
You can use abs(pruneSize) which will return you positive or zero number in any case.
EDIT:
NSUInteger pruneSize = 5-20;
if(pruneSize < 0)
{
pruneSize = 0;
}
NSLog(#"%d",pruneSize);
Hope this helps you.
If you want your function to return always zero if your result is in negative(less than 0) then return zero or else return result
int n=0;
if(result > 0){ //positive
n = result
else
n = 0
return n
or use the abs method
I have this game where i need to know if the ball has hit a wall on the side (to bounce back on the x-axis) or on the top (to bounce back on the y-axis, like a bounce on the ground). They work fine individually, but when I uncomment both of them, it dosen't work. (I think this is because the code is 'overlapping'?). Anyway, here is the code, and any help is fantastic:
if (CGRectIntersectsRect(guy.frame, wall_01.frame)) {
if (guy.frame.origin.y+guy.frame.size.height >= wall_01.frame.origin.y && guy.frame.origin.y <= wall_01.frame.origin.y+wall_01.frame.size.height) {
iJump *= kRestitution;
}
if (guy.frame.origin.x+guy.frame.size.width >= wall_01.frame.origin.x && guy.frame.origin.x <= wall_01.frame.origin.x+wall_01.frame.size.width) {
jJump *= kRestitution;
}
}
assuming wall is on the left side and the y increases from top to bottom
CGFloat leftWall = someXPosition;
CGFloat ground = someYPosition;
CGFloat ballLeft = CGRectGetMinX(guy.frame);
CGFloat ballRight = CGRectGetMaxX(guy.frame);
CGFloat ballBottom = CGRectGetMaxY(guy.frame);
if (ballLeft <= leftwall && ballBot >= ground){
//ball hit corner ?
} else if (ballLeft <= leftWall){
//passed or touched wall
} else if (ballBot >= ground){
//passed or touched ground
}
I am trying to figure out how to create an 'if' statement that uses a time value as a condition. For example:
if (time <= 10:00) {
score = 3;
} else if (time <= 20:00) {
score = 5;
} else {
score = 9;
}
I know that a string of "5:23" cannot be compared this way but I don't think I can just turn a string value like that directly into an integer. Any thoughts?
Try this:
NSString *realTimeString = #"10:00";
NSString *someTimeString = [realTimeString stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#":"
withString:#"."];
float time = [someTimeString floatValue];
if (time <= 10.00) {
score = 3;
} else if (time <= 20.00) {
score = 5;
} else {
score = 9;
}
