Now my question is if x4 isa flip employee to cover the off days
How much flip employees i need if tger is 50 employee or 200

Because you know if i have x1 and x2 and x3 i can't maje this schedule without x4 because there will be days without anyone at or 0 zero days
But what about large numberes
How many i need

#52 Re: Help Me ! » How to make a schedule for four employ 3 shifts each one has 8 hourday » 2023-06-18 08:25:04

Why there is DDAD and AAAD
I want everyweek to still same like six days and sixs nights continuously how to do that

Also your schedule has a small mistake there is eight A it has to be 6 A then OFF
And is there general equation for that

Also the employees are security officers in airport
I Can't just do it with 28 days
They have to work the whole month I don't want the airport be empty from the officers every morning i need and officer at list and everynight and afternoon the other 225 are security inspectors also i need at least 70 of them at daylight and 70 at afternoon and 60 of them at night
No problem with night can be lesser because night is not important there is less passengers traveling at night

#53 Re: Help Me ! » How to make a schedule for four employ 3 shifts each one has 8 hourday » 2023-06-18 04:48:52

Also my last problem with that os how to apply
That schedule for 200 employee or 250

#54 Re: Help Me ! » How to make a schedule for four employ 3 shifts each one has 8 hourday » 2023-06-18 04:06:27

the second problem I got as you will see in the next photo..

the first photo I show to you was in month May
in the second photo it's the next month which is June schedule


2023-06-18-185938.png



in the May the day1 start at Monday until  Day5 which is Friday which is the OFF day of X1 employee
so I started to fill and trying and tests thier schedules according to this
but at Day31 of May it was Wed and it was (D) shift for the X1 employee the end of the month
then at June the sixth Month it most continue in (D) shift until his Friday OFF
so I can't save the pattern inside my mind and apply it for each month because it has to be a specific calculations for each months
because some month also start for example at Sunday which is the OFF of the X3 employee
I just want to make a schedule  so I make sure I don't make any mistakes
and I want to know how to customize it for example I want to change few things like I want in Day5 2 employee at afternoon shifts instead of them at Daylight shift

#55 Re: Help Me ! » How to make a schedule for four employ 3 shifts each one has 8 hourday » 2023-06-18 02:02:29

A mean afternoon(2PM to 10PM)
D mean Daylight (6AM-2PM)
N mean night (from 10PM to 6AM)

There is four employees lets say instead of these names in yellow the : x1 x2 x3 and x4

Yes no problem if an employee got same day work
Like x1 abd x2 went at work togather in afternoon
But I prefer must of that occur at day and afternoon usually
Because we don't need a lot of employee at night one is enough

Also each employee has one day off per week not mater the day monday or Friday or any random day
And no problem if two employees or more has the same day off but onl61 day per week only

This happen every 1 month (31 days) sometimes 30 days or 29
but the day off is constant for the whole year or for ever

Is there equation for this how to calculate

It has 3 math night from 10pm to 6AM and day from 6AM to 2pm and afternoon from 2pm to 10PM each one 8 hours then each one has 1 day off per week or per 6 days so how to do it using your sequare please send me the chart as photo
For example
for example for this month please she the pic

hi Hannibal lecter

Is this a question about calculating angles and 'views' in 3D ?  I wish you hadn't used a gun to illustrate your post.  This is Maths Is Fun. Not much fun in a device that is used for killing people!  Perhaps you could modify your post to make it more fun.

how many views it will have 20 25 or what

What do you mean here?  A 360 degree rotation means there's an infinite number of angles of view.  If you could be more specific about the issue I may be able to help with some 3D geometry. In the past I have helped posters using vector geometry and also trigonometry in 3D.  But I need more information.

The guns view are from x-ray screen machine
How many views the bag will have on the screen

Bob


Yes in 3D I need main views only like that gun look how many views are there for it, what if it's a bag of a woman or a shoe for example any object

EPSILON = 1E-14;
r = sqrt(2.0)

if  abs(r * r - 2.0) < EPSILON
output :-
sqrt(2.0) squared is approximately 2.0

this when I use java but when I use Microsoft calculator it said false! the condition would be false not true as you can see in this picture :-

2022-10-04-144854.png


also as you can see in this example :-

double x = 9.999999999999999;
if (Math.abs(x- 10.0) < EPSILON)
{
System.out.println("the number is approximately 10"); 
    }
}
}

when I minus the 9.999999999999999 to 9.99 for example the condition will be false!




in short I just want to solve this question :-

Explain why it is more difficult to compare floating-point numbers than integers.
Write Java code to test whether an integer n equals 10 and whether a floating-point
number x is approximately equal to 10

Hi,

if (-0.01 < x - y && x - y < 0.01)
         {
            print : "The numbers are close together");
         }

what is the meaning of -0.01?
and how could we compared between two numbers distance using this short unknown expression?
I mean for example I'll try two close numbers but it didn't work like :
x = 1, y= 0.5
like :
(-0.01 < 1 - 0.5 && 1 - 0.5 < 0.01)
( true && false )
the result is false !!!! so the numbers are not close but they are close it's 1 and 0.5 look 0--0.5--1.5--2-2.5...

so the numbers are not close togather? is that expression wrong? and if it's wrong what is the correct one

Let's say you want to do 1 / 3 as a decimal.

Let's try 100 / 3 first.

100 - 3 = 97         97 - 3 = 94         Oh dear! This will take ages.  Let's speed it up by taking 30 at a time.

100 - 30 = 70      70 - 30 = 40         40 - 30 = 10

Now I haven't got enough left to take another 30 so I'll switch to taking 3s.

10 - 3 = 7       7 - 3 = 4      4 - 3 = 1 

Now I haven't got enough to take any more 3s so I'll switch to taking away 0.3 each time.

1 - 0.3 = 0.7        0.7 - 0.3 = 0.4        0.4 - 0.3 = 0.1   

This is going to go on forever because I always get a bit left over. 
If I was setting this out as a division the answer space would have this:

33.333333

If I want to do 1 / 3, it's exactly the same except the decimal point shifts two places left.

1 / 3 = 0.33333333

Bob


I understand everything now completely but that last segment of your post it's a little not clear to me
because you take 100 - 3 until you reached 40 - 30 = 10 then stopped (first time)
then you take 10 - 3 = 7       until you reached      4 - 3 = 1  then stopped (second time)
finally you take 1 - 0.3 = 0.7        until you reached        0.4 - 0.3 = 0.1  then stopped (third time)
so the number would be 0.3? right? it's 3 times right?? how it's 33.333333 or 0.33333333 it should be 0.3 right

#64 Re: Help Me ! » dividing small number over a larger number concept » 2022-03-16 13:20:48

So we record that in the answer space as not 4 subtracts but 0.4 subtracts because we shifted the carriage one place.

I mean we made 15 become 1.5 the number is changed who gives the right to do such a thing is that legal in math and clearly understandable? is there explaintion for that ..
I mean we chose a different number it's 1.5
I can't imagine that is there interactive example like 6 apples iver 16 people

#65 Re: Help Me ! » dividing small number over a larger number concept » 2022-03-16 07:47:23

First you try 6 - 15.  Cannot do that as you're trying to take away too much.  So 'shift the carriage' and try to take away 1.5s.  You can do that exactly 4 times; 6 - 1.5 - 1.5 - 1.5 - 1.5 = 0.  So we record that in the answer space as not 4 subtracts but 0.4 subtracts because we shifted the carriage one place.

bob why we can't do repeated subtraction
like 8 ÷ 4
8 - 4 = 4 (1 time)
4 - 4 = 0 (1 time)
then the result is 2

why in 5 ÷ 16 you said (Cannot do that as you're trying to take away too much)
what you mean by that can you please explain further to me


and after that you said :-

, so 'shift the carriage' and do 1 - 0.6 = 0.4.  You can do that once but then there's not enough left to do it again.

what you mean by "there is not enough left"

can you please explain that further for a beginner

can you please tell me or send me a photo of that mechanical calculators and where to do you have a similar links to buy it from amazon or ebay

And to do division you had to do repeated subtraction.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I couldn't understand how division is a repeated subtraction

++++++++++++
example.  If the calculation was 48 divided by 6 you would set up 48 in the register, then set up 6 as the amount to subtract, and then wind the handle backwards so the display showed 42, then 36 then 30 and so on until zero was showing.  A side register would show how many times you had turned the handle and it would be showing 8 in the case.
++++++++++++

but 48 divided by 6 is 8 directly how could it displayed 42 at first from where did we get this number even in papers couldn't find it

++++++++++++
If the calculation was 1 divided by 8 the procedure was as follows:
Now you are subtracting 0.08 each time. 

1-
0.8
0.2-
0.08
0.012
++++++++++++
the number is 0.08?? is very ambiguous to me, from where we get that number even in papers I tried a lot I couldn't figure it
you said " subtracting 0.08 each time "

and thanks you so much you understand what I want it's really my problem I can't understand division process

What is the concept of dividing small number over a larger one (ex: 1/6)
1/6=0.16666666666
is 1 divided into 6 pieces and become 0.16666666666
and these pieces called units of 1 or something like that?
so 0.16666666666 * 6 = 1
what is the concept of this division and why number one cut into pieces and become exactly 0.16666666666
how to measure that or represent it on Number line!
also when calculation 0.16666666666 * 6 it's 0.99999999996 not 1 !!!
and is there a resources and math books to illustrate this but not YouTube channel please it's only give the ways to calculate it not explantion.


and I have example of a second problem it's 6/15 as following in the picture ..
my question is who gives as the rights or standards to put zero down? (u will see what I mean from the picture)
and my second question is who gives as the right and standards to place a decimal point (you will see that also from the picture)

The university bookstore has a Kilobyte Day sale every October 24, giving an 8 percent
discount on all computer accessory purchases if the price is less than $128, and a 16 percent
discount if the price is at least $128. Write a program that asks the cashier for the original price
and then prints the discounted price

solution :
{
If original price < 128
discount rate = 0.92
Else                              // i't mean if the other condition true which is (if original price ≥ 128) but the problem not here!
discount rate = 0.84

discounted price = discount rate x original price
}

my problem is what is the meaning of 0.92?
and what is the meaning of 0.84?
in the exercise it said discount only 8% mentioned and 16%, from where did we get 0.92 and 0.84???


because I solve it like that :
discount price = original price - DiscountedValue
example : 110
discount price = 110-8.8  // because discountPrice will be (8/100 * 110 = 8.8)...
this way of mine is gives the same answer! why the book used something like that and how the book find that rate?

Hi,
which logic gate gives :


x y result
0 0   1
0 1   0
1 0   1
1 1   0


this is the question :



if (A = '1') and (B = '1') then tempY <= '0';
elsif (A = '0') and (B = '0') then tempY <= '0';
else tempY < = '1';
end if;
if (A = '0' and B = '0') then tempZ <= '1';
elsif(A = '0' and B = '1') then tempZ <= '0';
elsif(A = '1' and B = '1') then tempZ <= '0';
elsif(A = '1' and B = '0') then tempZ <= '1';
end if;
end process;
Y <= tempY;
Z <= tempZ;

Y is an xor gate
but what is z

If g(x) is an even function then f(g(x)) is even for every
function f(x).

solution :

True. We have g(−x) = g(x) since g is even, and therefore f(g(−x)) = f(g(x))


is that mean wherever I compose f(even function input) the output will be even?

the answer of 36. is f(x) = x^3   , g(x) = x + 1

can you tell me what is the step of thinking to extract the inside function and outside function?
