If you don't do "1% of extra effort every day of the year", then wouldn't you be at 1.00^365 and not 0.99^365?
>>74997784
at least his teeth are british
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl4QMS0Zh_w
>>74997784
why are we multiplying the effort we make each day with the effort we made in previous days?
isn't it additive?
shouldn't this be .99 * 365 instead?
>>74999425
Leap year.
>>74999641
Not really. The more money you have, the easier it is to make money. A day's work is worth more on the 7th day than the first.
>75000000
>>75000000
fuck
>>74997784
1% of extra effort a day would be 1.01 x 365, wouldn't it?
so you end up with - surprise surprise - 1% extra
>>75000008
but then it's (1 + .99)^365, like compound interest or something
>>75000008
>The more money you have, the easier it is to make money
Only if you invest, and even then you need hundreds of thousands, if not millions, for it to make a tangible difference.
That equation might hold up at the very top, but for the general public, putting in that 1% extra is simply not going to be worth it if it's inconvenient.
Also, on a completely different note, why do "redistribute the wealth" lefties always gravitate towards the extremes? You don't hear them talking about the middle class, it's all about the impoverished and the billionaires for them.

The grey text isn't functional code its just an explanation in the coding used to tell other programmers who might try messing with the code what it does. Since the code on the right already is super simple in its operation you don't need the grey text for most of it. Like we already know that if a>b return b means that if a is greater than b b is returned. You don't need to grey text it. Also the code on the left is a simple number function as well, which needs no explanation.

The code could and should be

else

Also, the girls' code is wrong as if a and b are equal, the function should output a ( or b), and not 5

The code on the left is supposed to return the greater of two numbers. it does that most of the time, but if both numbers were say, 6, then it would return 5, making it incorrect as a solution and a failed first assignment in your cs 108 class. Also, she is redundant on the else if statement by having the compiler check if a is less than b, followed by checking if b is greater than a. If its passed through once, its inconsequential. Its just a couple of fractions of a millisecond long cycle of a spinning disc in your computer. If its part of a function called millions or billions of times then it is doubling the time needed for that particular line before it gets to the part about checking if they are the same value.
Anyone who isn't retarded would just write it as
if a > b
return a
else
return b

The reason you'd approximate a sqrt function is to optimize the code or speed it up. By a lot. Using a const is faster than using a literal declaration. Especially if this code is called hundreds of thousands of times... this adds up fast. Say, like, in graphics or physics where you can get away with tiny deviations.

Using const for a value that will never change is just good practice. Also, depending on the language, constant values are treated differently than variables that can change at runtime.
