Re: Could you please explain me whats happening in this code.Posted by webmaster Guido on July 03, 2003 at 16:34:29: In Reply to: Could you please explain me whats happening in this code. posted by p12297 on July 01, 2003 at 18:32:01: : Could you please explain me whats happening in this code. : if (abs (err)>epsilon) OR (abs (Overshoot)>epsilon) then In order to analyze the code, I rearranged it slightly so that we can have a look at the structure. if (Abs(Err) > Epsilon) or (Abs(Overshoot) > Epsilon) then begin if Sign(Err) = Sign(Overshoot) then begin if Abs(Err) > 0 then MyForm.Info.Lines.Append(S + ' ') else MyForm.Info.Lines.Append(S + ' -'); Overshoot := - Sign(Overshoot) * Epsilon; end else Overshoot := Err; end else if Overshoot = 0 then Overshoot := Err; I suppose that "Err" contains an error value, a positive or negative deviation from
some reference value. "Epsilon" seems to be a positive constant, to which "Err" and "Overshoot" are
compared. Looks like the code is written to be called repeatedly for different values of "Err", to recalculate Overhoot each time. In pseudo code: if (absolute value of Err) > Epsilon or (absolute value of OverShoot) > Epsilon then begin if Err and Overshoot have the same sign then begin invert sign of Overshoot, multiply result by Epsilon // also add a line to memo-component "Info" if (abs value of Err) > 0 then add string S followed by a space else // (abs value of Err) = 0 add string S followed by space and minus sign end else // Err and Overshoot have different signs Overshoot := Err end else // neither of the absolute values is greater than Epsilon if Overshoot = 0 then Overshoot := Err // else don't change Overshoot Hope that this is what you're asking for... please correct me if I'm wrong :) [ DelphiLand: free Delphi source code, tips, tutorials ] |
