what does "write the summary of the method interface(signature)" mean?

and what is "the recursive definition or your recursive solution"?

@Jacob
so if your function is
```python
def fibonacci(n):
if n == 0 or n == 1:
return n
else:
return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
```
Then 1. the function signature is `fibonacci(n)`. (In Java this probably looks more like `public int fibonacci(int n)`
2. the base case is
```python
if n==0 or n ==1:
return n
```
3. the recursive part is
```python
if not(n==0 or n==1):
return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)
```

@ThisIsChris Thanks a lot

okay this should be pretty easy

lmao IllegalArgumentException reminds me of that "illegal opinions" meme with Merkel

lol

@Jacob you're welcome

@ThisIsChris I'm doing chain rule in Calculus 1 and would like to know how to do the problem: cot^2(sinx)

@GDoctor
1. set `y = sin(x)`
2. the derivative of `cot^2(y)` is `-1/sin^2(y)`
3. so the derivative of `cot^2(sinx)` with respect to `x` is the derivative of `cot^2(y)`with respect to `x` which is `(-1/sin^2(y)) * (dy/dx)`
4. `dy/dx = cos(x)`
5. the derivative of `cot^2(sinx)` with respect to `x` is
`(-1/sin^2(y)) * (dy/dx)`
`(-1/sin^2(sin(x))) * (cos(x))`

@ThisIsChris Thank you so much.

@GDoctor You're welcome!

Anybody know how to calculate a MONTHLY average from QUARTERLY costs? I have to write a C++ program that does that...

@ThisIsChris

@GDoctor I'm not sure I understand the assignment. Since there's 3 months in a quarter then wouldn't the monthly average of a quarter be the quarterly costs divided by 3?

Anyone know how to transform a multivariate regression so that you can do a t test of B1 + 2B2 = 0 and B1 + B2 = 1? I already got it for B1 = B2

Base regression formula is Y = B0 + B1X1 + B2X2 + error

Can someone take a look at a Java assignment for me?

<@&435155896780324864>

<@&387091385075105804>

I'm supposed to write a get method for a hashtable. It seems way too simple so I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Are get methods for hashtables really that complex that this warrants an entire assignment?

Or am I overthinking it and this is actually really easy?

@Jacob In the future can you put this stuff into pastebin?

Yes

Jacob, you posted an essay about immigration a while back. I just read it recently and I have some feedback to help you improve your writing. I was thinking we could go through it via audio, or if you prefer, I can write it out.

Yes, I'll find some time

Can anyone explain how to create a cout statement in C++ that'll print a number array each time it's sorted?

@ThisIsChris perhaps?

<@&387091385075105804> ^^^

@GDoctor You want the array printed after sorting or before sorting?

I'm sad that my skills are never needed when I see the AE call. It's never something I have experience with. 😟

@micbwilli what are some of the topics you like?

Biology and Chemistry are mostly what I know.

@ThisIsChris the assignment calls for output after each "pass" through an array during a sort, (any kind of sort can be used).

@GDoctor OK that makes sense! what code do you have so far?
