Calculate Values Of A Function - C# Programming Exercise

In this C# programming exercise, you need to create a program that calculates and displays certain values of the function y = x² - 2x + 1, using integer numbers for x ranging from -10 to +10. This exercise provides an excellent opportunity to practice loops and basic mathematical operations in C#.

The program will iterate from x = -10 to x = 10, computing the corresponding value of y for each x and displaying it on the screen. This type of exercise also reinforces the concept of applying mathematical formulas in programming.

Sample Output: For each value of x, the program will display the corresponding y value in a format like this: 

 x = -10, y = 121 x = -9, y = 100 x = -8, y = 81 ... x = 10, y = 81
This exercise is an excellent way to practice for loops in C# and understand how to compute mathematical functions in programming.

Calculate Values Of A Function

 Objective

Write a C# program in C# to display certain values of the function y = x^2 - 2x + 1 (using integer numbers for x, ranging from -10 to +10)

 Write Your C# Exercise

using System;  // Import the System namespace to use basic classes like Console

class Program  // Define the main class of the program
{
    static void Main()  // The entry point of the program
    {
        // Iterate over integer values of x from -10 to 10
        for (int x = -10; x <= 10; x++)  // Start from x = -10 and loop until x = 10
        {
            // Calculate the value of the function y = x^2 - 2x + 1
            int y = (x * x) - (2 * x) + 1;  // Function formula: y = x^2 - 2x + 1

            // Display the value of x and the corresponding y
            Console.WriteLine($"For x = {x}, y = {y}");  // Output the result for the current value of x
        }
    }
}
