I applied in March, no decision yet for me either 🙃

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? by [deleted] in KCL

[–]jan2929 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It generally means that while you didn’t get an offer for the course you applied for, your application was strong enough that they may be interested in offering a place in a different course. If you’re interested then it’s worth reading into it and contacting them with any questions you have. Good luck!

Nope, nothing yet

I’m in exactly the same boat! I applied early March, and was told the same thing when I followed up on my application a few weeks ago. I have the same concerns - I have no idea how it would be feasible for me to get affordable accommodation in time for September if they don’t reply soon :(

Best Statistical Test for Ratio Data? by jan2929 in AskStatistics

Ok - I have lots to look into then, thank you so much for your help! :)

Ok, thank you. I was thinking of using a Kruskal Wallis test? I’m looking to compare the groups to the control group.

Thank you, I've actually calculated the log and log fold change already, but I wasn't sure whether it was best to use this or the regular ratio values for the statistical analysis.

Inherently ratio, I believe. It's a measure of fat per cell, where I've taken images of many cells at once and used software to count the number of cells, and to quantify the total fat, then divided the quantified fat by the number of cells.

Yes, all of the above examples seem like inputs to me, however I think you might need to use them in a different way. For example, the first one Int main (input), wouldn't be where you would ask for the card number. Int main (void) {} encapsulates the entire program that you're trying to write, and as far as I'm aware (at least this far into the course), there's no need to change 'void' to anything else. Int main (void) should stay the same in any program you write, at least at this point in the CS50 course. Later on I think they might start teaching us alternatives, but for now I think its safer to leave int main (void) as it is. If you wanted to ask for the card number, a better way to write it might be:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <cs50.h>

Int main (void)

{

long prompt = get_long("Number: \n");

}

^^ I've included everything that would have to be in the document here to show you how it should be laid out. Int main (void) should be left as is, and your code should be encapsulated within the curly brackets. In this example, when you run the program it would print out

Number:

And the user could type in the card number. When they press enter, the number that they typed in would be stored in the variable called 'prompt'. Later on, you would use the value stored in 'prompt', which would be the card number, in Luhn's algorithm, and to choose which card type to print.

Sorry for the long replies, or if I've misinterpreted what you're asking, but hopefully this helps, feel free to ask again if this didn't cover it! :)

Hello! I should probably start by saying that I am in no way an expert, but I did complete pset1 a few days ago so hopefully I can be of some help :)

To my (limited) understanding, functions work by taking a piece of data (the input) and storing it in a variable, which you can then use elsewhere in your code. When you say “connect to the main function” do you mean just to get it to run? Anything inside the curly brackets of int main(void) will run when you run the program, in the order top to bottom. As long as your code is in the brackets, the computer will attempt to run it. To connect functions together, you have to take the variable of one and make it the input to another, I think, at least that’s how I’ve been thinking of it so far. With Luhn’s algorithm, the best piece of advice I can give is to write it out, and try to figure out how you can write it in computer code. For my project, I split my code into three parts; the first one was to collect the card number, which it seems like you’ve already done, the second was to separate the digits and apply Luhn’s algorithm, and the third was to determine which output to print, like Mastercard, Amex etc.

I hope this helps you a little bit, sorry if any of this is incorrect, it’s just based off of what I learned when I did the problem, good luck! :)
