Odd Calculator Issue - Wrong Answer??

A friend of mine was working on something yesterday afternoon and used his original iphone calculator to check 197/14.......the calc returned 1. I tried the same on my 3g and it returned a 1 for me too. In fact we both tried several times during the afternoon with the same result.
Today I checked again and it returned the correct answer..........14.0714286.
Seems odd to have intermittent "wrong" answers and definitely makes me wary of trusting calculator for anything. Any ideas?

Computers are usually deterministic, so the most likely reason is that you both made an entry error yesterday.

Calculator gives wrong answer

Imac 2,7 GHz Core i5. Mavericks updated. Calculator 10.8. I enter 10+10/2 and get 15. I enter 10+10= and get 20. I then divide result by two and get correct answer-10. But. Calculator broke the result (20) into 10+10 then divided by 2. (See entry 3 in Paper Tape). Simple 20 divided by 2 computes the correct answer-10. See Screen Capture. Any thoughts.

The addition button is working, but i cant seem to make minus and multiply button work, they get wrong answer when i use them.. what could bee the problem with my code

Sorry, but I don't see a simple fix in this code here (Hopefully I'm wrong and someone else will see this, but I don't) Because of this, I recommend that you fully scrap this code and start over from square one. I don't think that you really "see" your logic here. To help you see what you are trying to do, you need to separate your logic from your GUI. Try to build a non-gui calculator that works via simple console menu. Once you get this working, then use this code to create a GUI calculator.

Formula calculation showing wrong data.

Hi All,
I have an issue in the formula calculation at BEx.
I have a formula2 whose values is formula1/RKF * Constant.
formula2=formula1/RKF * Constant.
Formula1    formual2        RKF             constant
73.00          25.63            80.00         28
The error is the actual value of formula2 to be a
     formula2 = 73.00/80.00 * 28
                  =25.33
But in report result it is displaying as 25.63.
for some different values it is showing very different result.
can any one tell me how to round of this value to avoid confusion
regards,
santosh.

Santosh,
rounding off the result will not solve your problem. In your scenario, the actual result is 25.33 and rounding it off will be 25.
Now BI is showing you a value of 25.63 and rounding it off will give you 26. This will still give you the wrong answer.
You can go to the properties for the formula and in the display properties, you can change it 0 decimal places instead of 2. This is just a interim solution.

Sameer

Ranch Billing, the excise condition type JMOD calculation is wrong

Hi
I wish to know that in case of Branch Billing, the excise condition type calculation is wrong!!
I am surprised and unable to know how it could be?
In billing document display (T.code VF03) , Out of 3 Line items, Basic Excise Duty of 2 line items/ Materials were wrongly calculated.
i.e. In Item level Condition Overview---> the excise condition type JMOD --> details -->
Amount                   10.000 %
Cond.base value            79,077.85 INR
Condition value             5,733.14 INR
                                                                                Alt.calc.type   355
Ideally, It must be 7907.85 INR instead of 5733.14 INR wrong value.
Please help me to know the possible reason.
Thanking you.
PP

Check the condtion value in condition type UTXJ . If the JMOD value is 10% of UTXJ then assessable value should have been maintained for the Material and Plant combination in J1ID. This is due to Routine 351 maintined in pricing procedure for the condition type UTXJ

Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
iWeb
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Safari

If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\

Essbase Calculation issues from version 6 to 7

Hi does any one know are there any calculation issue with essbase BSO cacl engine from version 6 to 7. Cube which calculates fine on 6 verison never ends to finish on version 7, does any one have ideas about number of max generations and levels possible under dense dimension in verison 7

Not sure if it was a 6.5.1 to 7.1.5 issue, or if it was that 6.5.1 was on Win2K and 7.1.5 is on Solaris 5.9. But, I had one calc script that for total company on Windows and 6.5.1 ran in about 2 1/2 minutes, but same calc on same outline on Solaris and 7.1.5 ran in over 2 hours.
Hyp support was able to offer some suggestions on Unix settings, and some undocumented script features that got the runtime down to around 10 minutes, but didn't get any farther than that.
Luckily for me there also was some functions that were not resolving correctly in the script so I had to take the functions out (turned a 100 line script into an 800 line script), and wouldn't you know it that fixed the slow run time as well.

Odd Reporting Issue (ENTERPRISE)

I have a client with some users experiencing a rather odd reporting issue. The report runs fine, but only shows values for the totals and not the line items that make up the total.
For example, when I run the report (logged in as admin as well as under their ID), I see:
Net Sales 1,234
Cost Of Sales (1,111)
Gross Margin 123
When they log in on their machine, they see:
Net Sales
Cost Of Sales
Gross Margin 123
Very odd. I figured maybe it was an application setting, but the INI didn't look off anywhere particular.
They are running Enterprise 6.3.1 (yeah, insert comment here on the upgrade needed).
Any thoughts???

Check their Effective rights, and reset them, that has worked out for me. Otherwise, try copying the user and paste it as a new user and retest; I had to delete users and recreate them to correct problems of this nature.

Able to advance past question with wrong answer

The following applies to a multiple choice question in Captivate 3.0.1 Build 589. You are able to advance through a question even if you have selected the wrong answer by doing the following:
Answer a question incorrectly. A box saying "Try Again" pops up.
Press the previous button on the Captivate navigation bar to go to the previous slide.
Press the next button on the Captivate navigation bar to advance to the question slide. The incorrect answer is still selected.
Press the next button on the Captivate navigation bar while the incorrect answer is still selected.
Captivate advances, even though you have not answered the question correctly.
This is a major issue for me for two reasons. A) It allows learners to advance without demonstrating that they learned what we are trying to teach them, and B) It actually misinforms learners by letting them advance with the wrong answer selected, so they may actually believe that what they answered is correct.
Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone have any ideas how I can fix it?
Thanks very much for your help,
Marc

Marc,
Do you know what wrong answer options you have selected? If you do not want the user to advance when they select a wrong answer, you can make sure they do not. On the question slides of interest, go to Edit Question. Select Options. Under "If wrong answer" section, select Infinite attempts. Now the user will not be able to advance until he/she gets the answer correct. The only side note on this is the user will get the Incorrect Answer message only one time. After that there are no response message until the correct answer is chosen. Hope this helps.

Why java gives wrong answer

float f=40.3f;
System.out.println(f%4);
The answer for above must be 0.3 but java gives 0.29999924
WHY????
(This answer is ok for small calculations but it may give wrong answers for large calculations)

float f=40.3f;
System.out.println(f%4);

WHY????
(This answer is ok for small calculations but it may
give wrong answers for large calculations)Use BigDecimal with MathContext or roll your own Fraction class- this way any repeating decimal is represented exactly.

Reviewing Slides On Wrong Answer?

When in questions is there a way of reviewing previous slides when a wrong answer is given; for example:
A standard presentation of 50 slides is viewed and then candidates are taken to the question slides
If question 1 is answered correctly it moves onto question 2
if question 2 is answered incorrectly the candidate is then taken taken to the relevant slide (say slide 30) and returned to question 2 for another attempt.
The only way I have managed to do this so far is to do a slight workaround by changing the way the reporting works i.e. duplicating the relevant reiew slides and putting them after the question slides. Unfortunately this means the only way I can record their scores is to show quiz attempt not the native scoring results because on each review (out of the quiz) it resets the scores and shows an overall quiz fail for each wrong answer. This obviously isn't the correct way of reporting quiz scores i.e.
Number of questions set
Incorrect answers
Correct answers
Percentage
Pass/Fail
This means that using this workaround I'm not getting the level of reporting normally available
So my question is simply, is there a proper way I can record the correct scores and still retain the ability to review wrong answers? This approach encourages a pro-active way to learn instead of penalising people for incorrect answers and allows them to learn without having to sit through a long presentation more than once - hence me wanting keep this style and be able to get full featured reporting.
I apologise if I'm being a little long-winded in my explanation or indeed if I'm missing something pretty basic with the software.
Many thanks in advance for anyone that may be able to help me with this
Kind regards
Martyn

Hello Martyn
Do not know if this has anything to do with etiquette, just did not know if you were asking me or the other user more help.
As we both explained: with the Question slides that are in CP (will call them the default Quiz slides) this will not be that easy. You will have to give a lot of attempts for the Quiz to the user to make this possible. There is no way to change the system variables that store the score (such as cpQuizInfoTotalProjectPoints). If you want to realize your workflow you need to construct the Question slides yourself. That is why I offered some articles I published about this subject in CP5.
You are not the first to ask for this kind of workflow, plan to work out an example but that will not be done today because of other priorities (some exams to be graded are waiting for me). The idea in steps is:
Create your question slides using non-interactive objects like text captions, images and interactive ones buttons, text entry or click boxes (that get a score); this will not be possible for all kind of Question types, dragging p.e. as for matching or sequence questions is not possible, hotspot is possible.
Be sure that all slides (to be reviewed before giving a second answer after an incorrect answer) are in the quizzing range (between first scored 'thing' and the score slide)
On incorrect answer, create an advanced action that jumps to the slide(s) to be reviewed; on finishing those slides have an action that returns them to the question slide.
On re-entering the question slide, re-initialize the score (to 0 if there is no 'penalty' because of the review) so that the user can answer again.
Is this the workflow that you want? Which kind of question slides are you using? Is there a 'penalty' if the review possibility is used, I mean is the score that can be obtained lower than the first one?

Captivate 4 - Go back a screen and Wrong answer wont pick up

Captivate 4 is driving me mad !
Got a large course in Cap 4, system training, theres various click area interactions.
If i preview the slides in Captivate or publish it i get the same bug...
I'm asked to click on a button, i click away and get the wrong answer feedback. All fine, i click on the button and i move to the next screen.
If i then click on back to go to the previous slide, if i try to click away to get the wrong answer it never comes up. The hotspot is there so if i click on the button which its over i can go forward. But for some reason the wrong answer feedback never appears a second time.
I've deleted it, added a new one, same as before, just W/A feedback, checked to 'infinite attempts' but it only seems to appear once. If i go back to the page and get the wrong answer nothing !
Got a major deadline coming up soon, dont expect this basic bug to be appearing, never had these problems in Cap 3.
Arrgh. Any ideas ?

Not sure that I can help on this, but I have a general clue.
In general, you must go forward to go backward when scoring. The <BACK button is not what I am referring to. Try an interim slide that is AFTER your scored interaction. It might provide a message like: Thank you for trying, but your answer was not correct on the first try. Click Continue to review that concept again... CONTINUE
The Continue button is the link back with the GoTo feature of the button.
You can also GoTo slides before the interaction to prep them.
I am not sure about this for interactions (it is true for Quizzes)... Use Must take Quiz to Continue should be enabled for Quizzes in the global settings.
Hope this helps

Resetting Wrong Answers only in a Drag and Drop Interaction

Hello All,
What I would like to see in the interaction is -
Learner drags items to a specific location
clicks submit to check answers
only the wrong answers reset to the original screen location
feedback displays
Learner trys again and repeats until all items are in the correct location.
Is this scenario possible with the drag and drop? I can get everything but the "only the wrong answers reset" to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Kelli

Not possible. Same as for normal question slides: Reset will reset everything. You can have the wrong answers getting back immediately, but it will not wait for Submit in that case.
