:math:`\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}`

Write a straightforward program with variable names.
|
||
----------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
This math translates to Joy code in a straightforward manner. We are
|
||
going to use named variables to keep track of the arguments, then write
|
||
a definition without them.
|
||
|
||
``-b``
|
||
~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
b neg
|
||
|
||
``sqrt(b^2 - 4 * a * c)``
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
b sqr 4 a c * * - sqrt
|
||
|
||
``/2a``
|
||
~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
a 2 * /
|
||
|
||
``±``
|
||
~~~~~
|
||
|
||
There is a function ``pm`` that accepts two values on the stack and
|
||
replaces them with their sum and difference.

||

Putting Them Together
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
b neg b sqr 4 a c * * - sqrt pm a 2 * [/] cons app2
|
||
|
||
We use ``app2`` to compute both roots by using a quoted program
|
||
``[2a /]`` built with ``cons``.
|
||
|
||
Derive a definition.
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
Working backwards we use ``dip`` and ``dipd`` to extract the code from
|
||
the variables:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
b neg b sqr 4 a c * * - sqrt pm a 2 * [/] cons app2
|
||
b [neg] dupdip sqr 4 a c * * - sqrt pm a 2 * [/] cons app2
|
||
b a c [[neg] dupdip sqr 4] dipd * * - sqrt pm a 2 * [/] cons app2
|
||
b a c a [[[neg] dupdip sqr 4] dipd * * - sqrt pm] dip 2 * [/] cons app2
|
||
b a c over [[[neg] dupdip sqr 4] dipd * * - sqrt pm] dip 2 * [/] cons app2
|
||
|
||
The three arguments are to the left, so we can “chop off” everything to
|
||
the right and say it’s the definition of the ``quadratic`` function:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
define('quadratic == over [[[neg] dupdip sqr 4] dipd * * - sqrt pm] dip 2 * [/] cons app2')
|
||
|
||
Let’s try it out:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: ipython2
|
||
|
||
J('3 1 1 quadratic')
|
||
|
||
|
||
.. parsed-literal::
|
||
|
||
-0.3819660112501051 -2.618033988749895
|
||
|
||
|
||
If you look at the Joy evaluation trace you can see that the first few
|
||
lines are the ``dip`` and ``dipd`` combinators building the main program
|
||
by incorporating the values on the stack. Then that program runs and you
|
||
get the results. This is pretty typical of Joy code.
|
||
|
||

||
