Come up with test data set #12

Open gifflen opened 13 years ago

drinne commented 13 years ago

OK there is a test set in the book - I'm working with the current download on my JGrasp versions initial x = 7392000 initial y = o initial vx = 0 initial vy = 7347 meters/sec

each complete orbit should take slightly more than 106 seconds

By test data set I meant come up with different initial values for x, y ,vx, and vy making sure to use boundary values. Then know the expedited results and compare them to our programs output.

Mike Maguire and I only did that with the one set compared it with off-line calculations until we got the pattern right and the numbers from the program and the calculation matched. It was the only test data we had time to work on (I can't do the heavy math on my own)

I'm still stumbling around with the GIT interface - there are really deep features on it but I'm still having trouble finding and reading things consistently and not sure how to ( or whether I actually want to ) edit the existing code.

It's an hour before deadline - and I would normally defer to the technical lead at this point but the corrections for the actual size of the earth's radius and the correction on line 189 in Satellite.java were the two things I would say should be incorporated.

Yeah we were under a bit of a time crunch. I just wanted to make sure full testing was going. Thank you for taking the time to do what you did.

I'm still doing a bit of stumbling with GIT as well. That's usually how I end up learning something, so hopefully we'll get it figured out.

Thanks to everyone for bearing with me in getting this up and running. The learning curve can seem steep and especially so when we have dead lines like we did on Thursday. If you hit any walls or something doesn't make sense send me a message and I'll get back to you asap.
