Hello, I start with Lua and I try to display my result with 4 decimal places without success. Thank you Fabrice
\startluacode function Binomial(n,k,p) if k > n then return nil end if k > n/2 then k = n - k end
numer, denom = 1, 1 for i = 1, k do numer = numer * ( n - i + 1 ) denom = denom * i end return (numer/denom) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k) end
\stopluacode
\starttext \ctxlua{print(string.format("%g",Binomial(100,60,0.25)))} \stoptext
Hi Fabrice,
string.format behaves more or less as C printf. You probably need to specify %.4g in 1st argument. Hope this helps
Best Joseph

\starttext \ctxlua{print(string.format("%g",Binomial(100,60,0.25)))} \stoptext
the % should be \letterpercent
btw, use locals for numer and denom
you can also do this:
\startluacode function document.Binomial(n,k,p) if k > n then return nil end if k > n/2 then k = n - k end local numer, denom = 1, 1 for i=1,k do numer = numer * ( n - i + 1 ) denom = denom * i end context("%0.5g",(numer/denom) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)) end \stopluacode
\starttext \ctxlua{document.Binomial(100,60,0.25)} \stoptext
in general
context("format",....)
is a bit more powerful than using format
Hi Hans, Your code runs perfectly, thanks. However, if I replace % with \letterpercent, my code does not run
\ctxlua{print(string.format("\letterpercent g",Binomial(100,60,0.25)))}
Thank you Fabrice

because print prints to the console
