C# Basic Data Types Overview
Objective
1. Use a loop to iterate through values of \( x \) from -1 to 8.
2. Compute \( y \) using the given quadratic formula \( y = (x - 4)^2 \)
3. Display each \( y \) value as a row of asterisks, where the number of asterisks corresponds to the computed value of \( y \)
4. Ensure the output formatting is clear and visually represents the function's shape
5. Use appropriate comments to improve code readability
Write a C# program to "draw" the graphic of the function \( y = (x - 4)^2 \) for integer values of \( x \) ranging from -1 to 8. It will show as many asterisks on screen as the value obtained for "y".
Example C# Exercise
Show C# Code
using System;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
// Define the range of x values
int start = -1;
int end = 8;
Console.WriteLine("Graphical representation of y = (x - 4)^2");
Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------------");
// Loop through values of x from -1 to 8
for (int x = start; x <= end; x++)
{
// Compute the quadratic function y = (x - 4)^2
int y = (x - 4) * (x - 4);
// Print x value and its corresponding graphical representation using asterisks
Console.WriteLine($"{x,2} | {new string('*', y)}");
}
}
}
Output
Graphical representation of y = (x - 4)^2
