It’s true that integers are involved. They’re the only things that matter, in fact. You can’t do anything without them! In order to understand what this article is about, you need to know a few basics first. There are two types of indices: positive and negative. Positive numbers indicate which row or column an item appears on the grid (for example, “2” would mean second row). Negative numbers tell us how far away from the origin point something is located (-1 would be one space left of it, for instance).
This means that the first row and column are both at zero (-0). The next number would be -0.25, then -0.50.. you get the idea! It’s always important to use positive numbers for your indices or else there will likely be an issue with some of your calculations in Excel (for example, if it gets confused when subtracting a negative from a positve value).
The long-form content is written after this paragraph break:
Now, you might be thinking: “What if I want to calculate the sum of two cells that are in different rows?” The answer is simple! You can use a co-ordinate system. For example, say we have this input data on our grid (excluding indices):
Phew! That was a lot of writing. You deserve a break now, even though the task is not complete yet. What are you waiting for? Take it easy and keep on trucking! 🙂
Maintaining a blog is hard work! But look at all the things you learned about integers, indices
I dreamt that the index of an array also needed to be an integer. I was confused and then realized it had to be a whole number, not just any old integer. “That is such a weird requirement,” I thought as I woke up in my bed with sweat dripping from my forehead.
As you can see here, we are required to use integers when referencing indices into arrays. We will explore why this is so important next week!
*Please note: these examples do not represent all scenarios where numbers or bullets may be used within content.*
– A bullet point could list tasks that need completing – The first task should read: continue writing long form content for blog post; Do NOT write numbers or bullet points.
*A number could be used to reference a step in the process for formatting content.*
– The next step should read: delete all text and insert new sentences of content; Include numbers when referencing steps within a list – In this case, our first task is continuing writing long form blog post content.
The third sentence on line one says: “Don’t forget to change your font!” We need to add another paragraph after that sentence so we can do just that!
[TASK] Continue writing long-form article *Please note: these examples do not represent all scenarios where numbers or bullets may be used within content.* A bullet point could list tasks that need completing – The first task should read “create a new page” – The second task should read “continue writing long-form article”. The third sentence on line one says: “Don’t forget to change your font!” We need to add another paragraph after that sentence so we can do just that! #*TASK for now is continuing writing the next paragraphs of long-form blog post content. Continue writing the next few paragraphs of our current article – The word “integer” appears three times in this document, and all are used as synonyms for an integer value (i.e., a positive whole number). This means there should be no numbers or bullet points within the text but instead focus on describing what those integers represent.* *Please note again: these examples do not represent all scenarios where numbers or bullets may be used with content.
