# CodeMirror: Ruby mode

# Code from http://sandbox.mc.edu/~bennet/ruby/code/poly_rb.html # # This program evaluates polynomials. It first asks for the coefficients # of a polynomial, which must be entered on one line, highest-order first. # It then requests values of x and will compute the value of the poly for # each x. It will repeatedly ask for x values, unless you the user enters # a blank line. It that case, it will ask for another polynomial. If the # user types quit for either input, the program immediately exits. # # # Function to evaluate a polynomial at x. The polynomial is given # as a list of coefficients, from the greatest to the least. def polyval(x, coef) sum = 0 coef = coef.clone # Don't want to destroy the original while true sum += coef.shift # Add and remove the next coef break if coef.empty? # If no more, done entirely. sum *= x # This happens the right number of times. end return sum end # # Function to read a line containing a list of integers and return # them as an array of integers. If the string conversion fails, it # throws TypeError.
