    calculate the cost of total materials

    I am not sure, if I should add the width of the wood, I have thought about that. This is the code I ended up writing, I am considering if I should add the width bit for the wood and make new calculations, but I am not sure if I should complicate it that much, as I am doing it for someone else...

    calculate the cost of total materials

    yes, I have checked it, but it is wrong, as we all know that rooms are not 2d but 3 dimensional so the code is incorrect. But thank you very much as I did not know about this resource:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    calculate the cost of total materials

    wow, well I will be damned, cheers what can I say, I had the same train of thought as you had, but given that this is an end of term project for year 1, I do not believe they want to complicate that much. Thank you again

    calculate the cost of total materials

    Okay, thank you for all the help, I will leave the cost part at the end of the programme and try and ask the berk:ROFLMAO:, to clarify the problem. Also if you could please clarify what you meant by "if the question said what each m was then the question would be much clearer", you meant if...

    calculate the cost of total materials

    :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I was thinking the same, but the problem I had is that it says £6/m. If we supposed that it is indeed £6 per meter, how would I go about this? I think that I would need the height or rooms, as well as wood sizes length and width of said wood?

    calculate the cost of total materials

    I will do it like that and suppose that it is £6 per m^2, Normally for this to be right I would need the height of the rooms so I can calculate the volume of the rooms and then calculate how much materials I need?

    calculate the cost of total materials

    You got the last part right, I really can not figure it out how they created something like this. They do not mention anything about studs or windows or doors. So I guess they just want us to calculate the price of material for a 2m x 4m room

    calculate the cost of total materials

    I believe it is £6 per 1m linear lenght of wood this is the sentence in the problem "Wood prices have been set at £6.00 per meter" "5 new houses, all from wood and all uniform. Each house has 3 rooms, all with exactly the same dimensions, i.e. 2m x 4m"

    calculate the cost of total materials

    :))) By real world, I mean it is not a construction project or anything like that, it is something from a programming problem

    calculate the cost of total materials

    to be honest it is not, it is related to a programming problem, it asks me the following. If we build 5 houses out of wood all uniform with 3 rooms each, and they are 2m x 4m. Calculate the the total area the the price of the cost given that the price for wood is 6£ per meter. For the life of...

    calculate the cost of total materials

    Hello, I have just a random question If I have a house with 3 rooms and want to build it all from wood the dimensions of all rooms are 2m x 4m = 8m^2 and the price of wood is 6£ per meter do I just need to multiply 6£ x 8m^2? This is not a question related to anything in the real world
