Inspiration
I wanted to make summations in both CS and partially Calculus easier for myself while also understanding the process for making them better.
What it does
Calculates the values of the sums with fixed bounds.
How I built it
Using the language I know best - Java, and coded the basic sums first, and then pulled on some of my stack experience to make input parser that I used to evaluate complex summations. Then I implemented all the test cases covering basically all parts of the program.
Challenges I ran into
I joined a team first, but it fell apart, so I had to quickly come up with a solo project and do it.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Finishing something for once and participating in my first hackathon to learn how it works.
What I learned
How hackathons work, as well as refreshing myself on Java since not coding anything meaningful since the last semester.
What's next for Summation Calculator
I might possibly expand the functionality of the program to include variable bounds and convergence tests for infinite series, though I am not sure.
