I have attached the problem that I am having. It is at the bottom of the page, where I am trying to find rms using a built in function. I’m getting an error with this (as seen in picture). Also I tried to install the package “signal” but also kept getting errors.
Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Jim:
I see a couple things immediately:
'sum' is the name of a function in Octave so you may get an error. You could try re-naming to 'Sum' to work around this.
To install the signal package, you will need to also install the 'control' package. So something like this from the octave command prompt:
pkg install -forge control signal
For harmmean, you will need:
pkg install -forge io statistics
This should allow it to continue:
N = 5
Sum = 0
Please enter numbers: 1
Please enter numbers: 2
Please enter numbers: 3
Please enter numbers: 4
Please enter numbers: 5
The Arithmetic mean is 3.00
The Quadratic mean is 3.32
The Harmonic mean is 2.19
arithmetic = 3
quadratic = 3.3166
harmonic = 2.1898
