Question

The "origin" of the cartesian plane in math is the point where x and y are both zero. Given a variable, origin of type Point-- a structured type with two fields, x and y, both of type double, write one or two statements that make this variable's field's values consistent with the mathematical notion of "origin".

Answer 1

Answer:

1. #include <iostream>
3. using namespace std;
5. struct Point{
6.    double x;
7.    double y;
8. };
10. int main()
11. {
12.    Point origin;
13.    origin.x = 0;
14.    origin.y = 0;
16.    return 0;
17. }

Explanation:

The solution code is written in C++.

Firstly, we create a data structure Point with two fields, x and y (Line 5 -8).

In the main program, declare an origin object with Point type (Line 12).

Set the x and y fields of origin object to zero using dot syntax (Line 13-14).
