Answer:
portability and simplicaity are the featues of napier bones
I'm pretty sure it's C) or D) because it seems those make the most sense because providing excitement does not matter if that is not their point, repeating a previous point is practically useless because that point has already been said.
I have a very good example of the program you need written on Python. You can use this (sorry for bad tabulation):
import math
import math
def main():
function = input("Enter a function f(x):\n")
x = 0
y = 0
for rows in range(10,-11,-1):
for col in range(-10,11,1):
x=col
roundfx = round(eval(function))
if roundfx == rows:
print("o", end="")
if rows==0 and col==0 and not rows == roundfx:
print("+", end="")
if col == 0 and not rows == 0 and not rows == roundfx:
print("|", end="")
if rows==0 and not col==0 and not rows == roundfx:
print("-", end="")
else:
if not rows == 0:
if not col == 0:
if not rows == roundfx:
print(" ", end="")
print()
main()
