我试图通过梯形方法整合多项式函数(我可以在以后更改为更精确的方法)。我的代码并不完美,我想知道为什么它不起作用。我遇到的一个问题是while循环没有结束。到目前为止,我的代码如下。

    def Integrate_Trapezoidal(x_LoBound,x_HiBound,N):
        """
        INPUT   :
                    x_LoBound   --      lower bound of integral
                    x_HiBound   --      upper bound of integral
                    N           --      number of slices (N --> inf ==> integral)
        OUTPUT  :
                                --      approximate value of integral

我已经去查看你的代码并找到了我觉得有用的东西,检查了我下载的几个大学讲义。正如你在评论中所说的,有很多额外的列表是不必要的,所以我在那里减少了很多代码。

特别是,如果假设每个系数从最低到最高顺序依次添加,并且为任何不存在的系数添加0,那么您只需要知道列表中元素的编号x的力量。

我还移动了f()的定义来创建帮助函数solve_point(),它的工作方式和我想的一样。特别是,内置sumenumerateenumerate遍历coeff_list并返回计数以提供权力(0向上)。

get_coefficients()来自您原来的Integrate_Trapezoidal(),但更专注于一件事 - 这就是为什么它会在最后返回CoeffList进行最终处理。

def solve_point(x, coeff_list):
    return sum(coeff * x**e for e, coeff in enumerate(coeff_list))


def get_coefficients():
    CoeffList = []
    while True:
        # GO FROM a = ___ TO b = ___ TO c = ___ ...
        coeff = float(input("What is the coefficient of the next-order term:  "))
        CoeffList.append(coeff)
        if coeff == 0:
            YESorNO = raw_input("Is that the last term of the polynomial: [Y/N]  ")
            if YESorNO.upper() == 'Y':
                return CoeffList[:-1]

lo, hi, n = 0, 2, 6
coeff_list = get_coefficients()

ht = (hi - lo) / float(n)
ss = 0.5 * solve_point(lo, coeff_list) + 0.5 * solve_point(hi, coeff_list)
for num in range(1,n):
    ss += solve_point(lo + num*ht, coeff_list)
checkanswer = ht*ss


print(checkanswer)

我认为是对的 - 我做了几次检查。希望它可能有助于你的重写!如果您有任何不起作用的示例,那么最好知道,或者您可以看到任何错误......
