Assignment for Discrete Math class, short for Discrete Structures.
This one uhm I don't remember exactly for what was written.
It was something about combinations or permutations, like: if we have 3 different signals, and every transmission is 1 µs long, how many messages may transmitted in x µs?
Very simple, all was needed was to apply:
long double lRes = pow(-1,sec)/3 + pow(2,sec)*2/3;
Here also file name was just a mere "hw5"
Download the executable: signals-combinations.exe
