Simulate the factorable probability

Now we will use the is_factorable function that we wrote in the previous exercise to check factorability of many quadratics.

Specifically, we will check every combination of a, b and c where each value is between 1 and 100, using a nested for loop.

Exercise instructions

  • Write a nested for loop, to loop each of a, b, and c from the values 1 through 100.
  • For each combination of a, b and c, check whether the quadratic is factorable.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

counter <- 0

# Nested for loop
for(___){
  for(___){
    for(___){
      # Check whether factorable
      if(___){
        counter <- counter + 1
      }
    }
  }
}

print(counter / 100^3)
