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.
This exercise is part of the course
Probability Puzzles in R
Exercise instructions
- Write a nested
forloop, to loop each ofa,b, andcfrom the values 1 through 100. - For each combination of
a,bandc, check whether the quadratic is factorable.
