In this post, we will solve Area Under Curves and Volume of Revolving a Curve HackerRank Solution. This problem (Area Under Curves and Volume of Revolving a Curve) is a part of HackerRank Functional Programming language.

Task

Definite Integrals via Numerical Methods

This relates to definite integration via numerical methods.

Consider the algebraic expression given by:

(a1)x^b1 + (a2)x^b2 + (a3)x^b3 + . . . . . + (an)x^bn

For the purpose of numerical computation, the area under the curve y = f(x) between the limits a and b can be computed by the Limit Definition of a Definite Integral.

Here is some background about areas and volume computation.

Using equal subintervals of length = 0.001, you need to:

1. Evaluate the area bounded by a given polynomial function of the kind described above, between the given limits of L and R.
2. Evaluate the volume of the solid obtained by revolving this polynomial curve around the x-axis.

A relative error margin of 0.01 will be tolerated.

Input Format

The first line contains N integers separated by spaces, which are the values of a1, a2, . . . , aN.
The second line contains N integers separated by spaces, which are the values of b1, b2, . . . , bN.
The third line contains two space separated integers, L and R, the lower and upper range limits in which the integration needs to be performed, respectively.

Constraints

• -1000 <= a <= 1000
• -20 <= b <= 20
• 1 <= L <= R <= 20

Output Format

The first line should contain the area between the curve and the x-axis, bound between the specified limits.
The second line should contain the volume of the solid obtained by rotating the curve around the x-axis, between the specified limits.

Sample Input

1 2 3 4 5
6 7 8 9 10
1 4  

Explanation

The algebraic expression represented by:

(1)x⁶ + (2)x⁷ + (3)x⁸ + (4)x⁹ + (5)x¹⁰

We need to find the area of the curve enclosed under this curve, between the limits x = 1 and 4. We also need to find the volume of the solid formed by revolving this curve around the x-axis between the limits x = 1 and 4.

Sample Output

2435300.3
26172951168940.8

Scoring

All test cases are weighted equally. You need to clear all the tests in a test case.

Solution – Area Under Curves and Volume of Revolving a Curve – HackerRank Solution

Scala

val step = 0.001

def area(coefficients: List[Int], powers: List[Int], x: Double): Double = {
  val r = f(coefficients, powers, x)
  r * r * math.Pi
}

// This function will be used while invoking "Summation" to compute
// The area under the curve.
def f(coefficients: List[Int], powers: List[Int], x: Double): Double = {
  coefficients.zip(powers).map { case (c, p) => c * math.pow(x, p) }.sum
}

def summation(func: (List[Int], List[Int], Double) => Double, upperLimit: Int, lowerLimit: Int, coefficients: List[Int], powers: List[Int]): Double = {
  (BigDecimal(lowerLimit) to upperLimit by step).map(x => func(coefficients, powers, x.toDouble)).sum * step
}

// readLine() is deprecated in Scala 13, but it is called by HackerRank's predefined code.
// So it is added to fix the issue.
def readLine(): String = scala.io.StdIn.readLine()
