Question

Is there a formula that takes n such that n is an integer that will return 0,1,0,1,0 ie f(0) = 0, f(1) = 1, f(2) = 0, etc?

Answer 1

sure

Answer 2

sin(n*pi/2) is a good start

0,1,0,-1,0,1,0,-1,...

Answer 3

but youd have to incorporate a control for those -1s

Answer 4

|sin(n*pi/2)| could work :)

Answer 5

sin^2(n*pi/2) as well

Answer 6

Maybe u could use (-1)^n somehow...

Answer 7

thought about that but that doenst help when 1 and -1 are both on the same "square"

Answer 8

or does it ...

Answer 9

i dont see why it couldnt work out, had to take a vote first lol

Answer 10

Thanks for help, was looking for a simplification of sin(nPI/2) when n is an int, but I don't think there is one
