I wrote down Lagrange method, Newton method, and obtain results that differ by 2 (both incorrect). I use Ruby (for big int) and obtain result, equal to Lagrange's one in C++. After (long double) conversions all results are equal but incorrect.
Test from the problem (N^3) passed successfully. What am I doig wrong?

Re: Problem 101. What am I doing wrong?
I'm pretty sure all of the BOPs fit within long integers and don't need to be converted to double. In fact, the entire question can be done with integer math.

Re: Problem 101. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you, Quilan.
But really I forget last 11th BOP. All my answers are correct now.
Mistakes, like I did, are repugnant-est-est-est.

2 x 2 = 4 = true

Re: Problem 101
Hi, I'm experiencing some problems with problem 101. My program correctly calculates the FITs for the n^3 sequence but doesn't pass on the tenth degree polynomial. Can anyone confirm the values of my first three FITs:
1
1365
130813
1
1365
130813

Re: Problem 101
No need for a reply to my earlier post. Found my error, my FIT values were Java doubles and I was incurring a rounding error. Problem now solved.
