5.0    Conclusions

5.1    Mathematical Models

The mathematical models used in the computer program were crucial to the function of the project. They are crucial because they create the dance routines. The “Hailstone Theory” creates the random sequence of numbers that are then placed into the logarithmic function, making the numbers to end in the correct range not exceeding the number of eight counts in the original dance. No matter what number within the specified range is inputted, all the numbers in the output sequence are equal to or less than the total number of eight counts in the original dance routine.

5.2    Computer Program

The computer program is a success because it generates the output needed for this project. Team 082 is pleased to have the program working correctly and as planned. There are 51 different dance routines that can be created for each of the four dance programs in The Rhythm of Hailstones. A total of 204 different dance routines are produced using this project.

5.3    Results

The project created adds more technology to dance by employing computers in an innovative manner. The choreographer is able to turn on the computer and open a computer program that will build a fresh dance routine for them in no time. The dance routine outputted is guaranteed to be different for each initial number used in the computer program. This happens because the mathematical models used in the project output a unique sequence for each starting number entered. Choreographers can use this computer program to help construct different dance routines in a short amount of time.

5.4    Word Processor Program

Microsoft Word Processor is the program that was used to write the final report for The Rhythm of Hailstones. It kept everything in a nice fashion.
