Calculate Physics Lab Data

Code to calculate physics lab data (2019-2020).

About

This repository contains my code, in Java, which I wrote to calculate data from my physics labs. For convenience, they can all be run from my repl.it.

Repository Navigation

Here is a quick guide to the Calculate Physics Lab Data repository. If you are looking for a specific file or want to know what each file is for, this should help you. Files are sorted in chronological order.
