Question
The main question is the entire page labeled Program #1, the little screenshot is for extra steps. The program has to be written in Java.

Transcribed Image Text:### Lab 3 Directions (Linked Lists)
#### Program #1
1. **Show PolynomialADT Interface**
2. **Create the PolyNodeClass** with the following methods:
- Default constructor
- Overloaded constructor
- Copy constructor
- `setCoefficient`
- `setExponent`
- `setNext`
- `getCoefficient`
- `getExponent`
- `getNext`
3. **Create the PolynomialDataStrucClass** with the following methods:
- Default constructor
- Overloaded constructor
- Copy constructor
- `isEmpty`
- `setFirstNode`
- `getFirstNode`
- `addPolyNodeFirst` (PolyNode is created and set to the beginning of polynomial)
- `addPolyNodeLast` (addPolyNode: PolyNode is set to the end of polynomial)
- `addPolynomials`
- `toString`
4. **Create the PolynomialDemoClass**:
- Instantiate and initialize PolynomialDataStrucClass objects `p1`, `p2`, `p3`, `p4`
- Add terms to the polynomials (pass 2 arguments to the method: coefficient and exponent)
- Example: `p1.addPolyNodeLast(4, 3);`
- Print out:
- `p1`, `p2` and sum of the polynomials
- `p3`, `p4` and sum of the polynomials
**Use:**
- `p1 = 4x^3 + 3x^2 - 5`
- `p2 = 3x^5 + 4x^4 + x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x^1 + 2`
**AND**
- `p3 = -5x^0 + 3x^2 + 4x^3`
- `p4 = -4x^0 + 4x^3 + 5x^4`
This lab will guide you through creating and manipulating polynomials using linked lists, reinforcing your understanding of data structures and object-oriented programming principles.

### Programming Tasks
- **Write a Polynomial class:**
- This class should have methods for:
- Creating a polynomial.
- Reading a polynomial.
- Adding a pair of polynomials.
- **Adding Polynomials:**
- To add two polynomials, traverse both lists.
- If a particular exponent value is present in either polynomial, it should also be present in the resulting polynomial unless its coefficient is zero.
By leveraging the linked list representation for polynomials, the polynomial operations can be performed efficiently and in an organized manner that aligns with data structure principles.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/d3ed3f65-79b2-4bdf-866b-dcdc9cf257bd/d0941e73-239b-4a25-837a-94eaa94cfa6d/oe5bfp_thumbnail.jpeg)
Transcribed Image Text:### Understanding Polynomials as Linked Lists
A polynomial can be represented as a linked list, where each node, referred to as a polyNode, contains the coefficient and the exponent of a term of the polynomial.
For example, the polynomial \(4x^3 + 3x^2 - 5\) would be represented as the linked list:
#### Detailed Diagram Explanation
- The first node contains:
- Coefficient: \( 4 \)
- Exponent: \( 3 \)
This represents the term \( 4x^3 \). The node points to the next node in the list.
- The second node contains:
- Coefficient: \( 3 \)
- Exponent: \( 2 \)
This represents the term \( 3x^2 \). This node points to the next node as well.
- The third node contains:
- Coefficient: \( -5 \)
- Exponent: \( 0 \) (since \( x^0 \) is \( 1 \))
This represents the term \( -5 \). This node does not point to any further node as it is the last term in the polynomial.
