Question
Write a method called kthLargest that accepts an integer k and an array a as its parameters and returns the element such that k elements have greater or equal value. If k = 0, return the largest element; if k = 1, return the second-largest element, and so on. For example, if the array passed contains the values [74, 85, 102, 99, 101, 56, 84] and the integer k passed is 2, your method should return 99 because there are two values at least as large as 99 (101 and 102). Assume that 0 # k , a.length. (Hint: Consider sorting the array or a copy of the array first.)

- I have to write a method that removes the middle element if the array length is odd or the middle two elements if the length is even. I have the array in the main method, which I include below. Can someone help me with the code for then method? Thanks. import java.util.Arrays; public class lab62e2{public static void main(String[] args){int[] array = {2, 9, 1, 4, 5, 10, 8, 12, 3, 6};for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++){System.out.print(array[i] + " ");}System.out.println();} removeMiddle(array);} public static void removeMiddle(int[] array) {arrow_forwardImplement getArrayElmsInRange Method Details: getArrayElemsInRange public static int[] getArrayElemsInRange(int[] array, int lower, int upper) Returns an array with values in the range defined by lower (inclusive) and upper (inclusive). Feel free to use the getCountInRange method during the implementation of this method (See below). Parameters: array - integer array lower - lower limit upper - upper limit Returns: array with values in the range or empty array Throws: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if array is null or lower is greater than upper. Any error message is fine (e.g., "Invalid parameters(s)") getCountInRange Method: class Main { // this function will return the number elements in the given range public static int getCountInRange(int[] array, int lower, int upper) { int count = 0; // to count the numbers // this loop will count the numbers in the range for (int i…arrow_forwardWrite the method printTail() method that accepts an array of integers and an integer index as parameters and prints all the array elements starting from the index passed. For example if printTail(x,5) is invoked, it should print all the elements of the array x starting at x[5].arrow_forward
- Write a method that takes a rectangular two-dimensional array of type int. The method returns true if the sum of the even elements of the parameter array are larger than the sum of the odd elements, otherwise the method returns false. public static boolean sum(int[]0 in) Taken array Result 1 -3 17 5 -2 30 true 1 3 -1 -1 -3 -4 7 -1 10 false -1 3 -4 15arrow_forwardWrite a static method named "bigBeforeSmall" that accepts an array of Strings as a parameter and rearranges its elements so that longer Strings appear before shorter Strings. For example, if the following array is passed to your method: String[] numbers = { "one", "twelve", "three", "four", "fourteen", "six" }; Then after the method has been called, one acceptable ordering of the elements would be: ["fourteen", "twelve", "three", "four", "one", "six" ] The exact order of the elements does not matter, so long as all longer Strings appear before all shorter Strings. Another acceptable order would be: ["fourteen", "twelve", "three", "four", "six", "one" ] Do not make any assumptions about the length of the array or the range of values it might contain. For example, the array might contain empty Strings (length zero), or all Strings could have the same length. You may assume that the array is not null (empty). Hint: This is actually a sorting problem. In BubbleSort you tested pairs…arrow_forwardWrite a method swapArrayEnds() that swaps the first and last elements of its array parameter. Ex: sortArray = {10, 20, 30, 40} becomes {40, 20, 30, 10}. The array's size may differ from 4. new code can only be added between existing code. as seen in image.arrow_forward
