Chapter 15.1, Problem 8SCP

Explanation of Solution

Definition of “max” and “min” methods:

//definition of "min" method

public int min()

{

  //check "size" is equal to 0

  if (size == 0)

  {

  //throw an error message

  throw new IllegalStateException();

  }

  /*declare and initialize the value to the variable*/

  int minValue = elementData[0];

  //iterate "i" until it reaches "size" value

for (int i = 1; i < size; i++)

  {

/*call the "min" method and store it in a variable*/

  minValue = Math.min(minValue, elementData[i]);

  }

  //return the value

  return minValue;

}

//definition of "max" method

public int max()

{

  //check "size" is equal to 0

  if (size == 0)

  {

  //throw an error message

  throw new IllegalStateException();

  }

  /*declare and initialize the value to the variable*/

  int maxValue = elementData[0];

  //iterate "i" until it reaches "size" value

  for (int i = 1; i < size; i++)

  {

/*call the "max" method and store it in a variable*/

  maxValue = Math...
