Chapter 2, Problem 73E
Write a method called printDetails for a class that has a field of type String called name. The printDetai1s method should print out a string of the form "The name of this person is", followed by the value of the name field. For instance, if the value of the name field is "Helen", then printDetails would print:
The name of this person is Helen

Write a new method for the atom class called ision that will return true or false, depending upon whether the atom is an ion. An atom is an ion if it is charged (i.e., if the number of electrons ≠ the number of protons).
Write a class called Investment with fields called principal and interest. The constructor should set the values of those fields. There should be a method called value_after that returns the value of the investment after n years. The formula for this is p(1+i)ⁿ, where p is the principal, and i is the interest rate.
Write a compareTo method that compares two Song objects based on the artist, and title within artist. For example, given the following Songobjects:
"Glass Animals""Heat Waves"
"Elton John, Dua Lipa""Cold Heart"
"Adele""Easy on Me"
"Doja Cat""Kiss Me More"
"Adele""My Little Love"
They will be put in the following order:
"Adele""Easy on Me"
"Adele""My Little Love"
"Doja Cat""Kiss Me More"
"Elton John, Dua Lipa""Cold Heart"

- In Java, Use the Phone class as a baseline, and write a method isUSA. It should return true if the country code is 1 and false otherwise. Also expanding the Phone class, write a method that determines the location of an area code. It should return the name of the area code's city. For example, if cc = 1 and area code = 510 East Bay Area, 650 SF Peninsula, 415 San Francisco, 408 South Bay Area. For this assignment, use literal strings as return values.arrow_forwardWrite a Java method named check() that checks the validity of a password received as string parameter. To be valid, a password should contain at least: 3 letters, 2 digits, and 1 character from {‘-’, ‘_’}. If the password is valid the method returns true, otherwise it returns false. To test your method, write a main() method that enables the user to input a password as a string, removes eventual extra spaces from it, sends it to check(), and displays the returned decision (the password is valid or not). Hints: To check if a character c is a digit you can use Character.isDigit(c), and to check if it is a letter you can use Character.isLetter(c). Run Example 1: Enter a password to check (at least 2 digits, 3 letters, and one char (- or _)): p5t4_i The password is valid. Run Example 2: Enter a password to check (at least 2 digits, 3 letters, and one char (- or _)): i0z#-9k The password is not valid.arrow_forwardWrite a program that simulates the Magic 8 Ball game. The class should have a method that returns an answer at random. Test your class by outputting the answer several times.arrow_forward

- Write a method that turns some text into something Porky Pig would say. To do that, you just need to add "Bdap bdap bb " to before the given text. For example, if you called porkyPig("that's all folks!"), it would return "Bdap bdap bb that's all folks!" The method signature should be public String porkyPig(String something)arrow_forwardSuppose that a Scanner object contains a bunch of tokens all on a single line separated by spaces. For example: 100.5 30.4 pizza 56.8 1000.3 8.2 Also suppose that you have a particular item that you know the price of. Let’s use the following example: Kindle: 99.99 Write a static method: public static double priceIsRight(Scanner s, double price) that takes a Scanner and an item price as parameters and returns the bid that is closest to the item price but not greater than the item price. If all bids are greater than the price, return 0.0. If there are no bids (Scanner is empty) return 0.0. You can assume the Scanner is not null. In the above example. 56.8 should be returned, since it is the number that is closest to 99.99 but not over 99.99. Notice that there may be some invalid tokens in the Scanner's input. The above example has pizza as one of its tokens, which is clearly not a valid bid. Your method should throw these tokens away and not consider them as bids.
