int n = a;
while (n > 0)
{
if (n % 2 == 0) // n is even

n = n / 2;
}
else if (n == 1) { return 1; }
else { n = 3 * n + 1; }
}
return 0;
}

Here is a recursive method:
public static int mystery(int n, int i) {
if(n == 1) return i;
else if(n % 2 == 0) return mystery(n/2, i+1);
else return mystery(3*n + 1, i+1);
}
What is the return value of the following call?
mystery(3,0);
Consider the below method which computes the value x. Specifically, x = (a*b)/c, based on inputs a, b, and c.
This function have several problems.
public int computeX (int a, int b, int c){ int x = (a*b)/c;
Rewrite the method to fix these errors. return x;}
Given an integer N, implement a Static method 'solution' with return type as 'void' in class 'ProblemSolution' displays N for N times.
Input 7
Output 7 7 7 7 7 7 7
Where,
There must be single space between 2 numbers.
There should not any space after the last number.
Assume that,
N is within the range [0 to 10000].

- The nth harmonic number is defined non-recursively as H(n) = 1+1/2+1/3+1/4+⋯+1/n Come up with a recursive definition and use it to guide you to write a method definition for a double-valued method named “harmonic” that accepts an int parameter n and recursively calculates and returns the nth harmonic number.

An N x N unit matrix is a matrix of N rows and N columns where all the diagonal elements are ‘1’s and all the remaining elements are ‘0’s. The method should take a 2D array of integers as argument and return a Boolean which is true/false depending on whether the matrix corresponding to the 2D array is a unit matrix or not. Test the method in the ‘main’ method. For problems asking for 'methods', you need to write the method, and the 'main' method which is used as a 'driver' to test the given method.arrow_forward

Alternately, round down to the previous multiple of 10 if its rightmost digit is less than 5, so 12 rounds down to 10. roundSum(16, 17, 18) → 50roundSum(12, 13, 14) → 40roundSum(6, 4, 4) → 10 The examples of input and output you can see in the picture.
