Chapter 5, Problem 14RE
Consider the following method that is intended to swap the values of two integers:
public static void falseSwap(int a, int b)
{
int temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int x = 3;
int y = 4;
falseSwap(x, y);
System.out.println(x + " " + y);
}
Why doesn’t the falseSwap method swap the contents of x and y?

What is wrong in the following method in JAVA?public class Test {public static void main(String[] args) {xMethod(1234567);}public static void xMethod(double n) {if (n != 0) {System.out.print(n);xMethod(n / 10);}}}
Write a java method:
public static String repeat(String str, int num)
that returns the string str repeated n times.
For Example: repeat("delta", 4) returns "deltadeltadeltadelta".
A pentagonal number is defined as n(3n−1) ∕ 2 for n = 1, 2, . . ., etc.. Therefore, the first few numbers are 1, 5, 12, 22, . . . . Write a method with the following header that returns a pentagonal number:public static int getPentagonalNumber(int n)
For example, getPentagonalNumber(1) returns 1 and getPentagonalNumber(2) returns 5. In Java, Write a test program that uses this method to display the first 100 pentagonal numbers with 10 numbers on each line. Numbers are separated by exactly one space.

- in java write a method (void rect(int a,int b)), which draws the following figure: a rectangle size a x b , each even row contains line numbers (2,4,6,8,...), written consecutively, each odd row contains numbers that increment from 1 to half of the width and back to 1.

In addition to the main method, you must include the following methods: // Return the reversal of an integer, e.g. reverse(456) return 654 public static long reverse(long number) // Return true if number is a palindrome public static boolean ispalindrome(long number)arrow_forwardWrite a Java program that implements static method roundSum() so that given 3 ints: a, b, and c; return the sum of their rounded values. We'll round an int value up to the next multiple of 10 if its rightmost digit is 5 or more, so 15 rounds up to 20. 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.
