Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 5.2, Problem 5.7CP
Explanation of Solution
Methods:
A collection of statements which are formed together to perform an operation is called as methods.
- The main advantage of using method is reusability of code and reduces the size of the program, because a method can be called for multiple numbers of times.
Method header:
The method header is the part of the method definition which holds the modifier, return type of the method, method name and the parameter list.
public static double findArea(double a, double b)
In the above example, the method “findArea()” holds the return type double and the parameters “a” and “b” and should not have a semicolon at the end.
myMethod(7);
The parameter passed to the “myMethod()” is “7” which is of type “int”...

5. Define a method in JAVA that should take 4 numbers as the parameters and returns the average of all the numbers. The function return type should not be void i.e. the average value should be returned by the function.
Activities: I. Write the proper method declaration/ method call for the following (Javaprogramming)
A method named Pass_array that accepts an array and returns no value ____________________________________
Call method Pass_array sending array x to it ____________________________________
A method named max that requires two integers and returns an integer ____________________________________
A method named Test that accepts an integer and returns a boolean value ____________________________________
Java code
Write the header for a public method named doStuff that has no parameters and no return value. Remember to include the opening brace for the method. Assume that the method will be in the main class and called directly by the main method.

- Exercise 1: Write a Java application that simulates a test. The test contains at least five questions about first three lectures of this course. Each question should be a multiple-choice question with 4 options. Design a Test class. Use programmer-defined methods to implement your solution. For example: create a method to simulate the questions – simulateQuestion create a method to check the answer – checkAnswer create a method to display a random message for the user – generateMessage create a method to interact with the user - inputAnswer Display the questions using methods of JOptionPane class. Use a loop to show all the questions. For each question: If the user finds the right answer, display a random congratulatory message (“Excellent!”,”Good!”,”Keep up the good work!”, or “Nice work!”). If the user responds incorrectly, display an appropriate message and the correct answer (“No. Please try again”, “Wrong. Try once more”, “Don't give up!”, “No. Keep trying..”).

The non-static methods of a class are called instance method. 14. A constructor has no type and is therefore a void method. 15. A class can have only two constructors. 16. In shallow copying, each reference variable refers to its own object. 21. The method finalize automatically executes when the class objects goes out of scope. 22. A mutator method of a class changes the values of data members of the class. 23. In java, the reference this is used to refer to only the methods, not the instance variables of a class. 24. Classes that are defined within other classes are called inside classes. 25. Modifiers are used to alter the behavior of the class 26. A constructor has the same name as the class. 27. Constructors are called like any other method. 28. You can perform some arithmetic operations on class objects.arrow_forward

The Java Math Library provides various methods and fields. These methods allows us to perform basic mathematical operations like square root, cube root, logarithmic, and all sort of trigonometric functions. The methods and fields provided inside the Java Math class are static. So, we can access these resources using only the name of the class (Example: Math.PI to get the value of pi, and method Math.abs(number), is going to provide the absolute value of a number. Design a Java program to find the maximum and minimum of 4 integer numbers by using only the Math API Library Methods. The Scanner class, on the other hand, is part of the java.util package, and its methods are non-static. You have been using the scanner class before, as a review, create an object of the Scanner class to help you getting the four integers from the user of your program.arrow_forwardJava Programming: Write a static method named urgentAndIncomplete. Write the method as if it is in Main.java (not part of the ToDoItem class). The method should: Accept three ToDoItem references as parameters, and Return an int. Count how many of the ToDoItems meet two criteria: A priority greater than 3 Not completed The method should return how many of the parameters meet these criteria. That will be either 0, 1, 2, or 3.arrow_forward
