Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.

Java Problem Solving and Programming - CH 2 Exercises

front 1

Write a program that demonstrates the approximate nature of floating-point values by performing the following task:
-Use Scanner to read a floating-point value x
-Computer 1.0/x and store the result in y
-Dispay x,y, and the product of x and y
-Subtract 1 from the product of x and y and display the result

Try your program with values of x that range from 2e-11 to 2e11. What can you conclude?

back 1

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a floating-point value");
float x = keyboard.nextFloat();
float y = 1.0F/x;
float product = x * y;
System.out.println("x is: " + x);
System.out.println("y is: " + y);
System.out.println("the product of x and y is: " + product);
product--;
System.out.println("product after subtracting 1 is: " + product);

You can conclude that the product of x and y is always 1.

front 2

Write a program that demonstrates type casting of double values by performing the following tasks:
-Use Scanner to read a floating-point value x
-Type cast x to an int value and store the result in y
-Display x and y clearly labeled
-Type cast x to a byte value and store the result in z
-Display x and z clearly labeled

Try your program with positive and negative values of x that range in magnitude from 2e-11 to 2e11. What can you conclude?

back 2

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a floating-point value");
float x = keyboard.nextFloat();
int y = (int)x;
System.out.println("x (floating-point) is: " + x);
System.out.println("y (int) is: " + y);
byte z = (byte)x;
System.out.println("z (byte) is: " + z);

You can conclude that y and z will give unexpected results if x is greater or less than its min and max value.

front 3

Write a program that demonstrates the operator % by performing the following tasks:
-Use Scanner to read a floating-point value x
-computer x % 2.0 and store the result in y
-Display x and y clearly labeled
-Type cast x to an int value and store the result in z
-Display x, z, and z % 2 clearly labeled

Try your program with positive and negative values of x. What implications do your results have for deciding whether a negative integer is odd?

back 3

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a floating-point value");
float x = keyboard.nextFloat();
float y = x % 2.0F;
System.out.println("x is: " + x);
System.out.println("y is: " + y);
int z = (int)x;
System.out.println("z is: " + z);
System.out.println("z % 2 is: " + (z % 2));

If z = -1 then the given integer is odd.

front 4

If u = 2, v = 3, w = 5, x = 7 and y = 11, what is the value of each of the following expressions, assuming int variables?
(a)u + v * w + x
(b)u + y % v * w + x
(c)u++/v + u++ * w

back 4

(a)24
(b)19
(c)15

front 5

What changes to the ChangeMaker program in Listing 2.3 are necessary if it also accepts coins for one dollar and half a dollar?

back 5

(1)
Variables for dollars and halfDollars need to be added.
(2)
The following lines of code need to be added directly after "originalAmount = amount":
dollars = amount / 100;
amount = amount % 100;
halfDollars = amount / 50;
amount = amount % 50;
(3)
Add code to print dollars and half dollars before printing quarters

front 6

If the int variable x contains 10, what will the following Java statements display?
System.out.println("Test 1" + x * 3 * 2.0);
System.out.println("Test 2" + x * 3 + 2.0);

Given these results, explain why the following Java statement will not compile:
System.out.println("Test 3" + x * 3 - 2.0);

back 6

Test 1 60.0
Test 2 302.0

The statement does not compile because "-" is not a valid operator for string concatenation.

front 7

Write some Java statements that use the String methods indexOf and substring to find the first word in a string. We define word to be a string of characters that does not include whitespace. For example, the first word of the string "Hello, my good friend!" is the string "Hello," and the second word is the string "my".

back 7

String sentence = "Hello, my good friend!";
int whitespace = sentence.indexOf(" ");
System.out.println("First word is: " + sentence.substring(0, whitespace));

front 8

Repeat the previous exercise, but find the second word in the string.

back 8

String sentence = "Hello, my good friend!";
int firstWhitespace = sentence.indexOf(" ");
int secondWhitespace = sentence.indexOf(" ", firstWhitespace + 1);
System.out.println("Second word is: " + sentence.substring(firstWhitespace + 1, secondWhitespace));

front 9

What does the following Java statement display?
System.out.println("\"\tTest\\\\\rIt\'");

Does replacing the r with an n make a difference in what is displayed?

back 9

It' Text\\

When "r" is replaced with "n" the text displayed is:
" Test\\
It'

front 10

Write a single Java statement that will display the words one, two, and threee, each on its own line.

back 10

System.out.println("one\ntwo\nthree");

front 11

What does the Java code

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a string.");
int n = keyboard.nextInt();
String s = keyboard.next();
System.out.println("n is" + n);
System.out.println("s is" + s);

display when the keyboard input is 2istheinput?

back 11

You get an InputMismatchException because "2istheinput" cannot be converted to an int.

To make this work you need a space after the 2: "2 is the input"

front 12

Wht does the Java code

Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
keyboard.useDelimiter("y");
System.out.println("Enter a string.");
String a = keyboard.next();
String b = keyboard.next();
System.out.println("a is" + a);
System.out.println("b is" + b);

display when the keyboard input is: By theprickingof my thumbs

back 12

a is B
b is theprickingof

front 13

Repeat the previous exercise, but change next to nextLine in the statement that assigns a value to b.

back 13

a is B
b is y theprickingof my thumbs

front 14

Many sports have constants embedded in their rules. For example, baseball has 9 innings, 3 outs per inning, 3 strikes in an out, and 4 balls per walk. We might encode the constants for a program involving baseball as follows:
public static final int INNINGS = 9;
public static final int OUTS_PER_INNING = 3;
public static final int STRIKES_PER_OUT = 3;
public static final int BALLS_PER_WALK = 4;

For each of the following popular sports, give Java named constants that could be used in a program involving that sport:
-Basketball
-American football
-Soccer
-Cricket
-Bowling

back 14

Basketball:
public static final int TIME_PERIODS = 4;
public static final int PLAYER_FOULS_ALLOWED = 5;
public static final int POINTS_PER_FREE_THROW = 1;

American Football:
public static final int POINTS_PER_TOUCHDOWN = 6;
public static final int POINTS_PER_EXTRA_POINT = 1;
public static final int POINTS_PER_FIELD_GOAL = 3;
public static final int POINTS_PER_SAFETY = 2;

Soccer:
public static final int PLAYERS_PER_TEAM = 11;
public static final int TIME_PERIODS = 2;
public static final int GOALIES_PER_TEAM = 1;

Cricket:
public static final int PLAYERS_PER_TEAM = 11;
public static final int INNINGS_PER_GAME = 2;

Bowling:
public static final int FRAMES_PER_GAME = 10;
public static final int MAX_SCORE = 300;
public static final int PINS_PER_FRAME = 10;

front 15

Repeat Exercise 18 in Chapter 1, but define and use named constants.

back 15

public static final int WIDTH = 120;
public static final int HEIGHT = 120;

public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.drawOval(40, 40, width, height);
g.drawOval(140, 40, width, height);
g.drawOval(240, 40, width, height);
g.drawOval(90, 130, width, height);
g.drawOval(190, 130, width, height);
}

front 16

Define named constants you could use in Programming Project 8 in Chapter 1.

back 16

public static final int ARC_RADIUS_1 = 100;
public static final int ARC_RADIUS_2 = 100;
public static final int ARC_ENDING_ANGLE = 180;
