CheckPassFail (if-else)Write a program called CheckPassFail which prints "PASS" if the int variable "mark" is more than or equal to 50; or prints "FAIL" otherwise. The program shall always print “DONE” before exiting. HintsUse >= for greater than or equal to comparison. public class CheckPassFail { public static void main(String[] args) { int mark = 49; System.out.println("The mark is " + mark); if ( ...... ) { System.out.println( ...... ); } else { System.out.println( ...... ); } System.out.println( ...... ); } }Try mark = 0, 49, 50, 51, 100 and verify your results. Take note of the source-code indentation!!! Whenever you open a block with '{', indent all the statements inside the block by 3 (or 4 spaces). When the block ends, un-indent the closing '}' to align with the opening statement. CheckOddEven (if-else)Write a program called CheckOddEven which prints "Odd Number" if the int variable “number” is odd, or “Even Number” otherwise. The program shall always print “bye!” before exiting. Hintsn is an even number if (n % 2) is 0; otherwise, it is an odd number. Use == for comparison, e.g., (n % 2) == 0. public class CheckOddEven { public static void main(String[] args) { int number = 49; System.out.println("The number is " + number); if ( ...... ) { System.out.println( ...... ); } else { System.out.println( ...... ); } System.out.println( ...... ); } }Try number = 0, 1, 88, 99, -1, -2 and verify your results. Again, take note of the source-code identation! Make it a good habit to ident your code properly, for ease of reading your program. PrintNumberInWord (nested-if, switch-case)Write a program called PrintNumberInWord which prints "ONE", "TWO",... , "NINE", "OTHER" if the int variable "number" is 1, 2,... , 9, or other, respectively. Use (a) a "nested-if" statement; (b) a "switch-case-default" statement. Hintspublic class PrintNumberInWord { public static void main(String[] args) { int number = 5; if (number == 1) { System.out.println( ...... ); } else if ( ...... ) { ...... } else if ( ...... ) { ...... ...... ...... } else { ...... } switch(number) { case 1: System.out.println( ...... ); break; case 2: System.out.println( ...... ); break; ...... ...... default: System.out.println( ...... ); } } }Try number = 0, 1, 2, 3, ..., 9, 10 and verify your results. PrintDayInWord (nested-if, switch-case)Write a program called PrintDayInWord which prints “Sunday”, “Monday”, ... “Saturday” if the int variable "dayNumber" is 0, 1, ..., 6, respectively. Otherwise, it shall print "Not a valid day". Use (a) a "nested-if" statement; (b) a "switch-case-default" statement. Try dayNumber = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and verify your results. Exercises on Number Systems (for Science/Engineering Students)To be proficient in programming, you need to be able to operate on these number systems:
Read "Number Systems" section of "Data Representation", and complete the exercises. Writing Good ProgramsThe only way to learn programming is program, program and program. Learning programming is like learning cycling, swimming or any other sports. You can't learn by watching or reading books. Start to program immediately. On the other hands, to improve your programming, you need to read many books and study how the masters program. It is easy to write programs that work. It is much harder to write programs that not only work but also easy to maintain and understood by others – I call these good programs. In the real world, writing program is not meaningful. You have to write good programs, so that others can understand and maintain your programs. Pay particular attention to:
Exercises on Decision and LoopSumAverageRunningInt (Decision & Loop)Write a program called SumAverageRunningInt to produce the sum of 1, 2, 3, ..., to 100. Store 1 and 100 in variables lowerbound and upperbound, so that we can change their values easily. Also compute and display the average. The output shall look like: The sum of 1 to 100 is 5050 The average is 50.5Hintspublic class SumAverageRunningInt { public static void main (String[] args) { int sum = 0; double average; final int LOWERBOUND = 1; final int UPPERBOUND = 100; for (int number = LOWERBOUND; number <= UPPERBOUND; ++number) { sum += number; } ...... ...... } }Try

ExtractDigits (Decision & Loop)Write a program called ExtractDigits to extract each digit from an int, in the reverse order. For example, if the int is 15423, the output shall be "3 2 4 5 1", with a space separating the digits. HintsThe coding pattern for extracting individual digits from an integer n is:
Take note that n is destroyed in the process. You may need to clone a copy. int n = ...; while (n > 0) { int digit = n % 10; ...... n = n / 10; }Exercises on Input, Decision and LoopAdd2Integer (Input)Write a program called Add2Integers that prompts user to enter two integers. The program shall read the two integers as int; compute their sum; and print the result. For example, Enter first integer: 8 Enter second integer: 9 The sum is: 17Hintsimport java.util.Scanner; public class Add2Integers { public static void main (String[] args) { int number1, number2, sum; Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter first integer: "); number1 = in.nextInt(); ...... in.close(); sum = ...... System.out.println("The sum is: " + sum); } }SumProductMinMax3 (Arithmetic & Min/Max)Write a program called SumProductMinMax3 that prompts user for three integers. The program shall read the inputs as int; compute the sum, product, minimum and maximum of the three integers; and print the results. For examples, Enter 1st integer: 8 Enter 2nd integer: 2 Enter 3rd integer: 9 The sum is: 19 The product is: 144 The min is: 2 The max is: 9Hintsint number1, number2, number3; int sum, product, min, max; Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); ...... ...... in.close(); sum = ...... product = ...... min = number1; if (number2 < min) { min = number2; } if (number3 < min) { min = number3; } ...... ......Try

The program shall read the input as double; compute the diameter, circumference, and area of the circle in double; and print the values rounded to 2 decimal places. Use System-provided constant Math.PI for pi. The formulas are: diameter = 2.0 * radius; area = Math.PI * radius * radius; circumference = 2.0 * Math.PI * radius;Hintsdouble radius, diameter, circumference, area; ...... System.out.print("Enter the radius: "); radius = in.nextDouble(); ...... System.out.printf("Diameter is: %.2f%n", diameter); ......Try
Swap2IntegersWrite a program called Swap2Integers that prompts user for two integers. The program shall read the inputs as int, save in two variables called number1 and number2; swap the contents of the two variables; and print the results. For examples, Enter first integer: 9 Enter second integer: -9 After the swap, first integer is: -9, second integer is: 9HintsTo swap the contents of two variables x and y, you need to introduce a temporary storage, say temp, and do: temp ⇐ x; x ⇐ y; y ⇐ temp. IncomeTaxCalculator (Decision)The progressive income tax rate is mandated as follows:
For example, suppose that the taxable income is $85000, the income tax payable is $20000*0% + $20000*10% + $20000*20% + $25000*30%. Write a program called IncomeTaxCalculator that reads the taxable income (in int). The program shall calculate the income tax payable (in double); and print the result rounded to 2 decimal places. For examples, Enter the taxable income: $41234 The income tax payable is: $2246.80 Enter the taxable income: $67891The income tax payable is: $8367.30 Enter the taxable income: $85432 The income tax payable is: $13629.60 Enter the taxable income: $12345 The income tax payable is: $0.00 Hintsfinal double TAX_RATE_ABOVE_20K = 0.1; final double TAX_RATE_ABOVE_40K = 0.2; final double TAX_RATE_ABOVE_60K = 0.3; int taxableIncome; double taxPayable; ...... if (taxableIncome <= 20000) { taxPayable = ......; } else if (taxableIncome <= 40000) { taxPayable = ......; } else if (taxableIncome <= 60000) { taxPayable = ......; } else { taxPayable = ......; } System.out.printf("The income tax payable is: $%.2f%n", ...);TrySuppose that a 10% tax rebate is announced for the income tax payable, capped at $1,000, modify your program to handle the tax rebate. For example, suppose that the tax payable is $12,000, the rebate is $1,000, as 10% of $12,000 exceed the cap. IncomeTaxCalculatorWithSentinel (Decision & Loop)Based on the previous exercise, write a program called IncomeTaxCalculatorWithSentinel which shall repeat the calculation until user enter -1. For example, Enter the taxable income (or -1 to end): $41000 The income tax payable is: $2200.00 Enter the taxable income (or -1 to end): $62000 The income tax payable is: $6600.00 Enter the taxable income (or -1 to end): $73123 The income tax payable is: $9936.90 Enter the taxable income (or -1 to end): $84328 The income tax payable is: $13298.40 Enter the taxable income: $-1 bye!The -1 is known as the sentinel value. (Wiki: In programming, a sentinel value, also referred to as a flag value, trip value, rogue value, signal value, or dummy data, is a special value which uses its presence as a condition of termination.) HintsThe coding pattern for handling input with sentinel value is as follows: final int SENTINEL = -1; ...... int taxableIncome; double taxPayable; ...... System.out.print("Enter the taxable income (or -1 to end): $"); taxableIncome = in.nextInt(); while (taxableIncome != SENTINEL) { ...... ...... System.out.print("Enter the taxable income (or -1 to end): $"); taxableIncome = in.nextInt(); } System.out.println("bye!");Take note that we repeat the input statements inside and outside the loop. Repeating statements is NOT a good programming practice. This is because it is easy to repeat (Cntl-C/Cntl-V), but hard to maintain and synchronize the repeated statements. In this case, we have no better choices! PensionContributionCalculator (Decision)Both the employer and the employee are mandated to contribute a certain percentage of the employee's salary towards the employee's pension fund. The rate is tabulated as follows:
However, the contribution is subjected to a salary ceiling of $6,000. In other words, if an employee earns $6,800, only $6,000 attracts employee's and employer's contributions, the remaining $800 does not. Write a program called PensionContributionCalculator that reads the monthly salary and age (in int) of an employee. Your program shall calculate the employee's, employer's and total contributions (in double); and print the results rounded to 2 decimal places. For examples, Enter the monthly salary: $3000 Enter the age: 30 The employee's contribution is: $600.00 The employer's contribution is: $510.00 The total contribution is: $1110.00Hintsfinal int SALARY_CEILING = 6000; final double EMPLOYEE_RATE_55_AND_BELOW = 0.2; final double EMPLOYER_RATE_55_AND_BELOW = 0.17; final double EMPLOYEE_RATE_55_TO_60 = 0.13; final double EMPLOYER_RATE_55_TO_60 = 0.13; final double EMPLOYEE_RATE_60_TO_65 = 0.075; final double EMPLOYER_RATE_60_TO_65 = 0.09; final double EMPLOYEE_RATE_65_ABOVE = 0.05; final double EMPLOYER_RATE_65_ABOVE = 0.075; int salary, age; int contributableSalary; double employeeContribution, employerContribution, totalContribution; ...... contributableSalary = ...... if (age <= 55) { ...... } else if (age <= 60) { ...... } else if (age <= 65) { ...... } else { ...... }PensionContributionCalculatorWithSentinel (Decision & Loop)Based on the previous PensionContributionCalculator, write a program called PensionContributionCalculatorWithSentinel which shall repeat the calculations until user enter -1 for the salary. For examples, Enter the monthly salary (or -1 to end): $5123 Enter the age: 21 The employee's contribution is: $1024.60 The employer's contribution is: $870.91 The total contribution is: $1895.51 Enter the monthly salary (or -1 to end): $5123 Enter the age: 64 The employee's contribution is: $384.22 The employer's contribution is: $461.07 The total contribution is: $845.30 Enter the monthly salary (or -1 to end): $-1 bye!HintsSystem.out.print("Enter the monthly salary (or -1 to end): $"); salary = in.nextInt(); while (salary != SENTINEL) { System.out.print("Enter the age: "); age = in.nextInt(); ...... ...... System.out.print("Enter the monthly salary (or -1 to end): $"); salary = in.nextInt(); }SalesTaxCalculator (Decision & Loop)A sales tax of 7% is levied on all goods and services consumed. It is also mandatory that all the price tags should include the sales tax. For example, if an item has a price tag of $107, the actual price is $100 and $7 goes to the sales tax. Write a program using a loop to continuously input the tax-inclusive price (in double); compute the actual price and the sales tax (in double); and print the results rounded to 2 decimal places. The program shall terminate in response to input of -1; and print the total price, total actual price, and total sales tax. For examples, Enter the tax-inclusive price in dollars (or -1 to end): 107 Actual Price is: $100.00, Sales Tax is: $7.00 Enter the tax-inclusive price in dollars (or -1 to end): 214 Actual Price is: $200.00, Sales Tax is: $14.00 Enter the tax-inclusive price in dollars (or -1 to end): 321 Actual Price is: $300.00, Sales Tax is: $21.00 Enter the tax-inclusive price in dollars (or -1 to end): -1 Total Price is: $642.00 Total Actual Price is: $600.00 Total Sales Tax is: $42.00Hintsfinal double SALES_TAX_RATE = 0.07; final int SENTINEL = -1; double price, actualPrice, salesTax; double totalPrice = 0.0, totalActualPrice = 0.0, totalSalesTax = 0.0; ...... System.out.print("Enter the tax-inclusive price in dollars (or -1 to end): "); price = in.nextDouble(); while (price != SENTINEL) { ...... ...... ...... System.out.print("Enter the tax-inclusive price in dollars (or -1 to end): "); price = in.nextDouble(); } ......ReverseInt (Loop with Modulus/Divide)Write a program that prompts user for a positive integer. The program shall read the input as int; and print the "reverse" of the input integer. For examples, Enter a positive integer: 12345 The reverse is: 54321HintsUse the following coding pattern which uses a while-loop with repeated modulus/divide operations to extract and drop the last digit of a positive integer. int inNumber; int inDigit; ...... while (inNumber > 0) { inDigit = inNumber % 10; ...... inNumber /= 10; } ......SumOfDigitsInt (Loop with Modulus/Divide)Write a program that prompts user for a positive integer. The program shall read the input as int; compute and print the sum of all its digits. For examples, Enter a positive integer: 12345 The sum of all digits is: 15HintsSee "ReverseInt". InputValidation (Loop with boolean flag)Your program often needs to validate the user's inputs, e.g., marks shall be between 0 and 100. Write a program that prompts user for an integer between 0-10 or 90-100. The program shall read the input as int; and repeat until the user enters a valid input. For examples, Enter a number between 0-10 or 90-100: -1 Invalid input, try again... Enter a number between 0-10 or 90-100: 50 Invalid input, try again... Enter a number between 0-10 or 90-100: 101 Invalid input, try again... Enter a number between 0-10 or 90-100: 95 You have entered: 95HintsUse the following coding pattern which uses a do-while loop controlled by a boolean flag to do input validation. We use a do-while instead of while-do loop as we need to execute the body to prompt and process the input at least once. int numberIn; boolean isValid; ...... isValid = false; // default assuming input is not valid do { ...... if (numberIn ......) { isValid = true; } else { System.out.println(......); } } while (!isValid); ......AverageWithInputValidation (Loop with boolean flag)Write a program that prompts user for the mark (between 0-100 in int) of 3 students; computes the average (in double); and prints the result rounded to 2 decimal places. Your program needs to perform input validation. For examples, Enter the mark (0-100) for student 1: 56 Enter the mark (0-100) for student 2: 101 Invalid input, try again... Enter the mark (0-100) for student 2: -1 Invalid input, try again... Enter the mark (0-100) for student 2: 99 Enter the mark (0-100) for student 3: 45 The average is: 66.67Hintsfinal int NUM_STUDENTS = 3; int numberIn; boolean isValid; int sum = 0; double average; ...... for (int studentNo = 1; studentNo <= NUM_STUDENTS; ++studentNo) { ...... isValid = false; do { ...... } while (!isValid); sum += ......; } ......Exercises on Nested-LoopsSquarePattern (nested-loop)Write a program called SquarePattern that prompts user for the size (a non-negative integer in int); and prints the following square pattern using two nested for-loops. Enter the size: 5 # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #HintsThe code pattern for printing 2D patterns using nested loops is: for (int row = 1; row <= size; row++) { for (int col = 1; col <= size; col++) { System.out.print( ...... ); ...... } System.out.println(); }Notes
TryRewrite the above program using nested while-do loops.

The program, however, has a logical error and produce a wrong answer for n=20 ("The Factorial of 20 is -2102132736" – negative?!). Use the graphic debugger of Eclipse/NetBeans to debug the program by single-step through the program and tabulating the values of i and factorial at the statement marked by (*). You should try out debugging features such as "Breakpoint", "Step Over", "Watch variables", "Run-to-Line", "Resume", "Terminate", among others.

How to handle double[] or float[]? You need to write a overloaded version for double[] and a overloaded version for float[], with the following signatures: public static void print(double[] array) public static void print(float[] array)The above is known as method overloading, where the same method name can have many versions, differentiated by its parameter list. Hints
arrayToString() (Array & Method)Write a method called arrayToString(), which takes an int array and return a String in the form of [a1, a2, ..., an]. Take note that this method returns a String, the previous exercise returns void but prints the output. The method's signature is as follows: public static String arrayToString(int[] array);Also write a test driver to test this method (you should test on empty array, one-element array, and n-element array). Notes: This is similar to the built-in function Arrays.toString(). You could study its source code. contains() (Array & Method)Write a boolean method called contains(), which takes an array of int and an int; and returns true if the array contains the given int.

Exercises on Command-line ArgumentsArithmetic (Command-Line Arguments)Write a program called Arithmetic that takes three command-line arguments: two integers followed by an arithmetic operator (+, -, * or /). The program shall perform the corresponding operation on the two integers and print the result. For example: java Arithmetic 3 2 + 3+2=5 java Arithmetic 3 2 - 3-2=1 java Arithmetic 3 2 / 3/2=1HintsThe method main(String[] args) takes an argument: "an array of String", which is often (but not necessary) named args. This parameter captures the command-line arguments supplied by the user when the program is invoked. For example, if a user invokes: java Arithmetic 12345 4567 +The three command-line arguments "12345", "4567" and "+" will be captured in a String array {"12345", "4567", "+"} and passed into the main() method as the argument args. That is, args is: {"12345", "4567", "+"} args.length is: 3 args[0] is: "12345" args[1] is: "4567" args[2] is: "+" args[0].length() is: 5 args[1].length() is: 4 args[2].length() is: 1 public class Arithmetic { public static void main (String[] args) { int operand1, operand2; char theOperator; if (args.length != 3) { System.err.println("Usage: java Arithmetic int1 int2 op"); return; } operand1 = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); operand2 = ...... theOperator = args[2].charAt(0); System.out.print(args[0] + args[2] + args[1] + "="); switch(theOperator) { case ('-'): System.out.println(operand1 - operand2); break; case ('+'): ...... case ('*'): ...... case ('/'): ...... default: System.err.println("Error: invalid operator!"); } } }Notes:
Question: Try "java Arithmetic 2 4 *" (in CMD shell and Eclipse/NetBeans) and explain the result obtained. How to resolve this problem? In Windows' CMD shell, * is known as a wildcard character, that expands to give the list of file in the directory (called Shell Expansion). For example, "dir *.java" lists all the file with extension of ".java". You could double-quote the * to prevent shell expansion. Eclipse has a bug in handling this, even * is double-quoted.

The output shall look like: Enter a number and radix: A1B2 Enter the input radix: 16 Enter the output radix: 2 "A1B2" in radix 16 is "1010000110110010" in radix 2.NumberGuessWrite a program called NumberGuess to play the number guessing game. The program shall generate a random number between 0 and 99. The player inputs his/her guess, and the program shall response with "Try higher", "Try lower" or "You got it in n trials" accordingly. For example: java NumberGuess Key in your guess: 50 Try higher 70 Try lower 65 Try lower 61 You got it in 4 trials!HintsUse Math.random() to produce a random number in double between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive). To produce an int between 0 and 99, use: final int SECRET_NUMBER = (int)(Math.random()*100);WordGuessWrite a program called WordGuess to guess a word by trying to guess the individual characters. The word to be guessed shall be provided using the command-line argument. Your program shall look like: java WordGuess testing Key in one character or your guess word: t Trial 1: t__t___ Key in one character or your guess word: g Trial 2: t__t__g Key in one character or your guess word: e Trial 3: te_t__g Key in one character or your guess word: testing Congratulation! You got in 4 trialsHints
TryTry retrieving the word to be guessed from a text file (or a dictionary) randomly. DateUtilComplete the following methods in a class called DateUtil:
HintsTo find the day of the week (Reference: Wiki "Determination of the day of the week"):
For example: 2012, Feb, 17 (6 + 12 + 12/4 + 2 + 17) % 7 = 5 (Fri)The skeleton of the program is as follows: public class DateUtil { public static String[] strMonths = {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"}; public static int[] daysInMonths = {31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31}; public static boolean isLeapYear(int year) { ...... } public static boolean isValidDate(int year, int month, int day) { ...... } public static int getDayOfWeek(int year, int month, int day) { ...... } public static String printDate(int year, int month, int day) { ...... } public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(isLeapYear(1900)); System.out.println(isLeapYear(2000)); System.out.println(isLeapYear(2011)); System.out.println(isLeapYear(2012)); System.out.println(isValidDate(2012, 2, 29)); System.out.println(isValidDate(2011, 2, 29)); System.out.println(isValidDate(2099, 12, 31)); System.out.println(isValidDate(2099, 12, 32)); System.out.println(getDayOfWeek(1982, 4, 24)); System.out.println(getDayOfWeek(2000, 1, 1)); System.out.println(getDayOfWeek(2054, 6, 19)); System.out.println(getDayOfWeek(2012, 2, 17)); System.out.println(toString(2012, 2, 14)); } }NotesYou can compare the day obtained with the Java's Calendar class as follows: Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar(year, month - 1, day); int dayNumber = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK); String[] calendarDays = { "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday" }; System.out.println("It is " + calendarDays[dayNumber - 1]);The calendar we used today is known as Gregorian calendar, which came into effect in October 15, 1582 in some countries and later in other countries. It replaces the Julian calendar. 10 days were removed from the calendar, i.e., October 4, 1582 (Julian) was followed by October 15, 1582 (Gregorian). The only difference between the Gregorian and the Julian calendar is the "leap-year rule". In Julian calendar, every four years is a leap year. In Gregorian calendar, a leap year is a year that is divisible by 4 but not divisible by 100, or it is divisible by 400, i.e., the Gregorian calendar omits century years which are not divisible by 400. Furthermore, Julian calendar considers the first day of the year as march 25th, instead of January 1st. This above algorithm work for Gregorian dates only. It is difficult to modify the above algorithm to handle pre-Gregorian dates. A better algorithm is to find the number of days from a known date. Exercises on RecursionIn programming, a recursive function (or method) calls itself. The classical example is factorial(n), which can be defined recursively as f(n)=n*f(n-1). Nonetheless, it is important to take note that a recursive function should have a terminating condition (or base case), in the case of factorial, f(0)=1. Hence, the full definition is: factorial(n) = 1, for n = 0 factorial(n) = n * factorial(n-1), for all n > 1For example, suppose n = 5: factorial(5) = 5 * factorial(4) factorial(4) = 4 * factorial(3) factorial(3) = 3 * factorial(2) factorial(2) = 2 * factorial(1) factorial(1) = 1 * factorial(0) factorial(0) = 1 factorial(1) = 1 * 1 = 1 factorial(2) = 2 * 1 = 2 factorial(3) = 3 * 2 = 6 factorial(4) = 4 * 6 = 24 factorial(5) = 5 * 24 = 120 (DONE)Factorial RecusiveWrite a recursive method called factorial() to compute the factorial of the given integer. public static int factorial(int n)The recursive algorithm is: factorial(n) = 1, if n = 0 factorial(n) = n * factorial(n-1), if n > 0Compare your code with the iterative version of the factorial(): factorial(n) = 1*2*3*...*nHintsWriting recursive function is straight forward. You simply translate the recursive definition into code with return. public static int factorial(int n) { if (n == 0) { return 1; } else { return n * factorial(n-1); } r // return (n == 0) ? 1 : n*factorial(n-1); }Notes
Fibonacci (Recursive)Write a recursive method to compute the Fibonacci number of n, defined as follows: F(0) = 0 F(1) = 1 F(n) = F(n-1) + F(n-2) for n >= 2Compare the recursive version with the iterative version written earlier. Hintspublic static int fibonacci(int n) { if (n == 0) { return 0; } else if (n == 1) { return 1; } else { return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2); } }Length of a Running Number Sequence (Recursive)A special number sequence is defined as follows: S(1) = 1 S(2) = 12 S(3) = 123 S(4) = 1234 ...... S(9) = 123456789 S(10) = 12345678910 S(11) = 1234567891011 S(12) = 123456789101112 ......Write a recursive method to compute the length of S(n), defined as follows: len(1) = 1 len(n) = len(n-1) + numOfDigits(n)Also write an iterative version. GCD (Recursive)Write a recursive method called gcd() to compute the greatest common divisor of two given integers. public static void int gcd(int a, int b) gcd(a,b) = a, if b = 0 gcd(a,b) = gcd(b, remainder(a,b)), if b > 0Tower of Hanoi (Recursive)A classical recursive problem [TODO] Exercises on Algorithms - Sorting and SearchingEfficient sorting and searching are big topics, typically covered in a course called "Data Structures and Algorithms". There are many searching and sorting algorithms available, with their respective strengths and weaknesses. See Wikipedia "Sorting Algorithms" and "Searching Algorithms" for the algorithms, examples and illustrations. JDK provides searching and sorting utilities in the Arrays class (in package java.util), such as Arrays.sort() and Arrays.binarySearch() - you don't have to write your searching and sorting in your production program. These exercises are for academic purpose and for you to gain some understandings and practices on these algorithms. Linear SearchWrite the following linear search methods to search for a key value in an array, by comparing each item with the search key in the linear manner. Linear search is applicable to unsorted list. (Reference: Wikipedia "Linear Search".) public static boolean linearSearch(int[] array, int key) public static int linearSearchIndex(int[] array, int key)Also write a test driver to test the methods. Recursive Binary Search(Reference: Wikipedia "Binary Search") Binary search is only applicable to a sorted list. For example, suppose that we want to search for the item 18 in the list [11 14 16 18 20 25 28 30 34 40 45]: Create two indexes: firstIdx and lastIdx , initially pointing at the first and last elements [11 14 16 18 20 25 28 30 34 40 45] F M L Compute middleIdx = (firstIdx + lastIdx) / 2 Compare the key (K) with the middle element (M) If K = M, return true else if K < M, set firstIdx = middleIndex else if K > M, set firstIdx = middleIndex {11 14 16 18 20 25 28 30 34 40 45} F M L Recursively repeat the search between the new firstIndex and lastIndex. Terminate with not found when firstIndex = lastIndex. {11 14 16 18 20 25 28 30 34 40 45} F M LWrite a recursive function called binarySearch() as follows: public boolean binarySearch(int[] array, int key, int fromIdx, int toIdx)Use the following pseudocode implementation: If fromIdx = toIdx - 1 if key = array[fromIdx], return true else, return false (not found) else middleIdx = (fromIdx + toIdx) / 2 if key = array[middleIdx], return true else if key < array[middleIdx], toIdx = middleIdx else firstIdx = middleIdx + 1 binarySearch(array, key, fromIdx, toIdx)Also write an overloaded method which uses the above to search the entire array: public boolean binarySearch(int[] array, int key)Write a test driver to test the methods. Bubble Sort(Reference: Wikipedia "Bubble Sort") The principle of bubble sort is to scan the elements from left-to-right, and whenever two adjacent elements are out-of-order, they are swapped. Repeat the passes until no swap are needed. For example, given the list [9 2 4 1 5], to sort in ascending order: Pass 1: 9 2 4 1 5 -> 2 9 4 1 5 2 9 4 1 5 -> 2 4 9 1 5 2 4 9 1 5 -> 2 4 1 9 5 2 4 1 9 5 -> 2 4 1 5 9 (After Pass 1, the largest item sorted on the right - bubble to the right) Pass 2: 2 4 1 5 9 -> 2 4 1 5 9 2 4 1 5 9 -> 2 1 4 5 9 2 1 4 5 9 -> 2 1 4 5 9 2 1 4 5 9 -> 2 1 4 5 9 (After Pass 2, the 2 largest items sorted on the right) Pass 3: 2 1 4 5 9 -> 1 2 4 5 9 1 2 4 5 9 -> 1 2 4 5 9 1 2 4 5 9 -> 1 2 4 5 9 1 2 4 5 9 -> 1 2 4 5 9 (After Pass 3, the 3 largest items sorted on the right) Pass 4: 1 2 4 5 9 -> 1 2 4 5 9 1 2 4 5 9 -> 1 2 4 5 9 1 2 4 5 9 -> 1 2 4 5 9 1 2 4 5 9 -> 1 2 4 5 9 (After Pass 4, the 4 largest items sorted on the right) No Swap in Pass 4. Done.See Wikipedia "Bubble Sort" for more examples and illustration. Write a method to sort an int array (in place) with the following signature: public static void bubbleSort(int[] array)Use the following pesudocode implementation: function bubbleSort(array) n = length(array) boolean swapped do { swapped = false for (i = 1; i < n; ++i) { if array[i-1] > array[i] { swap( A[i-1], A[i] ) swapped = true } } n = n - 1 } while (swapped)Selection Sort(Reference: Wikipedia "Selection Sort") This algorithm divides the lists into two parts: the left-sublist of items already sorted, and the right-sublist for the remaining items. Initially, the left-sorted-sublist is empty, while the right-unsorted-sublist is the entire list. The algorithm proceeds by finding the smallest (or largest) items from the right-unsorted-sublist, swapping it with the leftmost element of the right-unsorted-sublist, and increase the left-sorted-sublist by one. For example, given the list [9 6 4 1 5], to sort in ascending order: {} {9 6 4 1 5} -> {} {1 6 4 9 5} {1} {6 4 9 5} -> {1} {4 6 9 5} {1 4} {6 9 5} -> {1 4} {5 9 6} {1 4 5} {9 6} -> {1 4 5} {6 9} {1 4 5 6} {9} -> DONE {1 4 5 6 9}Write a method to sort an int array (in place) with the following signature: public static void selectionSort(int[] array)Insertion Sort(Reference: Wikipedia "Insertion Sort") Similar to the selection sort, but extract the leftmost element from the right-unsorted-sublist, and insert into the correct location of the left-sorted-sublist. For example, given [9 6 4 1 5 2 7], to sort in ascending order: {} {9 6 4 1 5 2 7} -> {9} {6 4 1 5 2 7} {9} {6 4 1 5 2 7} -> {6 9} {4 1 5 2 7} {6 9} {4 1 5 2 7} -> {4 6 9} {1 5 2 7} {4 6 9} {1 5 2 7} -> {1 4 6 9} {5 2 7} {1 4 6 9} {5 2 7} -> {1 4 5 6 9} {2 7} {1 4 5 6 9} {2 7} -> {1 2 4 5 6 9} {7} {1 2 4 5 6 9} {7} -> {1 2 4 5 6 7 9} {} {1 2 4 5 6 7 9} {} -> DoneWrite a method to sort an int array (in place) with the following signature: public static void insertionSort(int[] array)Recursive Quick Sort(Reference: Wikipedia "Quick Sort") Quicksort is a recursive divide and conquer algorithm. It divides the list into two sublists - the low elements and the high element, and recursively sort the sublists. The steps are:
For example, given [20 11 18 14 15 9 32 5 26], to sort in ascending order: Select the middle element as the pivot, place the pivot at the end of the list, by swapping with the last element {20 11 18 14 15 9 32 5 26} -> {20 11 18 14 26 9 32 5} {15} Partitioning: Initialize a variable swapPos (underlined), initially pointing to the leftmost element. Compare each element (in red) with the pivot, if the element is smaller than the pivot, swap with the element at the swapPos and increase swapPos by 1. otherwise, do nothing. {20 11 18 14 26 9 32 5} {15} -> larger, do nothing {20 11 18 14 26 9 32 5} {15} -> smaller, swap and increment swapPos -> {11 20 18 14 26 9 32 5} {15} {11 20 18 14 26 9 32 5} {15} -> larger, do nothing {11 20 18 14 26 9 32 5} {15} -> smaller, swap and increment swapPos -> {11 14 18 20 26 9 32 5} {15} {11 14 18 20 26 9 32 5} {15} -> larger, do nothing {11 14 18 20 26 9 32 5} {15} -> smaller, swap and increment swapPos -> {11 14 9 20 26 18 32 5} {15} {11 14 9 20 26 18 32 5} {15} -> larger, do nothing {11 14 9 20 26 18 32 5} {15} -> smaller, swap and increment swapPos -> {11 14 9 5 26 18 32 20} {15} Partitioning done. Swap the pivot. {11 14 9 5 15 18 32 20 26} All elements before the pivot are smaller; all elements after the pivot are larger. Pivot is sorted in the correct position. Recursively repeat the process for sublists {11 14 9 5} and {18 32 20 26}Write a recursive function called quickSort() as follows: public boolean quickSort(int[] array, int fromIdx, int toIdx) public boolean quickSort(int[] array)HintsSee Binary Search. Merge Sort(Reference: Wikipedia "Merge Sort") [TODO] Heap Sort(Reference: Wikipedia "Heap Sort") [TODO] Exercises on Algorithms - Number TheoryPerfect and Deficient NumbersA positive integer is called a perfect number if the sum of all its factors (excluding the number itself, i.e., proper divisor) is equal to its value. For example, the number 6 is perfect because its proper divisors are 1, 2, and 3, and 6=1+2+3; but the number 10 is not perfect because its proper divisors are 1, 2, and 5, and 10≠1+2+5. A positive integer is called a deficient number if the sum of all its proper divisors is less than its value. For example, 10 is a deficient number because 1+2+5<10; while 12 is not because 1+2+3+4+6>12. Write a boolean method called isPerfect(int aPosInt) that takes a positive integer, and return true if the number is perfect. Similarly, write a boolean method called isDeficient(int aPosInt) to check for deficient numbers. public static boolean isPerfect(int aPosInt); public static boolean isDeficient(int aPosInt);Using the methods, write a program called PerfectNumberList that prompts user for an upper bound (a positive integer), and lists all the perfect numbers less than or equal to this upper bound. It shall also list all the numbers that are neither deficient nor perfect. The output shall look like: Enter the upper bound: 1000 These numbers are perfect: 6 28 496 [3 perfect numbers found (0.30%)] These numbers are neither deficient nor perfect: 12 18 20 24 30 36 40 42 48 54 56 60 66 70 72 78 80 ...... [246 numbers found (24.60%)]Prime NumbersA positive integer is a prime if it is divisible by 1 and itself only. Write a boolean method called isPrime(int aPosInt) that takes a positive integer and returns true if the number is a prime. Write a program called PrimeList that prompts the user for an upper bound (a positive integer), and lists all the primes less than or equal to it. Also display the percentage of prime (rounded to 2 decimal places). The output shall look like: Please enter the upper bound: 10000 1 2 3 ...... ...... 9967 9973 [1230 primes found (12.30%)]HintsTo check if a number n is a prime, the simplest way is try dividing n by 2 to sqrt(n). Prime FactorsWrite a boolean method called isProductOfPrimeFactors(int aPosInt) that takes a positive integer, and return true if the product of all its prime factors (excluding 1 and the number itself) is equal to its value. For example, the method returns true for 30 (30=2×3×5) and false for 20 (20≠2×5). You may need to use the isPrime() method in the previous exercise. Write a program called PerfectPrimeFactorList that prompts user for an upper bound. The program shall display all the numbers (less than or equal to the upper bound) that meets the above criteria. The output shall look like: Enter the upper bound: 100 These numbers are equal to the product of prime factors: 1 6 10 14 15 21 22 26 30 33 34 35 38 39 42 46 51 55 57 58 62 65 66 69 70 74 77 78 82 85 86 87 91 93 94 95 [36 numbers found (36.00%)]Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)One of the earlier known algorithms is the Euclid algorithm to find the GCD of two integers (developed by the Greek Mathematician Euclid around 300BC). By definition, GCD(a, b) is the greatest factor that divides both a and b. Assume that a and b are positive integers, and a >= b, the Euclid algorithm is based on these two properties: GCD(a, 0) = a GCD(a, b) = GCD(b, a mod b), where (a mod b) denotes the remainder of a divides by b.For example, GCD(15, 5) = GCD(5, 0) = 5 GCD(99,88) = GCD(88,11) = GCD(11,0) = 11 GCD(3456,1233) = GCD(1233,990) = GCD(990,243) = GCD(243,18) = GCD(18,9) = GCD(9,0) = 9The pseudocode for the Euclid algorithm is as follows: GCD(a, b) while (b != 0) { temp ← b b ← a mod b a ← temp } GCD is aWrite a method called gcd() with the following signature: public static int gcd(int a, int b)Your methods shall handle arbitrary values of a and b, and check for validity. TryWrite a recursive version called gcdRecursive() to find the GCD. Final NotesThe only way to learn programming is program, program and program on challenging problems.
