Answer:

Following is printfeetinchshort method in Java:

 void printfeetinchshort (int numfeet, int numinches)

 {

   System.out.println (numfeet + "\'"+numinches+"\"");

In the above method escape character (\) is used to print single inverted comma (') and double inverted comma (") using \' and \".

Following is the Java program to implement the above method:

public class Main

{

 public static void main (String[]args)

 {

   printfeetinchshort(5,8);

 }

 public static void printfeetinchshort (int numfeet, int numinches)
