6 0

P.W Singer stated:

"And think about it this way: We don't use Wang computers anymore, or Commodore 64s, kids don't play Atari videogames. Those companies may have been at the forefront of the digital revolution, they're not anymore. Same thing in war. You know the British invent the tank. The Germans figure out how to use the tank better,"

In this scenario, two friends are eating dinner at a restaurant. The bill comes in the amount of 47.28 dollars. The friends deci
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The java program for the given scenario is as follows.

import java.util.*;

import java.lang.*;

public class Main

{

   //variables for bill and tip declared and initialized

   static double bill=47.28, tip=0.15;

   //variables for total bill and share declared

   static double total, share1;

public static void main(String[] args) {

    double total_tip= (bill*tip);

    //total bill computed

    total = bill + total_tip;

    //share of each friend computed

    share1 = total/2;

    System.out.printf("Each person needs to pay: $%.2f", share1);  

}

}

Explanation:

1. The variables to hold the bill and tip percent are declared as double and initialized with the given values.

static double bill=47.28, tip=0.15;

2. The variables to hold the values of total bill amount and total tip are declared as double.

3. All the variables are declared outside main() and at class level, hence declared as static.

4. Inside main(), the values of total tip, total bill and share of each person are computed as shown.

double total_tip= (bill*tip);

total = bill + total_tip;

share1 = total/2;

5. The share of each person is displayed to the user. The value is displayed with only two decimal places which is assured by %.2f format modifier. The number of decimal places required can be changed by changing the number, i.e. 2. This format is used with printf() and not with println() method.

System.out.printf("Each person needs to pay: $%.2f", share1);  

6. The program is not designed to take any user input.

7. The program can be tested for any value of bill and tip percent.

8. The whole code is put inside a class since java is a purely object-oriented language.

9. Only variables can be declared outside method, the logic is put inside a method in a purely object-oriented language.

10. As shown, the logic is put inside the main() method and only variables are declared outside the method.

11. Due to simplicity, the program consists of only one class.

12. The output is attached.

consider the following code segment, which appears in a method in a class other than password. the code segment does not compile
Romashka [77]

The code segment does not compile because the method 'reset' does not return a value that can be displayed.

A method refers to a block of that which only runs when it is called. It is permissible to pass data, referred to as parameters, into a method. Methods are used to accomplish certain actions, and they are also called functions. As per the given code segment that appears as a method in a class, it does not compile because the method named 'reset' is not returning a value that can be printed on the screen as an output.

Write a program that prompts the user to enter in a postive number. Only accept positive numbers - if the user supplies a negati
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The c++ program to check prime numbers is shown below.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {

   int num, prime=0;

   do

   {

       cout<<"Enter a positive number."<<endl;

       cin>>num;

       if(num<1)

       {

           cout<<"Invalid number. Enter a positive number"<<endl;

           cin>>num;

       }

   }while(num<1);

   

   if(num==1 || num==2 || num==3)

       cout<<num<<" is a prime number."<<endl;

   else if(num%2 == 0)

       cout<<num<<" is not a prime number."<<endl;

   else

   {

       for(int k=3; k<num/2; k++)

       {

           if(num%k == 0)

               prime++;

       }    

   if(prime>1)

       cout<<num<<" is not a prime number."<<endl;

   else

       cout<<num<<" is a prime number."<<endl;

   }

}

OUTPUT

Enter a positive number.

-7

Invalid number. Enter a positive number

0

Enter a positive number.

79

79 is a prime number.

Explanation:

The user input is validated for positivity. A do while loop along with an if statement is implemented for verification.

do

   {

       cout<<"Enter a positive number."<<endl;

       cin>>num;

       if(num<1)

       {

           cout<<"Invalid number. Enter a positive number"<<endl;

           cin>>num;

       }

   }while(num<1);

The test for prime number is done by using multiple if else statements.

If user inputs 1, 2, or 3, message is displayed.

Else If user inputs an even number, message is displayed for not prime. This is done by taking modulo of the number upon division by 2.

Else if user inputs neither an even number nor a number less than 3, the modulus of the number is taken with divisors beginning from 3 up to half of the input number.

For this, an integer variable prime is initialized to 0. A number can be completely divisible by itself or by its factors.

If the number is divisible by any of the divisors, value of variable prime is increased by 1. If value of prime is greater than 1, this means that the user input is divisible by more than one divisor. Hence, the given number is not a prime number.
