3 This flowchart asks the user for their desired download speed. Then, it prints the cost of the service. Write the code that would result from this flowchart. Make sure that the code is efficient. Start Get Mpbs >= 1000 F F F >= 300 >= 150 Cost is $69.99 T T T Cost is $ Cost is $94.99 Cost is $84.99 End

4 Write a method that, when given a download speed in as a parameter, returns the corresponding cost of the service. There should be no input or output in the method. Download Speed Up to 1000 Up to 300 Up to 150 Up to 75 Cost $ $94.99 $84.99 $69.00

5 Write the code for the actionperformed Method of the Internet Cost Calculator using the cost guidelines given. Download Speed? () Evaluate The cost is $XX.XX speed answer Download Speed Up to 1000 Up to 300 Up to 150 Up to 75 Cost $ $94.99 $84.99 $69.00

6 Create two arrays. One should hold the Download Speeds. The other, the cost. Download Speed Up to 1000 Up to 300 Up to 150 Up to 75 Cost $ $94.99 $84.99 $69.00 Print both arrays in a table format. Write a program that finds the average cost. Write a program that asks for the speed and prints out the cost.

10 for (int j = 1 ; j < 10 ; j++) { System.out.print ("*"); } Prints 9 stars ********* Gold Star Start j=1 j<10 * j++ End false true

11 Shape Formal: informal Rules Terminal: start, end Input/Output: IO keyboard input Process: calculations Display: output new Decision: Boolean expression There is only one start and one end. Arrows connect the pieces. Flow is up to down or left to right. Lines do not cross. The only shape with can have 2 lines come out of it is a diamond. No shape can have more than 2 lines come out of it.

12 I promise you: It s on the exam. System.out.println ("Welcome!\n"); char end = 'n'; while (end == 'n') { System.out.println ("\nthis is the song that never ends,"); System.out.println ("Yes it goes on and on, my friends!"); System.out.println ("Some people started singing it,"); System.out.println ("Not knowing what it was,"); System.out.println ("And they'll continue singing it FOREVER"); System.out.println ("Just because...\n"); } 1. Initialize the loop variable end = IO.inputChar ("End? (n/y) "); 2. Test the stopping condition System.out.println ("\nyou ruined the song! Good bye."); 3. Move towards the stopping condition 4. Steps to repeat

13 Big-Oh Name Algorithms O(1) Constant Time Swap, Reference an element O(log n) Logarithmic Time Binary search O(n) Linear Time Print, Sum, Max, Min, Average, Search, Bin Sort, Bubble (best case) O(n log n) Quicksort, Mergesort O(n 2 ) Quadratic Time Selection sort, Bubble sort O(n 3 ) Cubic Time O(2 n ) Exponential Time O(n!) Factorial Time O is order, N is the number of array elements. The entire notation is a mathematical expression for the number of operations required by the algorithm.
