2 Chapter 1 Exercises 1. What is volatile and nonvolatile memory? Volatile is a property of primary memory whereas nonvolatile is a property of secondary memory. Primary memory is volatile because when the power to the computer system is interrupted, the contents of primary memory are lost. Secondary memory is nonvolatile because when the power to the computer system is interrupted, the contents in secondary memory remain. 2. Name three input and three output devices. Input devices: mouse, keyboard, scanner Output devices: printer, monitor, and speakers 4. Define a memory address. A memory address is a numerical reference to a physical byte within a computer systems primary memory. The designers of the computer system fix this address. The address cannot be changed, but the contents in which the address refers can be changed. 5. What is a binary numeral? A binary numeral is a sequence of bits. A bit can have the value of either a 1 or a What is the decimal equivalent of the following binary numbers? 10110, 11001, = = = = = = = = = 21

3 7. Java is a multiplatform programming language. What does this statement mean? Java source code is compiled into a file containing byte code when is interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine. The Java Virtual Machine is designed to run on many different operating systems, making a Java a platform independent language.

4 Chapter 2 Exercises 1. What are the three categories of Java identifiers? Give an example of each category. Identifiers fall into one of three categories: identifiers that we invent, identifiers that another programmer has chosen, and identifiers that are part of the Java language. Identifiers we invent: sample, args Identifiers invented by others: System, out, println, main Identifiers included in the Java language: public, static, void, class 2. Is programming style, such as indentation, a requirement of the Java language? Programming style is not a requirement of the Java language. Although it is good to develop a basic style that uses white space, brace alignment and indentation to make the program easy for the human reader. 3. Write statements to display the following phrase exactly as shown: To be or not to be System.out.println("To be or"); System.out.println("not to be"); 4. Write statements to display the following phrase in one line of output. To be or not to be System.out.println("To be or not to be"); 5. What is the difference between the // comment notation and the /* */ comment notation? The // notation represents a single line comment and the /* */ notation represents a comment that spans several lines.

5 6. What is the purpose of the Javadoc utility? Give an example of a Javadoc utility comment. The Javadoc utility produces an HTML document that describes the classes and methods that use the Javadoc comment. /** This is a javadoc comment. It can span several lines. */ 7. What primitive data type would you use to represent the most precise real number? double 8. Write a statement to declare a variable to represent the sales tax percentage. Write a second statement to assign the variable the value of 9.25%. Then write a statement that computes the sales tax on a purchase of $19.95 and stores the result in a properly declared variable called salestax. What is the value of salestax? double salestaxrate; salestaxrate =.0925; double salestax = * salestaxrate; The value of salestax is Write a statement that displays the label Sales tax: and appends the calculated value from the previous exercise to the end of the label. System.out.println("Sales tax:" + salestax); 10. When the following sequence of statements executes, what is displayed? double length = 5.0; double width = 8.5; System.out.println("Length: " + length); System.out.println("Width: " + width); System.out.print("Area: "); System.out.println(length * width);

6 Length: 5.0 Width: 8.5 Area: Which of the following are literals? count, a, 7.5, letter, 10, salestax a, 7.5, and Write a statement to declare a named constant for a sales tax rate of 7.5%. final double salestaxrate =.075; 13. Why is it good practice to use named constants, as opposed to using literals? Named constants not only make a program more readable, but it also drastically reduces the chance of an error in the value of the constant that could be introduced if the literal value is used instead. 14. Consult the documentation of the Java class library for the Scanner class. What method would you use to read a string from a Scanner object? next() 15. Write a statement that asks the user to enter the sales tax rate. Write statements to create a Scanner object, and then use it to read and store the rate as a real number. System.out.print("Enter the sales tax rate: "); Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); double rate = keyboard.nextdouble();

7 16. Write an application that prints the following pattern: * ** *** **** ***** ***** **** *** ** * public class Pattern System.out.println("*"); System.out.println("**"); System.out.println("***"); System.out.println("****"); System.out.println("*****"); System.out.println("*****"); System.out.println("****"); System.out.println("***"); System.out.println("**"); System.out.println("*"); 17. Write an application that prompts for your name, address, birthday and hobby. Display each on separate lines, properly labeled. import java.util.*; /* This program prompts for your name, address, birthday and hobby, then displays each on separate lines, properly labeled. */ public class AboutYou Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); String name, streetaddress, city, state, zip, birthday, hobby; //Collect all the inputs System.out.print("Enter your name: "); name = keyboard.nextline();

8 System.out.print("Enter your street address: "); streetaddress = keyboard.nextline(); System.out.print("Enter your city: "); city = keyboard.nextline(); System.out.print("Enter your state: "); state = keyboard.nextline(); System.out.print("Enter your zip: "); zip = keyboard.nextline(); System.out.print("Enter your birthday: "); birthday = keyboard.nextline(); System.out.print("Enter your favorite hobby: "); hobby = keyboard.nextline(); //Display the inputs to the user System.out.println(); System.out.println("Name: " + name); System.out.println("Address: " + streetaddress); System.out.println("City: " + city); System.out.println("State: " + state); System.out.println("Zip: " + zip); System.out.println("Birthday: " + birthday); System.out.println("Hobby: " + hobby);

14 Chapter 4 Exercises 1. What does it mean to instantiate an object? Instantiating an object is simply the process of creating a new instance of a class type. This is usually accomplished using the new operator. 2. What is a reference variable? How does it relate to an alias? A reference variable is a variable of a class type. A reference variable contains the memory address of the object it refers to. An alias is simply an object with multiple references. 3. Display the following tabbed heading by using one println statement. Name Address City State Zip System.out.println("Name\tAddress\tCity\tState\tZip"); 4. In the expression one.concat(two), what object is the receiving object? The receiving object is one. 5. What do the following statements display? String data = "54 Long Street"; Scanner scan = new Scanner(data); System.out.println(scan.next()); What is the difference in meaning between the following two statements? import java.util.date; import java.util.*; The first statement only imports the class Date from the java.util package. The second statement imports the entire java.util package.

15 7. Write statements that a. Define a Date object. b. Define a string that contains only the date portion of the Date object. For example, if the string representation of the Date object is "WedJul3016:19:38EDT2010", define the string "Jul 30, 2010". c. Define a string that contains only the time portion of the Date. object. a. Date adateobject = new Date(); b. String date = adateobject.tostring(); String month = date.substring(3, 6); String day = date.substring(6, 8); String year = date.substring(19); String dateportion = month + " " + day + ", " + year; c. String date = adateobject.tostring(); String time = adateobject.substring(8, 19); 8. When constructing a BigDecimal object, why is it desirable to pass the constructor a string that represents the numeric value? You write the desired value of the BigDecimal object as a string to preserve its accuracy. 9. By consulting the online documentation of the Java Class Library for the class BigDecimal, answer the following questions. a. What constructor would you use to construct a BigDecimal object from a string that is rounded toward positive infinity? b. What method would you use to convert a BigDecimal object to a floating-point value? c. What method would you use to move the decimal point of a BigDecimal object two places to the left? a. BigDecimal(String val, MathContext mc) b. floatvalue() c. movepointleft(int n) 10. Why is the method equals provided for the wrapper classes in the Java Class Library? The equals method is provided not only for the wrapper classes in Java but for other classes as well. The equals method allows one to compare two objects to determine if their data components are equivalent.

16 11. Complete the following table of maximum and minimum values for the wrapper classes: Wrapper Class MAX_VALUE MIN_VALUE Byte 2 7 "1 "2 7 Character Double Float Integer Long Short Wrapper Class MAX_VALUE MIN_VALUE Byte 2 7 "1 "2 7 Character /uffff /u0000 Double ( 2 " 2 "52 ) # "1074 Float (2 " 2 "23 ) # "149 Integer 2 31 "1 "2 31 Long 2 63 "1 "2 63 Short 2 15 "1 " After consulting the online documentation for the class JOptionPane in the Java Class Library, describe the differences among the methods showconfirmdialog, showinputdialog, and showmessagedialog. The showconfirmdialog method presents a dialog box that asks a confirming question such as yes, no, or cancel. The showinputdialog method presents a dialog box that accepts input. The showmessagedialog method presents a dialog box that relays a message. 13. Given a Random object called rand, what does the call rand.nextdouble() return? A pseudorandom, uniformly distributed, double value between 0.0 and 1.0 will be returned. 14. What do the following statements display? System.out.println(Integer.parseInt("17")); System.out.println(Integer.parseInt("17", 10)); System.out.println(Integer.parseInt("17", 16)); Why must numeric input read from an input dialog box be parsed?

17 The input dialog reads all data provided by the user as a string. If we were collecting numeric data for computations, the string must be parsed into the correct format before being used in any computation, otherwise, we would get unexpected results. For example, suppose a dialog box was provided to enter two floating-point values to be summed. When the plus sign appears between two strings, concatenation occurs. 16. The program in Listing 4-1 uses the method nextline to read the first and last names of a person. Revise the program using the method next instead of nextline to read the first and last names into separate variables. Your revised program should produce the same output as the original program in Listing 4-1. import java.util.scanner; public class StringDemoEx16 Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Please type your first name, a space, and " + "your last name: "); String firstname = keyboard.next(); String lastname = keyboard.next(); int namelength = firstname.length() + lastname.length(); char firstinitial = firstname.charat(0); char lastinitial = lastname.charat(0); String initials = firstinitial + ". " + lastinitial + "."; System.out.println("Hi, " + firstname + " " + lastname + ".\nyour name contains " + namelength + " characters."); System.out.println("Your first name is " + firstname + "."); System.out.println("Your last name is " + lastname + "."); System.out.println("Your initials are " + initials); // end main // end StringDemoEx Many programs convert the information provided by the user to a consistent format. For example, we could require all data that is read to be converted to uppercase. Create a Java program that reads, converts to uppercase, and displays a person s name and full address. import java.util.scanner; public class UpperCase

18 Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); //Collect the information System.out.println("Please type your name: "); String name = keyboard.nextline(); name = name.trim(); System.out.println("Please type your street address: "); String streetaddress = keyboard.nextline(); streetaddress = streetaddress.trim(); System.out.println("Please type your city: "); String city = keyboard.nextline(); city = city.trim(); System.out.println("Please type your state: "); String state = keyboard.nextline(); state = state.trim(); System.out.println("Please type your zip code: "); String zipcode = keyboard.nextline(); zipcode = zipcode.trim(); //Convert the information name = name.touppercase(); streetaddress = streetaddress.touppercase(); city = city.touppercase(); state = state.touppercase(); //Display the information System.out.println(name); System.out.println(streetAddress); System.out.println(city + ", " + state + " " + zipcode); 18. Write a program that displays a tree, such as the following one, using text characters: /\ / \ / \ / \ / \ "" "" "" Remember to use escape sequences to display the characters \ and the ".

19 public class Tree System.out.println(" /\\"); System.out.println(" / \\"); System.out.println(" / \\"); System.out.println(" / \\"); System.out.println(" / \\"); System.out.println(" "); System.out.println(" \" \""); System.out.println(" \" \""); System.out.println(" \" \""); // end main // end Tree 19. Write a Java program using the methods of the class JOptionPane to read a string containing an address. The string must begin as My address is and be followed by an address. Extract the address from the string using methods of the class Scanner, and display it using the methods of the class JOptionPane. Demonstrate that only bob@bob.com is extracted from the string My address is bob@bob.com. import javax.swing.joptionpane; import java.util.scanner; public class Extractor String extractionstring = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter a string containing an address:"); //Scan the string for spaces; the 5th space should be the //start of the address Scanner scan = new Scanner(extractionString); scan.usedelimiter("\\s"); String = scan.next(); = scan.next(); = scan.next(); = scan.next(); = scan.next(); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, " address: " + ); System.exit(0);

20 20. Write a program that generates and displays five random numbers within the range 0.0 to 1.0. Allow the user to provide the seed. Display the random numbers with four digits after the decimal point. import java.util.random; import java.util.scanner; import java.text.decimalformat; public class MyRandomGenerator Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter a seed for the random number " + "generator: "); long seed = keyboard.nextlong(); //Seed the generator Random generator = new Random(seed); //Generate 5 random numbers double firstnumber = generator.nextdouble(); double secondnumber = generator.nextdouble(); double thirdnumber = generator.nextdouble(); double fourthnumber = generator.nextdouble(); double fifthnumber = generator.nextdouble(); DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat("0.0000"); System.out.println("Five random numbers in the range of 0.0 " + "to 1.0:"); System.out.println(formatter.format(firstNumber)); System.out.println(formatter.format(secondNumber)); System.out.println(formatter.format(thirdNumber)); System.out.println(formatter.format(fourthNumber)); System.out.println(formatter.format(fifthNumber));
