Chapter 5.1, Problem 10STQ
Define a method called getDensity that could be added to the definition of the class SpeciesSecondTry in Listing 5.6
. This method has one parameter of type double that is named area. The parameter area gives the area occupied by the species, expressed in square miles. The method getDensity returns a value of type double that is equal to the number of individuals per square mile of the species. You can assume that the area is always greater than zero. (Hint: The definition is very short.)

JAVA
Method Overloading is a feature that allows a class to have more than one method having the same name, if their argument lists are different. Design a simple class and define a maximum method that finds the maximum of two integer values? Design an application to test that your new method is working properly. Now overload the maximum method to accept three double values and return the maximum of these three values? Finally overload the maximum method again such that it accept four double or four integer values and return the average of these four values?
Modify your main( ) application to call and test these new methods. In each case the maximum overloaded methods should return the correct maximum values. Attach you java source codes and a screenshot of the output(s).

Create a class called Numbers, which has a single class attribute called MULTIPLIER, and a constructor which takes the parameters x and y (these should all be numbers).
Write a method called add which returns the sum of the attributes x and y.
Write a class method called multiply, which takes a single number parameter aand returns the product of a and MULTIPLIER.
Write a static method called subtract, which takes two number parameters, b and c, and returns b - c.
Write a method called value which returns a tuple containing the values of x and y. Make this method into a property, and write a setter and a deleter for manipulating the values of x and y.

The following is a class definition for a simple Ebook. Two instance variables and one parameterless constructor are provided.
Part 1: Write a second constructor that takes a String array of pages as input and sets the String array instance variable equal to the input. Continue to default the current page number to zero.
Part 2: Write a getter and a setter method for the page number variable. The setter should check to make sure that the input is a valid page number and only update the variable if the new value is valid.
Part 3: Write a getCurrentPage method that returns the String of the current page indexed by current_page.
public class Ebook{ private String[] pages; private int current_page; //constructor public Ebook() { this.pages = {"See Spot.", "See Spot run.", "Run, Spot, run."}; this.current_page = 0; }}

- In this activity, you will modify a method (function) to simulate a financial transaction check. Just like when you use your debit card at an ATM. The requested transaction either gets accepted or declined by the bank. By modifying an if-else statement you will be able to perform this check. If the transaction requested cannot be processed due to insufficient funds, tell the user. If the transaction can succeed, then tell the user that that is the case. Your task: Add to the MathMachine.java file so that it has a complete codelblock called the transactionRequest() method. Fill in the Boolean logic in the if statement so that the correct message is sent to the user. Notice the use of this.cardBalance inside the MathMachine class. See how it is private to the MathMachine class? Consider how it might be used in your transactionRequest() method to solve the boolean logic issue. The keyword "this" means "this class". In our example, it means that we're dealing with the MathMachine class.…arrow_forwardCan you implement an interface in your class?

Design and specify a method difference for the ArrayBag that returns as a new bag the difference of the bag receiving the call to the method and the bag that is the method's parameter. The method signature is: ArrayBag<ItemType> bagDifference(const ArrayBag<ItemType> &otherBag) const; Note that the difference of two bags might contain duplicate items. For example, if object x occurs five times in one bag and twice in another, the difference of these bags contains x three times.
