NameAge

** Description:** Reads two command-line arguments and prints both out in a sentence. By doing this exercise you will learn the difference between print() and println(). ** Examples:**

  • java NameAge Alice 19

  • Alice is 19 years old.
  • java NameAge FatherTime 999

  • FatherTime is 999 years old.

public class NameAge {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
 
        // Modify HelloWorld.java to read a name and an age from
        // the command line (both handled as String arguments) and
        // output: [NAME] is [AGE] years old.
        
        System.out.print(args[0]);
        System.out.print(" is ");
         System.out.print(args[1]);
         System.out.println(" years old");
 
    }

NextYear

** Description:** NextYear takes two command-line arguments, a name andan age. It prints how old that person will be next year. By doing this exercise, you will learn the difference between + for concatenation and + for addition.

Examples:

  • java NextYear Alice 19

  • Next year Alice will be 20 years old.
  • java NextYear FatherTime 999

  • Next year FatherTime will be 1000 years old.

public class NextYear {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       
 
        // Modify NameAge.java. Use Integer.parseInt() to store the
        // age as an integer and output: Next year [NAME] will be [AGE+1]
        // years old.
        System.out.println(" Next Year " + args[0] + " will be " + 
                           (Integer.parseInt(args[1]) + 1) + " Years Old " );
        //System.out.print(args[0] );
        //System.out.print(" will be ");
        //System.out.print(Integer.parseInt(args[1] +1);
        //System.out.println(" years old");
 
 
    }
}
           

HiFour

Strings and command-line arguments. Write a program HiFour.java that takes four first names as command-line arguments and prints a proper sentence with the names in the reverse of the order given. Here are two sample executions: % java HiFour Alice Bob Carol Dave Hi Dave, Carol, Bob, and Alice. % java HiFour Alejandro Bahati Chandra Deshi Hi Deshi, Chandra, Bahati, and Alejandro.*/



public class HiFour{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        System.out.println(" Hi " + args[0] + " , "+ args[1] + " , " + args[2]
                               + " , " +  " and " + args[3]);
        
        }
    
}


PercentScore:

Description: Compute your grade on a two-part exam. You will be given 4 command-line arguments:

  1. The number of questions you got right on the first part.
  2. The total number of questions on the first part.
  3. The number of questions you got right on the second part.
  4. The total number of questions on the second part. Output your percentage score on the exam. For example, for PercentScore 8 10 15 17 since you got a total of 23 questions correct out of 27 and 23/27 = 0.8518 you should print:85.18518518518519. Examples:

    java PercentScore 8 10 15 17 85.18518518518519

 
 public class PercentScore {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        // read 4 command-line arguments
        int grade1 = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        int grade2 = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
        int grade3 = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);
        int grade4 = Integer.parseInt(args[3]);

        
        
        // calculate the result
        double correct= grade1+grade3;
        double  wrong=grade2+grade4;
        double average = correct/wrong *100;
 
        
        // print the result
        System.out.println("Correct answers =  " + correct);
         System.out.println("Wrong answers = " + wrong);
         System.out.println("Percentscore is = " + average);
 
    }   
}
 
 

SumThree

Integers. Read Section 1.2 (through page 23) of the textbook. Write a program SumThree.java that takes three int command-line arguments and prints the three integers and their sum in the form of an equation.

% java SumThree 2 5 8 2 + 5 + 8 = 15

% java SumThree -2 5 -8 -2 + 5 + -8 = -5 */


public class SumThree{
    public static void main(String [] args){
        
        int result= Integer.parseInt(args[0]) +Integer.parseInt(args[1]) +
            Integer.parseInt(args[2]);
        
        System.out.println(args[0] + " + " + args[1] +  "  + " + args[2] + " = "
                               + result );
        
        
    }
}



ThreeSort:

Description: Reads three integer command-line arguments and prints them in ascending order.

Hint: Don’t use conditionals for this; use Math.min() and Math.max().

Example: % java ThreeSort 17 50 33

  • 17 33 50

public class ThreeSort {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        // command-line input
        int a = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        int b= Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
        int c = Integer.parseInt(args[2]);
 
 
        // compute the order
        
        int max=Math.max(Math.max(a,b),c);
        int min =Math.min(Math.min(a,b ), c);
        int middle = a + b + c - max - min;
  
 
        // output in ascending order
        
        System.out.println(min+"\n" + middle+ "\n"+ max);
  
    }
}


Eggsactly

Description: A typical egg carton holds 12 eggs. Write a program that takes an integer command-line argument representing the number of eggs your chickens have laid. Print two numbers: the number of full cartons of eggs you can take to market, and the number of eggs that will be left over. Hint: use %.

** Examples:**

  • java Eggsactly 12

  • 1 0
  • java Eggsactly 27

  • 2 3

public class Eggsactly {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
 
        // reads total number of eggs
        int n = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
 
        // print number of filled cartons
        System.out.print(n/12);   
        System.out.print(" ");
 
        // print number of eggs left over
        System.out.println(n%12); 
    }   
}



GreatCircle

/* Floating-point numbers and the Math library. The great circle distance is

  • the shortest distance between two points on the surface of a sphere if you
  • are constrained to travel along the surface. Write a program GreatCircle.java that takes four double command-line arguments x1, y1, x2, and y2 (the latitude and longitude, in degrees, of two points on the surface of the earth) and prints the great-circle distance (in nautical miles) between them. Use the following formula, which is derived from the spherical law of cosines: distance=60arccos(sinx1sinx2+cosx1cosx2cos(y1−y2))

This formula uses degrees, whereas Java’s trigonometric functions use radians.Use Math.toRadians() and Math.toDegrees() to convert between the two.For reference, a nautical mile is 1/60 of a degree of an arc along a meridian of the Earth (which is approximately 1.151 miles).

% java GreatCircle 40.35 74.65 48.87 -2.33 // Princeton to Paris 3185.1779271158425 nautical miles

% java GreatCircle 48.87 -2.33 40.35 74.65 // Paris to Princeton 3185.1779271158425 nautical miles */


public class GreatCircle{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        
        double x1=Math.toRadians(Double.parseDouble(args[0]));
        double y1=Math.toRadians(Double.parseDouble(args[1]));
        double x2=Math.toRadians(Double.parseDouble(args[2]));
        double y2=Math.toRadians(Double.parseDouble(args[3]));
        
        
        
        double angle = Math.acos(Math.sin(x1) * Math.sin(x2)
                      + Math.cos(x1) * Math.cos(x2) * Math.cos(y1 - y2));
        
      
        // distance=60arccos(sinx1sinx2+cosx1cosx2cos(y1−y2)
      
        angle = Math.toDegrees(angle);


        double distance = 60 * angle;

        System.out.println(distance + " nautical miles");

        
        
        
    }
}


RGBtoCMYK

Type conversion. Several different formats are used to represent color.For example, the primary format for LCD displays, digital cameras, and web pages—known as the RGB format—specifies the level of red (R), green (G), and blue (B) on an integer scale from 0 to 255. The primary format for publishing books and magazines—known as the CMYK format—specifies the level of cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K) on a real scale from 0.0 to 1.0. Write a program RGBtoCMYK.java that converts from RGB format to CMYK format. Your program must take three integer command-line arguments red, green, and blue; print the RGB values; then print the equivalent CMYK values using these mathematical formulas:

  • white=max(red/255,green/255,blue/255)
  • cyan=(white - red/255)/white
  • magenta=(white- green/255)/white
  • yellow=(white-blue/255)/white
  • black= 1 - white

  • % java RGBtoCMYK 75 0 130 // indigo
  • red = 75
  • green = 0
  • blue = 130
  • cyan = 0.423076923076923
  • magenta = 1.0
  • yellow = 0.0
  • black = 0.4901960784313726

  • % java RGBtoCMYK 255 143 0 // Princeton orange
  • red = 255
  • green = 143
  • blue = 0
  • cyan = 0.0
  • magenta = 0.4392156862745098
  • yellow = 1.0
  • black = 0.0

*** Hint. Recall that Math.max(x, y) returns the maximum of x and y.

*** Restriction: You may not use if statements on this assignment, but you may assume that the command-line arguments are not all simultaneously zero */

RandomWalker

A drone’s flight. A drone begins flying aimlessly, starting at Nassau Hall. At each time step, the drone flies one meter in a random direction, either north, east, south, or west, with probability 25%. How far will the drone be from Nassau Hall after n steps? This process is known as a two-dimensional random walk. Write a program RandomWalker.java that takes an integer command-line argument n and simulates the motion of a random walk for n steps. Print the location at each step (including the starting point), treating the starting point as the origin (0, 0). Also, print the square of the final Euclidean distance from the origin.



public class RandomWalkers
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int steps = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);

        int x = 0, y = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < steps; i++)
        {
            double rand = Math.random();
            if(rand < 0.25)
                x++; // move to east
            else if(rand < 0.5)
                y--; // move to north
            else if(rand < 0.75)
                x--; // move to west
            else if(rand < 1.0)
                y++;
            System.out.println("(" + x + ", " + y + ")");
        }
        System.out.println("squared distance = " + (x*x + y*y));
    }
}



Random Walkers


/*Write a program RandomWalkers.java that takes two integer command-line
 * arguments n and trials. In each of trials independent experiments, 
 * simulate a random walk of n steps and compute the squared distance. 
 * Output the mean squared distance (the average of the trials 
 * squared distances).
% java RandomWalkers 100 10000         % java RandomWalkers 400 2000
mean squared distance = 101.446         mean squared distance = 383.12

% java RandomWalkers 100 10000         % java RandomWalkers 800 5000
mean squared distance = 99.1674         mean squared distance = 811.8264

% java RandomWalkers 200 1000         % java RandomWalkers 1600 100000
mean squared distance = 195.75          mean squared distance = 1600.13064
As n increases, we expect the random walk to end up farther and farther away 
from the origin. But how much farther? Use RandomWalkers to formulate a
hypothesis as to how the mean squared distance grows as a function of n. 
Use trials = 100,000 to get a sufficiently accurate estimate.

This process is a discrete version of a natural phenomenon known as 
Brownian motion. It serves as a scientific model for an astonishing 
range of physical processes from the dispersion of ink flowing in water, 
to the formation of polymer chains in chemistry, to cascades of neurons 
firing in the brain.*/
