Array Fun 2 [2023]

Complete all the methods below. When you are done, copy and paste the testmethods.v5.1 into your class and run it to see if you have any obvious errors. The above code does not guarantee you a 100 but will help catch most of the common errors that students make.

Note: You may not use any external libraries (like Java.Arrays etc )or import any code. Everything can be done with just loops and variables.

int sumEveryN(int[] nums, int n)

Description:This method returns the sum of every n elements of nums ..

Method Call	return value/output
sumEveryN( {1 , 2 , 3 , 4 }, 2 )	4( ie 1 +3)
sumEveryN( {13 , 42, 15, 33 , 44 , 16 , 52} ,3)	98 ( ie 13 + 33+ 52)

String[] doubleArr(String[] strs)

Description: This method returns a new version of strs in which each element now appears twice. This can be done with a for-each loop, which I believe is easier and more intuitive.

Method Call	return value/output
doubleArr( {“a”,”b”,”c”} )	{“a”,”a”,”b”,”b”, “c” , “c”}
doubleArr( {“math”,”ware”,”house”,”.com” })	{“math”,”math”,”ware”,”ware”,”house”,”house”,”.com”, “.com”}

int indexOf5(int[] nums )

Description:This returns the index of the first occurrence element 5 or -1 if 5 does not appear anywhere in the array.

Method Call	return value/output
indexOf5( { 2 , 3 , 5 , 4 } )	2
indexOf5( { 2 , 3 , 5 , 4, 5 } )	2
indexOf5( { 2 , 3 ,7 , 4, 3, } )	-1

More Sample calls and return vals

int indexOf(int[] nums, int num)

Description: This method returns the index value of the first appearance of num or -1 if num is not an element of nums .

Method Call	return value/output
indexOf( {6,4 ,7,3, 4 }, 4)	1
indexOf( {6,4 7 ,3,2,7}, 7)	2
indexOf( {6,4 ,2,3}, 22)	-1

int[] randos(int start, int end, int howMany)

Description: This method returns an array of random numbers between [start,end] . Note make sure that each element in the new array attempts to make a new random int. Use Math.random() , do not use any other mechanism for finding a random number.

More example calls and returns :

double meanBetween(int[] nums, int min, int max)

Description: This method returns the mean of nums ; however, this method only counts values within the range (min,max) as shown in the examples below:

(Not inclusive, so do not count min or max )

int secondSmallest(int[] nums )

Description: This method returns the element of nums with the second smallest value.

Note: You may not modify the input array. For instance, you may not put nums in order, which would be bad because you were not asked to modify the array.

@precondition: nums.length >= 2

Note: You will lose credit if you use a constant to represent the smallest or second smallest number. See pseudocode

Method Call	return value/output
secondSmallest( { 2 , 18 , 22, 4 , 6 } )	4
secondSmallest( { 3 , 7 , 15 , 1 ,101} )	3

boolean isPalindromic(int[] nums)

Description:This method returns true if the elements of nums are a palindrome.

Method Call	return value/output
isPalindromic(( { 5 , 2, 7 , 2 , 5} )	true
isPalindromic( { 5 , 2, 7 , 3 , 5} ))	false
isPalindromic(( { 1 , 2, 1} )	true

String Loop Assignments [Java]

Write the body for the methods described below.

Tester File here (This one does not yet test the newest method)

As always, do not import any external libraries. All of the coding can be accomplished by using just loops, arrays, strings and variables. Using anything else will lead to total loss of credit on associated methods.

Once you have completed each method, copy and paste the code in this file into your class. Then run the test() method and you will get feedback on your code. Note: This does not test all the methods. I have added new methods since writing that tester file. Also, please make sure that:

all methods are spelled/capitalized exactly as shown on this page
variables are camelcase and have meaningful names
for i loops use i as a variable
for-each loops do not use i as the variable

For each method below, you can assume that the parameters are not null

Part I

New Method 11.16 – Tester file updated 11.17

boolean isAfterN(String str, String chrs, int index)

Description: This method returns true if chrs appears in str after index .

int countF(String str)

Description: This method returns the number of times that the the lower case letter ‘f’ occurs in str .

Method Call	return value/output
countF(“abcdef”)	1
countF(“abcdfef”)	2
countF(“fff”)	3
countF(“xxx”)	0

boolean hasN_Fs(String str, int n )

Description: This method returns true if str has exactly n occurrences of the letter ‘f’ in it.

String threeTimes(String str)

Description: This method returns the String str concatenated with itself three times

Method Call	return value/output
threeTimes(“foog”)	“foogfoogfoog”
threeTimes(“abc”)	“abcabcabc”
threeTimes(“zt”)	“ztztzt”
threeTimes(“”)	“”

String nTimes(String str, int n)

Description: This method returns the String str concatenated with itself n times

Method Call	return value/output
nTimes(“fg” , 2 )	“fgfg”
nTimes(“abc” , 0 )	“”
nTimes(“zt” , 3 )	“ztztzt”
nTimes(“uiz” , 4 )	“uizuizuizuiz”

int countMiddleChar(String str)

Precondition: str.length() ≥ 3.

countMiddleChar(“acbcx” )	1
countMiddleChar(“bbbbb” )	5
countMiddleChar(“xytbtzy”)	1

int indexOf(String haystack, String needle)

Description: Write your own indexOf() method. Just to avoid any confusion – you cannot make use of the String’s built in indexOf() method. Our method returns the index of the 1st occurrence of needle in haystack . (Full credit if you can get this to work with Strings whose length is greater than 1).

int countChars(String str, String chars)

@precondtion : chars.length() <= str.lenght()

Description: This method returns the number of times that chars occurs in String str .

Method Call	return value/output
countChars(“momdadmom” , “dad” )	1

String[] toArraySansChar(String str, char ch)

Description: This method returns an array of Strings comprised of single letter strings extracted from the input String str ; however, we will always skip the char ch :

    char c = '3';
    String s = String.valueOf(c);

1 2	char c = '3'; String s = String.valueOf(c);

String[] reversedBy2s(String str)

Description: This method returns an array of Strings comprised of pairs of characters from the input, — in reverse order as shown below:

reversed_by2s

String reverseBy3s(String str)

Description: This is like the prior method, except you are going by 3’s and returning a String , not an array of Strings.

boolean isPalindrome(String str)

Description: This method returns true if str is a palindrome

Method Call	return value/output
isPalindrome(“abc” )	false
isPalindrome(“aba” )	true
isPalindrome(“abba” )	true

Java Stack Assignment

A Stack is a “LIFO” data structure (last in first out).

Here’ s an animation of how stacks are used in an RPN calculator.

More RPN practice

Create a stack Class that is based off of your linkedList code.

A stack has the following 3 methods

Stack Methods

pop()
push()
peek() //return last element without removing
size()

Stack Methods

pop()

push()

peek() //return last element without removing

size()

public class Stack
{
 private LinkedList _innerList; 
 
 public Stack()
 {
 _innerList = new LinkedList();
 
 }

public class Stack

{

private LinkedList _innerList;

public Stack()

{

_innerList = new LinkedList();

}

public Node peek(){
// return the tail from Stack without removing
return null;
}

public Node peek(){

// return the tail from Stack without removing

return null;

}

public Node pop(){ // remove the tail from the list and return that element return null; } public void push(Node n){ // add the node to the end of the list } }

1	public Node pop(){ // remove the tail from the list and return that element return null; } public void push(Node n){ // add the node to the end of the list } }

Create an RPN calculator Class

public class RPNCalc{


// this method computes the value of an
//  if syntax is invalid, you should throw a ArithmeticException

public double evaluate( String rpnString) throws ArithmeticException{

    return 0.1;
}

}

public class RPNCalc{

// this method computes the value of an

// if syntax is invalid, you should throw a ArithmeticException

public double evaluate( String rpnString) throws ArithmeticException{

return 0.1;

}

Class Roster Array Version [Java] Assignment

Class Roster: This class will implement the functionality of all roster for school. It will , in essence, manage an Array of Student objects. Each roster will store a default of 10 Students

“global” Instance Variables
- private Student myStudents : an array storing Student Objects
- private String className (a name to represent a given roster like “Ap CS”)
- public int period //during which period of the day does this roster meet
a default constructor should initialize the Array to store 20 strings
a single parameter constructor that takes an Array <String>
Both constructors should initialize the instance variables
Methods
- Accessors
  - private int indexOf(Student st) //@returns index of Student St or -1
  - public boolean containsStudent(Student studentName )/ /@returns true if studentName is in roster .
  - public boolean equals(ClassRoster other) //@ returns whether or not rosters are equal. Rosters are equal if identical students are in identical order in the lists
- Mutators:

boolean addStudent( Student st ) ;//adds the student to the Roster

1	boolean addStudent( Student st ) ;//adds the student to the Roster

public void addStudent(String studentName, int age) ;// adds student name and age to end of roster

. Hint: Make user of the containsStudent() method
public boolean removeStudent(int ssnId ) // removes student from roster based on id. Make sure that you maintain the integrity of the parallel ArrayLists.

public boolean removeStudent(String name) //removes student based on name. Make sure that you maintain the integrity of the parallel ArrayLists.

public boolean removeStudent( Student st) //removes student st. Make sure that you maintain the integrity of the parallel ArrayLists.
