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

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.

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
