Write a method that is inspired by a photo app that does the following.
Ask the user to enter a size of array between 2 to 10.
Based on the size entered, write a loop which asks the user to fill values into an integer array. Print
the array contents using Arrays.toString().
For this integer array, write a logic that returns true if there exists a place to split the array such that
the sum of the numbers on one side is equal to the sum of the numbers on the other. Otherwise
return false.
Examples:
If the array is {1, 1, 1, 2, 1} then return true. If the array is {2, 1, 1, 2, 1} then return false If the array is {10, 10} then return true.

Enter the number of points: 7
Enter the coordinates of the points:
-12 0 -8.5 10 0 11.4 5.5 7.8 6 -5.5 0 -7 -3.5 -5.5

- (Demonstrate cancellation errors) A cancellation error occurs when you are manipulating a very large number with a very small number. The large number may cancel out the smaller number. For example, the result of 100000000.0 + 0.000000001 is equal to 100000000.0. To avoid cancellation errors and obtain more accurate results, carefully select the order of computation. For example, in computing the following series, you will obtain more accurate results by comput- ing from right to left rather than from left to right: 1 1 1 1+ + 3 + ... 2 п Write a program that compares the results of the summation of the preceding series, computing from left to right and from right to left with n = 50000.arrow_forward(Java in Eclipse) Write code that finds the sum of two matrices. Use the following method header public static int[][] addMatrix(int[][] a, int[][] b) The rules for adding two matrices are:1. both matrices should have the exact same dimensions (i.e. height and width) – you need to check for this rule in your program.2. both matrices should have elements that have compatible types – you don’t have to add extra code to check this rule in your method as it will only accept int arrays included is a test class and a sample runarrow_forward(Geometry: area of a regular polygon) A regular polygon is an n-sided polygon in which all sides are of the same length and all angles have the same degree (i.e., the polygon is both equilateral and equiangular). The formula for computing the area of a regular polygon is n x s? Area 4 X tan Here, s is the length of a side. Write a program that prompts the user to enter the number of sides and their length of a regular polygon and displays its area. Here is a sample run:arrow_forward
- (Random Walk Robot) A robot is initially located at position (0, 0) in a grid [−5, 5] × [−5, 5]. The robot can move randomly in any of the directions: up, down, left, right. The robot can only move one step at a time. For each move, print the direction of the move in and the current position of the robot. Use formatted output to print the direction (Down, Up, Left or Right) in the left. The direction takes 10 characters in total and fill in the field with empty spaces. The statement to print results in such format is given below: cout << setw(10) << left << ‘Down’ << ... ; cout << setw(10) << left << ‘Up’ << ...; If the robot moves back to the original place (0,0), print “Back to the origin!” to the console and stop the program. If it reaches the boundary of the grid, print “Hit the boundary!” to the console and stop the program. A successful run of your code may look like: Due to randomness, your results may have a different trajectory…arrow_forward(Random Walk Robot) A robot is initially located at position (0, 0) in a grid [−5, 5] × [−5, 5].

Assume thatthe current population is 312,032,486, and one year has 365 days. Hint: In Java, iftwo integers perform division, the result is an integer. The fractional part is truncated.For example, 5 / 4 is 1 (not 1.25) and 10 / 4 is 2 (not 2.5). To get an accurate resultwith the fractional part, one of the values involved in the division must be a numberwith a decimal point. For example, 5.0 / 4 is 1.25 and 10 / 4.0 is 2.5.arrow_forward
- (Recursion and Backtracking) Write the pseudo code for a recursive method called addB2D that takes two binary numbers as strings, adds the numbers and returns the result as a decimal integer. For example, addB2D(‘‘101’’, ‘‘11’’) should return 8 (because the strings are binary representation of 5 and 3, respectively). Your solution should not just simply convert the binary numbers to decimal numbers and add the re- sults. An acceptable solution tries to find the sum by just directly processing the binary representations without at first converting them to decimal values.arrow_forwardCode in python: A certain company has encoded the accounts of its customers and requires that you provide an algorithm that, given an account code, informs if it is valid according to the following description: The account codes are made up of 4 digits counted from right to left, plus the verification digit. The verifying digit is obtained by adding the digits of the account number of the even positions and multiplying the digits of the odd positions, from the new result the residue of the division is extracted for 10, which represents the verifying digit. Develop the code in python as a check digit class that returns 1 if it is correct or 0 if not Heading: Extract digits, verifier calculation, Account verification, Integral algorithmarrow_forwardWrite a method that computes the binary fraction representation of a positive integer. To find the binary representation, divide the integer by 2 successively and write the remainders left to right until the quotient becomes 0. (C# CONSOLE PROGRAMMİNG)arrow_forward

Otherwise, gcd(m, n) is gcd(n, m % n). Write a recursive function to find the GCD. Write a test program that prompts the user to enter two integers and displays their GCD.arrow_forward(Algebra: solve 2 x 2 linear equations) You can use Cramer's rule to solve the following 2 x 2 system of linear equation: ax + by = e ed – bf af- ec ad - bc cx + dy = f ad – bc y = Write a program that prompts the user to enter a and f and display the result.
