Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 5.2, Problem 5.7CP
Explanation of Solution
Methods:
A collection of statements which are formed together to perform an operation is called as methods.
- The main advantage of using method is reusability of code and reduces the size of the program, because a method can be called for multiple numbers of times.
Method header:
The method header is the part of the method definition which holds the modifier, return type of the method, method name and the parameter list.
public static double findArea(double a, double b)
In the above example, the method “findArea()” holds the return type double and the parameters “a” and “b” and should not have a semicolon at the end.
myMethod(7);
The parameter passed to the “myMethod()” is “7” which is of type “int”...

Method Overloading is a feature that allows a class to have two or more methods having
same name, if their argument lists are different. Argument lists could differ in:
1. Number of parameters.
2. Data type of parameters.
3. Sequence of Data type of parameters.
Write different version of method sum() that display the sum of the values received as
parameter according to the following main method content:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
sum ( 10, 10 );
sum ( 10, 10, 10 );
sum ( 10.0, 10.0 );
sum ( 10, 10.0 );
sum ( 10.0, 10);
}
You have to define five functions with the specified types. Then, demonstrate the Argument
Promotion concept by reducing the number of method to two.
C++ Programing
NOTE: The important method has been

given to you.
userld:int //generates unique id from 10001
upwards
INSTRUCTION 1
username:string
firstname:string
lastname:string
dob:string
The program should generate unique
userld whenever new object is created.
Notice that idGenerator is static variable,
so assign the current value of idGenerator
to userld, so that each user will have
unique user id (Starting from 10001).
age: int
idGenerator: static int;
totalUsers : static int
МЕТHODS
User()
User(string, string, string, int)
User(const User&)
"User()
Then increment idGenerator by 1.
INSTRUCTION 2
The totalusers is also a static variable.
This should keep track of the total users in
the class.
With the Above UML for CLASS USER, answer the following questions
Complete or Create the default constructor method.
a. The default constructor should accept just the firstname, lastname, dob (date of
birth) and age from the keyboard.

b. Write a setter method that sets the…
3. Set the username for the newly created object to "user+userld"(user10001).

Details: Create a class called Power that computes the value of base exponent. The class should have one recursive method: • public static int power(int base, int exponent) – Which computes the value of base exponent using recursion, returning the result. The recursion step should use the following relationship base exponent = base x base exponent - 1 and the termination condition should occur when exponent is equal to 1, because base 1 = base NOTE: For the power method, assume the exponent parameter value is always greater than 0. Create a second class called PowerTest that contains the main method, and tests the Power.power method. The test class does not need to ask for input from the user of the class, nor does it need to do any additional error checking. Upload both source files to Blackboard.

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?
