Question
Write a method called priceIsRight that mimics the guessing rules from the game show The Price Is Right. The method accepts as parameters an array of integers representing the contestants' bids and an integer representing a correct price. The method returns the element in the bids array that is closest in value to the correct price without being larger than that price. For example, if an array called bids stores the values [200, 300, 250, 1, 950, 40], the call of priceIsRight(bids, 280) should return 250, since 250 is the bid closest to 280 without going over 280. If all bids are larger than the correct price, your method should return –1.

Allow room for five customer balances, each stored as a double.In the loop that prints each customer name, add some code to prompt the user to enter a balance for that customer.

The names of the cards are stored in a text string will be converted into an array. The array will be randomly sorted to "shuffle" the deck. Each time the user clicks a Deal button, the last five cards of the array will be removed, reducing the size of the deck size. When the size of the deck drops to zero, a new randomly sorted deck will be generated. A preview of the completed project with a randomly generated hand is shown in Figure 7-50.arrow_forward
