Chapter 5.1, Problem 4STQ
Suppose every species in the world has a peculiar birthing pattern. After a female is born, a male is born, then a female, and so on. Give the definition of a method, called getFemalePopulation, that you could add to the definition of the class SpeciesFirstTry in Listing 5.3 to return the number of females in the population. Also, give the definition of a method called getMalePopulation that similarly returns the number of males in the population. If the population is an odd number, you have one species member left over after pairing males and females. Assume that species member is a female. For example, if the population is 7, there are 3 males and 4 females. But if the population is 8, there are 4 males and 4 females. (Hint: The definitions are very short.)

Add a toString() method to Fraction class that returns the fraction as aString in the form "x / y", where x and y are numerator and denominatorrespectively. As the method does not do any display itself, the output can be done by a client program that calls the method in an output statement. Use client program to test this functionality; i.e. provide an output statement to display a fraction as its String representation.
class Fraction2{private int n, d;public Fraction(){this.n = this.d = 0; //Initialize the values}public Fraction(int n, int d){this.n = n; //Initialize the variablesthis.d = d;}//Define the getter function getNum() that returns the numeratorpublic int getNum(){//Returns numeratorreturn n;}
//Define the getter function getDen() that returns the denominatorpublic int getDen(){//Returns denominatorreturn d;}//Define the boolean function isZero() that returns 0 if numerator is 0 and denominator is not equals to zeropublic boolean isZero(){return(getNum() == 0 &&…
For this exercise, we are going to do a variation on our Student class by looking at a StudentTest class. The StudentTest class stores math and ELA test scores for a student.
We will then extend this class in the HSStudent class, which will check the math and ELA scores to determine if the student has passed. Combined with service hours, the HSStudent class will also check to see if the student has qualified for graduation.
Details for each class are outlined in the starter code for each class.
In the StudentTester class, you will prompt the user for test scores and service hours, then use these to create a HSStudent object. After creating the object, print out the results.
Please enter the student name: Ryan
Please enter the Math Score: 500
Please enter the ELA Score: 600
Please enter the Service Hours: 100
Pass Math? false
Pass ELA? true
Completed Service Hours? true
Ryan has not yet qualified for graduation.

You have been hired by a local grocery store in order to update and expand the CashRegister Class that was discussedin class. Yourtaskis to update the
class by adding functionality to it such that it will compute the total sales by all customer in a whole day, reset all variables after the store closes every
day, and showthe customer count per day, every day In order to accomplish your taskyou needto do two smaller tasks:
1. Update the existing methods presented during lecture time, as needed, to accomplish the task described, above.
2 In order to help you further, you need to wite 4 new methods, as follows:
• addCustomerCount () – increments the customer count at the end of every customer sale end
• getCustomerCount () - gets/retums the customer count; to be invoked at the end of every day
getSalesTotal () - gets/retums the total customer sales for all customers; to be invoked at the end of every day
• resetSales () - clear daily instance variables that need to be cleared at the end…

- Extend the functionality of the Carinventory class by introducing a new method called 'add_car. This method should facilitate the addition of custom cars to the inventory. The method should take two parameters: a car model and its price. Implement this method to ensure that the inventory is updated accordingly. Instantiate a new object of the car inventory, naming it 'Auto Emporium,' utilizing the extended class with the newly added 'add_car' method. Your next step is to add three distinct custom cars to 'AutoEmporium'-for example, "Sleek Sedan,' 'Sporty Convertible,' and 'Luxury SUV Assign varying prices to each of these cars. To conclude, utilize the 'display_inventory method to showcase the updated information about 'AutoEmporium." Verify that the output includes details about the newly added custom cars, ensuring that the prices are accurately reflected.

- 2. Write a class Comparisons whose main method tests your largest method above. • First prompt the user for and read in three strings, use your largest method to find the largest of the three strings, and print it out. (It’s easiest to put the call to largest directly in the call to println.) Note that since largest is a static method, you will call it through its class name, e.g., Compare3.largest(val1, val2, val3). • Add code to also prompt the user for three integers and try to use your largest method to find the largest of the three integers. Does this work? If it does, it’s thanks to autoboxing which is Java’s automatic conversion of ints to Integers.arrow_forwardAdd a private method simplify() to your Fraction class that converts a fraction to its simplest form. For example, the fraction 20 / 60 should be stored in the class instance variables as 1 / 3 (i.e. numerator = 1, denominator = 3). N.B.you will need a method to determine the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD.both of these methods (simplify and gcd) must be private. Asthese methods are private, client programs cannot access them. They can only be accessed within the Fraction class. Given their purpose, it would mean that any Fraction class method that modifies theinstance variables (e.g.: input, add, constructor, set) should call the simplify() method to reduce the instance variables to their minimum values. import java.util.ArrayList;import java.util.Scanner; class Fraction{private int n, d;public Fraction(){this.n = this.d = 0;}public Fraction(int n, int d){this.n = n;this.d = d;} public int getNum(){return n;}public int getDen(){return d;}public boolean isZero(){return(getNum() == 0…arrow_forwardConsider the Person class in Problem 1.

The breed method simulates a period in which the roaches breed, which doubles their population. The spray(double percent) method simulates spraying with insecticide, which reduces the population by the given percentage. The getRoaches method returns the current number of roaches. A program called RoachSimulation simulates a population that starts out with 10 roaches. Breed, spray to reduce the population by 10 percent, and print the roach count.

The board configuration is passed in as a 5-by-5 boolean array of Booleans with exactly 16 true cells (filled) and 9 false cells (empty). The solve method then returns an array of characters representing a minimal sequence of moves that solves the puzzle. In other words, if the characters from the returned array are used in order as input to the move method on the Board object representing the initial configuration, the resulting board configuration represents the solved board.
