Students have asked these similar questions
Examine the getBalance method's header and body, and then evaluate how they stack up against those of the getPrice method. I'm confused as to the differences between the two.
I need guidance on this, more so what direction do I take to append to a string and make sure it is returning the string value?
How does this method work? Can you explain it step by step please?

- Use the debugger to examine the clock-display project. Set breakpoints in the ClockDisplay constructor and each of the methods, and then singlestep through them.

Did this give you new insights? If so, what were they?arrow_forwardJust what does it imply when we talk about a "Regular Expression"? It begs the question: why did we do it? If you were to compare a regular expression to a descriptive method, what would you find to be the most significant differences? Do you think you could be more specific?arrow_forwardTake a look at the header of the method below, and then implement a sample call to it in your code.empty public ShowValue ()arrow_forward

What was the point? How does a regular expression differ from a descriptive method? Maybe you could be more precise if you could.arrow_forwardWhat is a HashMap? What is its purpose and how do you use it? Answer these questions in writing, and use the Java library documentation of Map and HashMap for your responses. Note that you will find it hard to understand everything, as the documentation for these classes is not very good. We will discuss the details later in this chapter, but see what you can find out on your own before reading on.arrow_forward
