Chapter 6, Problem 6.1PE

(Math: pentagonal numbers) A pentagonal number is defined as n(3n − 1)/2 for n = 1, 2, ... , and so on. Therefore, the first few numbers are 1, 5, 12, 22, .... Write a method with the following header that returns a pentagonal number:

public static int getPentagonalNumber(int n)

For example, getPentagonal Number (1) returns 1 and getPentagonalNumber(2) returns 5. Write a test program that uses this method to display the first 100 pentagonal numbers with 10 numbers on each line. Use the %7d format to display each number.

Program Plan Intro

Program Plan:

  • Declare the class “Penta”
  • Definition for main class
    • Use for loop to iterate the variable “j” equals to “100”.
    • Check whether “j” mod “10” equals to 0.
      • Call the method “getPentagonalNumber()”.
    • Otherwise, call the method “getPentagonalNumber()” concatenate with space.
  • Method definition for “getPentagonalNumber()”
    • Return “n * (3 * n - 1) / 2”.
Program Description Answer

Program to display first 100 pentagonal numbers with 10 numbers on each line using the method “getPentagonalNumber ()”

Explanation of Solution

Program:

//Definition for class "Penta"

public class Penta

{

//Definition for main class

public static void main(String[] args)

{

//For loop to iterate the variable

for (int j = 1; j <= 100; j++)

//Check whether the variable "j" mod 10 equals to "0"

if (j % 10 == 0)

//Call the method "getPentagonalNumber"

System.out.println(getPentagonalNumber(j));

else

//Call the method "getPentagonalNumber"

System.out.print(getPentagonalNumber(j) + " ");

}

//Method definition for "getPentagonalNumber"

public static int getPentagonalNumber(int n)

{

//Return the result

return n * (3 * n - 1) / 2;

}

}

-The Lucas numbers are a sequence of integers, named after Édouard Lucas, which are closely related to the Fibonacci sequence. In fact, they are defined in very much the same way: Ln = if n = 0; if n = 1; ifn> 1 2 1 Ln-1+ Ln-2 -Using the recursive description above, write a private static int method in Week4Main called lucask which takes one parameter, n, and computes the nth Lucas number L.
Write and test the following recursive methods:1. A method that, for a positive integer n, prints odd numbers between 1 and n.2. A method that, for a positive integer n, prints odd numbers between n and 1.3. A method to add the first n terms of the series: 1 +12−13+14−15…1?4. A recursive version of the following method:void cubes(int n) {for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)System.out.print(i * i * i, " ");}
