Chapter 7, Problem 2PP

Program Plan Intro

Generate a sequence of “20” random die values

Program plan:

• In a file “Sequence.java”, create a class “Sequence”,
  • Declare the necessary variables.
  • Define the constructor,
    • Assign the initial values.
  • Define a method “add()”,
    • Check the condition,
      • Assign the value to array.
      • Increment the size.
  • Define a method “markLongestRun()”,
    • Initialize the necessary variables.
    • Set the Boolean variable to false.
    • Create loop to look for runs of numbers,
      • Check the possible run,
        • Check the condition,
        • • Set the Boolean variable to false.
          • Check another condition,
            • Assign the necessary values.
      • Check not possible run,
        • Check the condition,
        • • Assign the start value and set the Boolean variable to true.
      • Check for possible run,
        • Check the condition,
        • • Assign the start value of longest run, and the size.
      • Assign the values.
      • Initialize the string variable.
      • Create loop,
        • Check the condition,
        • • Add the empty space with the string.
      • Check another condition,
        • Concatenate the string with open parentheses.
      • Compute the string.
      • Check another condition,
        • Concatenate the string with close parentheses.
        • • • • Return the string.
• In a file “DieSequenceTester.java”, create a class “DieSequenceTester”,
  • Define the method “main()”,
    • Initialize the variable.
    • Get the random number.
    • Create the object for “Sequence” class.
    • Create loop to insert the value.
    • Call the method “markLongestRun()”.
    • Print the expected values.
    • Assign the random properties.
    • Assign the Sequence properties.
    • Create loop to insert the value.
    • Call the method “markLongestRun()”.
    • Print the expected values.
    • Assign other random properties.
    • Assign other Sequence properties.
    • Create loop to insert the value.
    • Call the method “markLongestRun()”.
    • Print the expected values.
    • Assign the random properties.
    • Assign the Sequence properties.
    • Create loop to insert the value.
    • Call the method “markLongestRun()”.
    • Print the expected values.
