Textbook Question
Chapter 8.4, Problem 30STQ
The private method skipSpaces appears in the definitions of both Rectangle (Listing 8.13) and Triangle (Listing 8.14). Can we move this method to the base class ShapeBasics (Listing 8.12) so that both Rectangle and Triangle can inherit it instead of each defining its own copy?

Complete the Course class by implementing the findStudentHighestGpa() method, which returns the Student object with the highest GPA in the course. Assume that no two students have the same highest GPA.
Given classes:
Class LabProgram contains the main method for testing the program.
Class Course represents a course, which contains an ArrayList of Student objects as a course roster. (Type your code in here.)
Class Student represents a classroom student, which has three fields: first name, last name, and GPA. (Hint: getGPA() returns a student's GPA.)
Note: For testing purposes, different student values will be used.
Ex. For the following students:
Henry Nguyen 3.5 Brenda Stern 2.0 Lynda Robison 3.2 Sonya King 3.9
the output is:
Top student: Sonya King (GPA: 3.9)

Define a Polygon interface that has methods area() and perimeter(). Then implement classes for Triangle, Quadrilateral, Pentagon, Hexagon, and Octagon, which implement this interface, with the obvious meanings for the area() and perimeter() methods. Also implement classes, IsoscelesTriangle, Equilateral- Triangle, Rectangle, and Square, which have the appropriate inheritance relationships. Finally, write a simple user interface, which allows users to create polygons of the various types, input their geometric dimensions, and then out- put their area and perimeter. For extra effort, allow users to input polygons by specifying their vertex coordinates and be able to test if two such polygons are similar ORIGINAL WORKS ONLY
Write a derived class of the NumberGuesser class named RandomNumberGuesser. The derived class should override the behavior of the getCurrentGuess method. It may also add member data and its own constructor. It may also override the higher(), lower() and reset() methods as you see fit.
To get everyone started off on the same page I have written a NumberGuesser class. It is defined entirely in-line in the following file: NumberGuesser.h (Links to an external site.)
In the current NumberGuesser class the getCurrentGuess() method returns the midpoint of the range of possible values. In your RandomNumberGuesser class the getCurrentGuess() method should return a randomly generated number in the range of possible values.
Note that repeated calls to getCurrentGuess() should always return the same value for both classes if neither the higher() or the lower() functions are called. Consider the following example:
NumberGuesser *ng = new NumberGuesser(1, 10);cout <<…

- Create an interface Wheel with methods setWheels (int c) and getWheels () and a class Vehicle with abstract methods getColor () and getBrand ().

Write a java class called Pokemon that has a name (e.g. “Pikachu”) and a number (e.g. 25). Implement a constructor that takes both values as parameters. Implement accessors for both values. Implement a toString() that returns a string in the format “Name(number)”, e.g. “Pikachu(25)”. Implement an equals(Object) method (two Pokémon are considered equal if they have the same number). Implement a hashCode() method that returns the number. (remember the equals and hashCode contract). 2. Create a java class, PokemonComparator, that implements Comparator and compares two Pokémon in reverse order by number. For example, if Pokemon A's number is 25 and B's number is 50, compare(A, B) would return a number > 0 because B should come first. Hint: what if you subtracted the numbers? 3.

In doing so, you are allowed to define other classes to help you (as well as use “built-in” Java classes or the book’s classes). The point of the solver class is the solve method which takes a board/puzzle configuration represented as a 2D array of booleans and returns a char array containing a minimal sequence of moves that will lead to the solved board (all the cells around the edges being filled). 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. Furthermore, the solution must be minimal in the sense that there are no solutions…arrow_forward

- Say we have a collection of animal classes, with each class represents a kind of animal. They all share a common ability of “speak”. Dog speak in the way of “Woof! Woof!”, cats speak in the way of “Meow! Meow!”, etc. In order to capture this common characteristic, we need an interface named Speakable: public interface Speakable { // put the method header here } Think about what method is needed for the Speakable interface? (what method can describe the speakable feature? ) We simply need one method speak() to print out the way that the animal “speaks”. Put the method header in the interface body. This method does not take any parameter and does not return any value. Be reminded that you only need to put the method header with a semicolon (abstract method) into the interface. BE NOTED: Adding an interface is different from adding a class. You need to click File tab -> New -> Interface, to add an interface file to the project. Now download Cat.java.

Implement a public class Maze Escape that provides a single public class method named escape. escape accepts a single parameter, a Maze object with methods explained below. Your goal is to manipulate the maze until you reach the exit, and then return it when you are finished. If the passed maze is null, throw an IllegalArgumentException. To navigate the maze, using the following Maze methods: • isFinished (): returns true when you have reached the exit of the maze • turnRight () rotates your character 90 degrees to the right • turnLeft() rotates your character 90 degrees to the left • canMove () returns true if you can move one cell forward, false otherwise. Your path may be blocked by a wall! • move () moves your character one cell forward and increases the step counter The passed Maze object represents a simply-connected or perfect maze: one that contains no loops.

An appointment has a description (for example, "see the dentist") and a date. Write a method occursOn(int year, int month, int day) that checks whether the appointment occurs on that date. For example, for a monthly appointment, you must check whether the day of the month matches. Then fill an array of Appointment objects with a mixture of appointments. Have the user enter a date and print out all appointments that occur on that date. Give the user the option to add new appointments. The user must specify the type of the appointment, the description, and the date.arrow_forward
