Chapter 9, Problem 10E
Suppose that you are going to create an object used to count the number of people in a room. We know that the number of people in the room can never be negative. Create a RoomCounter class having three public methods:
- addPerson—adds one person to the room
- removePerson—removes one person from the room
- getCount—returns the number of people in the room
If removePerson would make the number of people less than zero, throw a NegativeCounterException.

Write a class for the following object.
Fraction - an object that represents parts of a whole number. A fraction is created by supplying a numerator and a denominator.
Instance related actions
1. add - mutates this fraction by adding the other fraction value
2. subtract - mutates this fraction by subtracting the other fraction value
3. multiply - mutates this fraction by multiplying with the other fraction value
4. divide - mutates this fraction by dividing by the other fraction value
5. tostring - represents the fraction in a form of 'numerator/denominator"
6. compareTo - returns the following values
1. O when this fraction is equal with the other fraction
2. 1 when this fraction is greater than the other fraction
3. -1 when this fraction is less than the other fraction
Example
fraction1 = 1/2
fraction2 = 3/4
When fraction1.add(fraction2] is called, it will make the value of fraction 1 as 5/4.
When fraction1.subtract(fraction2) is called, it will make the value of fraction 1 as -1/4.…
Problem:
Bugs are simple creatures that only know how to walk towards other bugs. Bugs maintain
information about their (x, y) position; by which it can tell if they are standing next to other bugs.
Watch the following video: bug movement.
Create a java project that simulate bugs movement. You need to write a class “Bug" that models a
bug moving along a straight line and it can turn to change its direction counterclockwise (i.e. 90
degree to the left; north → west → south → east → north). In each move, its position changes by
one unit in the current direction. Details of the "Bug" class is described below.
Your simulator should read information of an unknown number of “Bug" objects from an input
file called “Bugs.txt". Each line represents a bug and the initial position and facing direction of this
particular bug. Keeping the first bug position as a reference the simulator should move the second
bug next to the first bug forming a cluster and its final position and direction should be…
Create a rectangle class that can compute the area and the sum of its sides. Create a specialized method that will allow the class to compare other rectangle objects. The comparison should identify the larger rectangle according to the object’s area. You should be able to implement the class where the user provides rectangle dimensions. The program should be able to display which of the rectangle inputs is larger using the Rectangle class method that you defined.
Sample output:
Enter Length R1: 1
Enter Width R1: 1
Enter Length R2: 2
Enter Width R2: 2
Results:
R1 Area: 1
R1 Sum: 2
R2 Area: 4
R2 Sum: 4
R2 is the bigger Rectangle!
Note: All characters in boldface are user inputs.

In this class you should write methods to perform the following tasks: Read the number of each of the letter grades A, B, C D and F Set the number of letter grades A, B, C, D and F Return the total number of grades Return the percentage of each letter grade as a whole number between 0 and 100 inclusive Draw a bar graph of the grade distributionThe graph should have five bars, one per grade. Each bar can be a horizontal row of asterisks, such that the number of asterisks in a row is proportionate to the percentage of grades in each category. For example, let on asterisk represent 2%, so 50 asterisks correspond to 100%. Mark the horizontal axis at 10% increments from 0 to 100% and label each line with a letter grade.For example, if the grades are entered as 1A, 4B's, 6C's, 2D's and 1 F, then the output would look like: 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 IIIIIIIIIII **************************************************…arrow_forwardExercise 1 - Number Guessing Game Make a new Java Project called Lab2.

Or 3) modify the hours flown and amount of fuel in the tank to reflect the hours flown and print an appropriate message.

Problem Set: Let's place a marker on the circle numbered 1 in the grid below. Then we will toss a coin. If the coin toss resulted in a 'heads', we would move the marker along the path labeled 'H' to the circle numbered 5. If the coin toss resulted in a 'tails', we would move the marker along the path labeled T' to the circle numbered 4. Now we would toss the coin again and move the marker accordingly. This is repeated for any number of coin tosses. The purpose of this problem is to simulate this automata and to report 2 3 the number of the circle on which the marker ends after a series of coin tosses. The marker always begins on the circle numbered 1. 7 Iпрut: Your program should accept a string consisting only of the characters 'h' or t, where each character represents the outcome of a coin toss ('h' - heads, 't - tails). The string is terminated by a #' character. Each…arrow_forward
