Calculating Pi In While Or Do While Loop
Oct 23, 2014
USING A WHILE OR A DO-WHILE LOOP write a program to compute PI using the following equation:
PI = 3 + 4/(2*3*4) - 4/(4*5*6) + 4/(6*7*8) - 4/(8*9*10) + ...
Allow the user to specify the number of terms (5 terms are shown) to use in the computation. Each time around the loop only one extra term should be added to the estimate for PI.
Alter your solution from part one so that the user is allowed to specify the precision required between 1 and 8 digits (i.e. the number of digits which are correct; e.g. to 5 digits PI is 3.14159), rather than the number of terms. The condition on the loop should be altered so that it continues until the required precision is obtained. Note that you need only submit this second version of the program (assuming you have it working).

i want it to calculate my earnings say for 4 months and then output the result. it runs the loop asking for the 4 months worth of earnings but then it shows just the amount entered for the month and not total.
package Earnings;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.Math;
public class Earnings {
public static void main(String[] args) {
[code]....
i tried changing from double month to String month but it doesn't work.

I'm just not noticing why it won't display the answer. I'm trying to solve this book problem......
"Write a for loop that calculates the total of the follower series of numbers:
1/30 + 2/29 + 3/28......+30/1"
Here is what I have..
public static void main(String[] args) {
double total = 0;
for (double a = 1, b = 30; b < 1; a++, b--) {
total += (a / b);
}
System.out.println(total);
}
}
When launched, the output is 0.0. I tried changing the variables a and b to doubles but didn't change anything...

I'm trying to calculate sin(x) without using Math.sin(x). The formula for sin(x) is: x - x^3/3! + x^5/5! ... I can't seem to get the coding for the alternating +/- right. Here's my program:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.Math;
class Sin

public static void main(String[] args)

Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
int n, c, fact = 1, count = 1;
double x, sum = 0, sum_sin = 0, result;

I'm working on some exercises and I'm having some problems with a method. I want to create a method to calculate the Factorial of an int number. I already wrote code that asks the user to input an int number and it calculates the Factorial, and it works fine
i.e.: if I input 5 it outputs
5! = 120
as it should. Here's the code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Factorial1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int number;
int total = 1;
[Code] ....
Now I want to make a method to re-use this code in other programs and I wrote this program:
public class TestClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.print(factorial(5));
}
public static int factorial(int x) {
int total = 0;
[Code] ....
But when I run this program it outputs 0 instead of 120. What is wrong with this code as it compiles just fine but doesn't work as intended.

I am trying to calculate factorials using BlueJ. All of my factorials calculate correctly, I am just having an issue with something the instructor asked of us. She asked us to force the loop to stop when the user inputs "Calculate the factorial of 0", and not give any print.
So far I have my for loop with the correct conditions, I am just really confused as to how to make an if statement to stop the code when the input is 0.

2) lastTime = current;
3) if(delta > 1000)

This last part is where I've gotten stuck. I have created a population property where I store the different hashCodes and update it in the method adding the new hashCode from the new object. But I don't know how to do for to know if the percentage of different objects is less than 50%.

I'm currently in the process of creating a shopping cart simulation. The main GUI consists of two lists, one is a list of the inventory. (products stored within a .dat file which is automatically loaded upon launch) The other is blank and is to model my shopping basket. The idea is to be able to scan items from my inventory into the checkout basket. As this is happening i want a text field i created to dynamically update with the cost of all the items in the basket.
Below is the method for my scan button, which is supposed to perform the above :
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
//Get the newly added list values.
JList list = productList.getSelectedValuesList();
double totalAddedValue = 0.0;
double oldCartValue = 0.0;

I am trying to do the following java assignment and every thing seems to work fine except when I put a number<4 or >10 it prints both "Invalid grade!"
"You didn't enter any data!" what I wanted is to print only "Invalid grade!" I tried to fix it but I couldn't.
Create a program that asks for results of exams and calculates the mean average of the grades. Grades are floating point numbers between 4 and 10. Program asks for grades until a negative number is typed. If user gives a grade other than a number between 4 and 10, the text "Invalid grade!" will be printed on screen and program asks for another grade. Finally the program prints the number of inputted grades and their mean average on screen as shown in the example print. If no grades were inputted, the notice "You did not input any grades." is the only thing printed on screen.
A double type variable is to be used to store the value of the average.
Program is written to a class called Average.
Example output
Program calculates the average of inputted grades.
Finish with a negative integer.
Input a grade (4-10): 5
Input a grade (4-10): 6,5
Input a grade (4-10): 7,5
Input a grade (4-10): 7
Input a grade (4-10): 0
Invalid grade!
Input a grade (4-10): -4
4 grades inputted.
Average of the grades: 6.5
Java Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class apples {
public static void main(String[] args)
int inputNumber=0;
int sum;
int count;
double average;

What I am trying to do on jtable is when a user enters values of numbers in the table, by click of button, those numbers are calculated and display in another column. For example, 4 = 2 + 2 in a table.This means getting inputs from user and summing them up. My getRowCount() and getValueAt() methods don't seem to work for me recently.

How to calculate an outcome/number through a combination of 4 drop down menus (drop down menu's 1 and 2 combine to form a specific value and menu's 3 and 4 combine to form a specific value), example ;
1st drop down menu (1*) = a,b,c,d,e
2nd drop down menu (2*) = 5,4,3,2,1
3rd drop down menu (3*)= a,b,c,d,e
4th drop down menu (4*)= 5,4,3,2,1
Example of drop down menu layout - [URL] ....
a->e = low to high (value) predominant value so b5>a1 ; d5>c1
5->1 = low to high (value)
Then the calculation involves the 1st and 2nd menu to form 1 value, so c3, e4 etc and the 3rd and 4th menu unite to form 1 value that is different from the first; c2, e3
So (1*2*) b3 ; (3*4*) b1 = x value
Also the value from 1*2* menu must be lower than value from menu 3*4*; so you cannot input 1*2* c4 ; 3*4* c5 /or b1 (so once the first menu is selected, the 3rd and 4th menu's wont show anything lower)...

Write a class that has three overloaded static methods for calculating the areas of the
following geometric shapes:
• circles -- area = π*radius^2 (format the answer to have two decimal places)
• rectangles -- area = width * length
• trapezoid -- area = (base1 + base2) * height/2
Because the three methods are to be overloaded, they should each have the same name , but different parameters (for example, the method to be used with circles should only take one parameter , the radius of the circle).
Demonstrate the methods in a program that prints out the following areas, each on a separate line:
• the area of a circle with radius 3
• the area of a rectangle with length 2 and width 4
• the area of a trapezoid with base lengths 3 and 5 and height 5
SAMPLE RUN #1

So i'm using Netbeans and have created this template for the program i want to create. Basically what I want to do is enter a time and date in 24hr format including seconds and the date of start and end time and have the program calculate the time difference between Tool launch and tool Receive that takes into factor the Launch and Receive Dates for a total of hh:mm:ss duration. I don't know how to combine both those factors output one number in a total number of hours Duration. I'm also having problems linking the ODO (odometer) which the formula would basically be time/ODO (or distance in feet) = x.x ft/sec format.

I've been given a school assignment that reads, "Rewrite the main class Geometry so it takes in the dimensions for the triangle and ellipse as user inputs and create a Triangle and an Ellipse class. Use the appropriate variable types, constants, variable names and computational formulas.
Triangle class will have a computePerimeter and a computeArea methods Ellipse class will have a computeArea method Create Report class
• Create a method createReport that takes the values returned from Triangle and Ellipse and combines them in the following message and displays it. Format the values so that they have 2 decimals.
“The triangle has a perimeter of [perimeter] with an area of [area] while the ellipse has an area of [area]”
• Create a method switchReport that takes the original string from createReport and changes the message to display using the available methods in the String class
“The ellipse has an area of [area] while the triangle has an area of [area] with a perimeter of [perimeter]”"
I've run into a problem when creating the createReport method. Everytime i run it i get incorrect values for the perimeter and area (namely i get zero every time).
my code is as follows:
public class Triangle
{
public double base;
public double height;
public double hypotenuse;
private double tArea;
private double perimeter;
public Triangle()
{
base = 0;
height = 0;
hypotenuse = 0;
[code]....
For the triangle class and
public class Report {
Triangle tri2 = new Triangle();
Ellipse eli2 = new Ellipse();
public Report() {
}
public void createReport() {
System.out.println("The triangle has a perimeter of "+tri2.computePerimeter() +" with an area of " +tri2.computeTArea() +" while the ellipse has an area of " +eli2.computeEArea() );
}
for the report class.the Geometry class allows you to input values and if i skip the report and simply print the perimeter and area they are correct. However with the report class it simply gives me zeros.

So I currently have working code that calculates the denominations that I need when change is displayed. The problem is that it seems to be missing one cents every time. So if my change prints out $12.35, it will end up being 1 - ten, 2 - ones, 1 - quarter, 1 - nickle, and 4 - pennies rather than 2 nickles. or 1 dime This happens for any dollar amount unless it is even cash and no change, or the change calculates to where there doesn't need to be a penny. Just an FYI, this code is being used in a GUI panel program if it seems strange in anyway.
int change1 = (int) ((total - realTotal)*100);
num100 = change1 / 10000;
change1 = change1 % 10000;
String dollar1;
dollar1 = String.valueOf(num100);

Long story short: The program takes user values (temperature) and converts them to the opposite (C >> F / F >> C)
I originally started this program with three separate arrays but then decided that it would be a good opportunity to use a two-dimensional array and one other.
The two-dimensional array has 2 rows, 10 columns. The second is a normal String array ...
Java Code:
String[][] myTemperatures = new String[2][9];
String inputAssembly[] = new String[9]; mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
I prompt the user for to enter temperature values, using a GUI and jbutton to distinguish F/C. Each time the user clicks 'continue', the values are stored into the two-dimensional array. One row holds the temperature, the other holds the C or F designation.
Java Code:
// CONTINUE BUTTON CLICK ACTIONS
class ContinueButtonListener implements ActionListener{
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
input = view.getTempValue();
[Code] ....
This is where I am experiencing the trouble and I cannot seem to get the Debug to work properly here. When the two-dimensional array is full OR the user clicks 'calculate' instead of 'continue', the Calculate event is performed via an ActionListener.
Java Code:
// CALCULATE BUTTON CLICK ACTIONS
class CalculateButtonListener implements ActionListener{
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String hold;
Double temp;
And I get a ton of errrors ...
Java Code:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "[Ljava.lang.String;@7441b1fd"
at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Integer.parseInt(Unknown Source)
[Code] ....
I imagine the issue lies within how I am handling the two-dimensional array in the CALCULATE event and/or converting the String[][] to String then parsing to an Integer.
Would this be better done is separate arrays (not using one two-dimensional, but storing 34C, 45F ... in one. I think this would be difficult for me to parse for conversions).
