Scientific Method - Compute Base Times 10 To Exponent

Feb 13, 2015

This is what I need to do: Write a method called scientific that accepts two real numbers as parameters for a base and an exponent and computes the base times 10 to the exponent, as seen in scientific notation. For example, the call of scientific(6.23, 5.0) would return 623000.0 and the call of scientific(1.9, -2.0) would return 0.019.

This is the method I have written:

public double scientific(double num1, double num2); {
double base = num1;
double exp = num2;
double scientific = base * Math.pow(10, exp);
System.out.println(scientific);
return scientific;
}

These are the following error messages I received when trying to compile the code:

Line 4
missing method body, or declare abstract
missing method body, or declare abstract
public double scientific(double num1, double num2);

[Code] .....

How to fix each error?

For Loop To Convert Any Number Entered To Base 10 With Any Base Provided

Oct 9, 2014

So i'm writing a for loop to convert any number entered to base 10 with any base provided as well. My code does not work because I need a way to reverse the code order, so the new number is printed correctly with the given base. My code so far:

public static void main (String[] args) {
Scanner kb = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a number :: ");
int numOriginal = kb.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter a base :: ");
int base = kb.nextInt();

[Code] .....

newBase has a problem with how it calculates the new number, looking for correct newBase code for conversion?

Program To Convert A Base 10 Integer To Any Base 2 - 16

May 5, 2013

I am writing a program to convert a base 10 integer to any base 2-16. Here are the terms:"The method is to convert the decimal value the user selected into whatever base the user selected and print the converted value one place value at a time by using an index into an array of characters 0-9 amd A-F that is initialized to contain those characters.In the method you will find the largest place value (i.e. power of the base) that will divide into the decimal number.

Then you can set up a loop that will operate from that power down to and including the 0th power to determine how many times each place value goes into the decimal number. Using the loop counter, index into the character array to print the character that corresponds to the quotient number and then subtract the product of the place value and the quotient from the decimal number. With the power (loop index) decreased, repeat until you finish the 0th place value. Here's what I have so far:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ConvertIt
{//start program
public static void main(String[] args)
{//start main
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a positive integer from 0 to 10000.");
int number = input.nextInt();

Scientific Notation In Java

Apr 14, 2014

I've to create a program to get user input in scientific notation. Now i'm confused that how can i check that how user have used the scientific notation. For example there are many ways to write a number in scientific notation. Also a user can either write a number as:

6.7E2 OR 6.7*10^2

How to handle this input and further convert it to double?

Double Data Type Outputting To Exponent?

Nov 9, 2014

I was struggling to use BufferedReader to extract some data and then perform some calculations and then have the results as outputs.

I haven't quite solved that issue but in order to progress, I hard coded some values into my application and proceeded with the actual calculation loops etc.

Currently, the value out put from one of my calculations is given as:

1.1704926E7

How can I make the console show it in a natural way. I've performed the calculation manually and it should be 11704926.5 I don't want to lose that .5!

Java - Compute PI Using Equation

Oct 24, 2014

Part 1: 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).

My output for part 1 is :

Enter number of wanted terms for value of PI
100
PI = 3.1666666666666665 Number of Term = 2
PI = 3.1333333333333333 Number of Term = 3
PI = 3.145238095238095 Number of Term = 4
PI = 3.1396825396825396 Number of Term = 5
PI = 3.1427128427128426 Number of Term = 6
PI = 3.1408813408813407 Number of Term = 7
PI = 3.142071817071817 Number of Term = 8
PI = 3.1412548236077646 Number of Term = 9
PI = 3.141839618929402 Number of Term = 10 ................ and so on

I know you have to compare value of current Pi to the previous one but I'm stuck.

How To Compute All Possible Arithmetic Operations Of 4 Integers

Nov 25, 2014

I'm new to Java and I want to write a program that compute all the possible arithmetic operations of 4 integers.

For example, if the user enter 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively, then I want the computer to print out the following results:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4
1 + 2 + 3 - 4
1 + 2 + 3 * 4
1 + 2 + 3 / 4
..
1 / 2 / 3 / 4

(parenthesis can be ignored for this program)

This is what I have so far, but I don't know how to continue:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ArithmeticComputation{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner stdin = new Scanner(System.in);
int num1 = stdin.nextInt();

[Code] ....

I'm looking for a method that allows me to assign char into actual operators, so that I can loop through all the computation.

Servlets :: Getting Path Of The Base URL?

Feb 5, 2014

I have a data.json in my J2EE web app.I need to load it either from local path when unit testing or from url when the server starts up.

so I've set it to get the local path by default and what I'm trying to do is that it is is running on a server, I'd like to change the path to a url.

Here is my code:

public String getUrlBase(HttpServletRequest request) {
URL requestUrl;
try {
requestUrl = new URL(request.getRequestURL().toString());
String portString = requestUrl.getPort() == -1 ? "" : ":" + requestUrl.getPort();
return requestUrl.getProtocol() + "://" + requestUrl.getHost() + portString + request.getContextPath() + "/";
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}

which works fine. The only issue is that I had to place this in the login page. Is there a way I can only set the path to the base url upon server start up?

Base Converting Program

Jan 24, 2015

The idea behind this program is that the program prompts the user to input an initial base (2-36), which checks to ensure that it is a valid int, then asks for a number to convert (which is taken as a String), then it asks which desired base the user would like to convert said number to. I have a basic program that is not complete, but allows me to do a few conversions using convertTo. I believe that I am going to have abandon this method and try mathematically converting every number. This leads me to what I can and cannot do. I am unable to use the initialBase as a condition to know what kind of number i an converting. For instance, I don't know how to make program know that if "2" is the initialBase, that that means that the String is a binary number. THAT is what I'm having problems with.

Here is my initial program that has a few things that are copied and pasted from other bits of my code in my program:

XML Code: Url...

I have broken down what I (think I) need to do here: Check to see if the input base is 2, 8, 10, 16, or 32. Hint: Put the possible bases in an array, and check the input base against the array. Check to see if the input number is valid for the base. Hint: Create a String "0123456789ABC...V" and compare each input character with the first "base" characters of the String. Check to see if the output base is 2, 8, 10, 16, or 32. Hint: Use the same possible bases array you used in step 1 to verify the input base.Check to see if the input base is equal to the output base. If so, print the input number. Perform a conversion from the input base to base 10. Perform a conversion from base 10 to the output base. You do this in 2 steps because it's easier to check each conversion separately.Output the converted number.

Base Form For Add / Edit / Delete

Sep 7, 2014

I have been developing what I intent to be a base class for several forms that will allow the user for adding / editing / deleteing records. These records could be customers, products, suppliers etc.

I have designed a basic form that has an add, edit and delete button. For the add button, I would want to clear all the values in all of the controls (textboxes, combox etc) in preperation for adding a new record.

My question is this. Is this something I should do in the base class OR should it be handled in the classes that will extend from the base class? Perhaps if the controls were datalinked to the data they will clear themselves (I haven't got that far yet so I dont know). I thought maybe I could write code in the base class that could loop through all of the controls and call this from the extended classes.

Postfix Calculator Doesn't Compute Negative Numbers

Nov 16, 2014

My verify method also always returns false. So I'm given three classes to begin with. Calculator, Expression, and InfixExpression and they are listed below.

The goal is to create a class called PostfixExpression that extends Expression and can read and calculate postfix expressions.

My evaluate() method works for most calculations but when it needs to return a negative value it just returns the positive equivalent.

Also, my verify method always returns false and I can't pinpoint why.

Here's my current code. Some things are commented out for debugging purposes.

import java.util.Scanner;
/**
* Simple calculator that reads infix expressions and evaluates them.
*/
public class Calculator

public static void main(String[] args) {

Confirming Conversion To Compute - Calculate Fahrenheit Or Celsius Value

Compute Standard Deviation For A Set Of Numbers - ClassCastException Being Thrown?

Apr 20, 2015

Basically I'm trying to compute the standard deviation for a set of numbers and I'm using previously know data to compute this. The data I'm working with is here (note all of this is fake as its for an assignment):

Id,First Name,Last Name,Quiz1,Quiz2,Quiz3,Lab1,Lab2,Assignment1,Exam1,Exam2
58136,Wade,Andrews,5,8,2,2,20,47,20,40
59759,Jacqueline,Simmons,9,4,1,16,13,2,82,41
28056,Frederick,Castro,8,0,6,3,6,29,53,63
15532,Annette,Myers,2,6,0,14,13,4,77,43

Next this is the code that I know is producing the error:

/**
* Pass in original data from files, and pass in computed grades as arraylist. this returns all of the standard deviations to be printed
*/
public static ArrayList calcStandDev(String data1[], ArrayList<Double> grades, ArrayList<Integer> averages)
{
double standDev = 0;
int j = 0;
//gets rid of first element in string array, makes processing MUCH easier
String[] data = Arrays.copyOfRange(data1, 1, data1.length);
 
[Code] ....

Look for the line with all the ***'s, it is producing the "java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Double cannot be cast to java.lang.Integer".

The reason I dont undersand why its producing this error is because temp.get(i) should be a integer - averages.get(i) (is type double), I do believe automatic up casting is present here making them both a double then I multiply it by itself producing a double? I dont understand where the casing is occurring. And just incase you want the formula I'm using for standard deviation here it is:

((x1 - ave)^2 + (x2 - ave) ^2 + (xn - ave) ^ 2) / (n-1)

then squareroot above

Why I'm getting this error! I tried changing a few dataTypes but I just cant avoid exceptions being thrown everywhere .

Private Var Won't Save Value Of Public Getter Function From Base C

Sep 15, 2014

I'm working on this program for a class to create objects of a commissioned employee and union employee. Everything seems to work ok, but when I run my final pay calculation, one of my getter functions will not pass the variable for the pay into a class specific variable called check. here is the code in this function.

public void finalPayCal_U() {
setweekPay();//calculates weeks pay under 40 hours, stored in getweekpay
check = getweekPay();
if(getHours() > 40){
check = check + (1.5 * (getHours() - 40) * getRateOfPay());
}
check =- Dues;
}
}

The issue lies in check = getweekPay();

I thought this was a legal move, but I can't get it to work. It doesn't come back with anything more than 0 any time I run it.

All of these functions are out of the base class, employee (this function itself lives in the derived union class)

public void setweekPay() {
if (hours <= 40) {
weekPay = hours * rateOfPay;
} else {
weekPay = 40 * rateOfPay;
}
}

When I run, this function works as it returns the value when i print it to test.

however, when I do the part that says check = getWeekPay() above, it doesn't change the check variable. The only thing I have on the check variable is the dues taken out of it at the end, so it ends up being a negative number.

I have a similar problem with the other derived class's check variable. Both classes have the same variable as private but one is check the other checkC.
