Using For Loop To Calculate Power?

Oct 16, 2014

I'm new to java and i'm trying to figure out how to calculate power in java using the for loop.

The geometric sequence is (d*c^(n-1)).

So it goes d, d*c^1, d*c^2,......., d*c^(n-1)

??????for (i=1; i<=n; i++){

result

}????????

How to program this. how do i write this using for loop?

Power Of Math - Calculate Volume Of A Cylinder By Asking User To Enter Height And Radius

Jan 29, 2015

How do you use power of math. I'm trying to write a calculator to calculate the volume of a cylinder by asking the user to enter the height and radius but when I use pow(2) it doesn't work. I imported java.lang.math class so i dont have to keep using math. for now my code runs just fine since I'm using radius * radius but I would really luv to use the power instead times each other when i have to use higher powers.

import java.util.Scanner;
import static java.lang.Math.*;
 public class Lab2 {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

How To Use For Loop To Calculate Product Of Consecutive Numbers

Feb 26, 2015

I wanted to know if I was off to the right start. I am trying to write a program using the for loop the calculate the product of the consecutive numbers 4 through 8 but so for I am getting 3 values output and I only want 1 value at the print out.

The code I am using outputs the numbers too large. I am trying to see where I went wrong.

for ( int i = 4 ; i <= 8; i++)
{
int j = i++;
int k = j++;
int l = k++;
int m = l++;
System.out.println( + (i*j*k*l*m) );

Write A Program Using Loop And Break To Calculate Value Of Pi

Oct 5, 2014

having some trouble doing this. Here are the requirements:

1)Write a program using loop and break to calculate the value of PI.
2)You can use the following equation to calculate PI. PI=4/1-4/3+4/5-4/7+4/9-4/11+4/13 etc.. The program shouldn't loop until the criteria is satisfied.
3)The criteria is the value of PI you get is very close to the “real” value (3.1415926), meaning that their difference
should be smaller than a very small numeric number, e.g., 0.0001).
4)The control structures you may need for this program are loop, if-else, and unlabeled break.
5)The output should have the format: for each iteration, it has iteration number and the corresponding value of PI until that
iteration. The last line would be the final value of PI.

Here is my code so far:

package ids;
public class IDS {
public static void main(String[] args) {
double pi = 0;
for(int i=1; i<=100000; i++){
if ((i%2)==0){
pi+=(4/(2*i-1));

For Loop - Calculate Total Of Series Of Numbers?

Nov 10, 2014

So basically, I've been trying to create a for loop that asks the user for a number between 1 and 30, then calculates the total of the series of numbers. For example, if 15 is entered, the calculation should be 1/15+2/14+3/13+...15/1 which would equal approximately 38.1. The problem I'm having is that the code doesn't loop whenever I type a number for some reason, which results in a very incorrect calculation. Here is my code so far:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class HmwLoop {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
double sum = 0;
for (double num1 = 1, num2 = 30; num1 <= 30 && num2 >= 1; num1++, num2--)

For Loop Program - Calculate Total Earnings For 30 Days

Oct 5, 2014

So I've attempted a for loop for this type of problem:If you receive $0.01 on the first day of your allowance, and the daily rate doubles each day after, calculate the total earnings for 30 days.

Output should be like:
Day ----- Daily allowance - Total allowance
1 -------- 0.01 -------------- 0.01
2 -------- 0.02 -------------- 0.03
3 -------- 0.04 -------------- 0.07

My code so far:

public class Allowance
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
int day = 0;
double daily = 0.0;
double total = 0.1;
System.out.println("Day Daily Allowance Total Allowance");
for(day = 0; day <= 30; )

Prompt User For Integer To Make Sure Length Entered By User Is A Power Of 2

Oct 8, 2014

Basically I need to make a program prompts the user for an integer, check to make sure the length entered by the user is a power of 2 and at least 2. Then I need to convert from base e to base 2 then I need to print the tick marks of a ruler based of the value of the length.

I got the whole converting thing working and the check for a power of 2, that wasn't an issue because it didn't require any recursion. I just don't know how to print out the proper tick mark values.

The way it is supposed to work is that it needs to look like this. Say the user enters 8;

012131210
012345678

Or if the user enters 16;

01213121412131210
01234567890123456

The bottom row is pretty much just the index value, that I print fine.

The top row though is supposed to be the length of the ticks on a ruler, with the middle most value being the value of the conversion from base e to base 2 from above. I can get that printed and what I get just looks like this.

For 8;

000030000
012345678

For 16;

00000000400000000
01234567890123456

As you can see I can get the middle value and the index values below but I don't know how to use recursion to get the right numbers.

Here's my current code.

import java.util.*;
public class TickMarks {
public static void main (String args[]){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean looping = true;
while(looping == true){
System.out.print("Please enter a length: ");

[Code]...

Now the methods isPowerOfTwo() and printLength() both work fine. However, I'm not sure how to get the left and right side working.

My thoughts were to split the length in half and get a left and right side. I gave both of them arrays so I can keep track of the values. Now as you've seen above I get all zeros and I know it's because that's the default value in an array, I just don't know how to get the proper values.

Unable To Print A Loop Inside Array Of Greater Size Than Loop Itself

Jan 27, 2015

I am trying to print a loop inside an array of a greater size than the loop itself. Like for example I have an array of size 7 but it has only 3 elements.

int[] array=new int[7]
array[0]=2;
array[1]=3;
array[2]=4;

now what I want to do is print these three numbers in a loop so that my array[3]=2;array[4]=3;array[5]=4 ...... till the last one. Also the array could be any size and not just 7.

While Loop Inside A For Loop To Determine Proper Length Of Variable

When Type Quit To Close Outer Loop / It Still Runs Inner Loop

Nov 2, 2014

I have everything else working. My problem is that when i type "quit" to close the outer loop. It still runs the inner loop. The National Bank manager wants you to code a program that reads each clients charges to their Credit Card account and outputs the average charge per client and the overall average for the total number of clients in the Bank.

Hint: The OUTER LOOP in your program should allow the user the name of the client and end the program when the name entered is QUIT.In addition to the outer loop, you need AN INNER LOOP that will allow the user to input the clients charge to his/her account by entering one charge at a time and end inputting the charges whenever she/he enters -1 for a value. This INNER LOOP will performed the Add for all the charges entered for a client and count the number of charges entered.

After INNER LOOP ends, the program calculates an average for this student. The average is calculated by dividing the Total into the number of charges entered. The program prints the average charge for that client, adds the Total to a GrandTotal, assigns zero to the Total and counter variables before it loops back to get the grade for another client.Use DecimalFormat or NumberFormat to format the numeric output to dollar amounts.

The output of the program should something like this:

John Smith average $850.00
Maria Gonzalez average $90.67
Terry Lucas average $959.00
Mickey Mouse course average $6,050.89
National Bank client average $1,987.67

Code:

public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
String name = "";
int charge = 0;
int count = -1;
int total = 1;
int grandtotal = 0;
int average = 0;

How To Store Value From Loop To Add To New Value From Loop

Feb 9, 2015

I am trying to make a program add values from a loop. So what its supposed to do is search through tokens on an imported file. The file lists State, Capital, and then capital population. Then take the population string, turn it into numbers, and then do stuff with the numbers. First I'm supposed to find the Highest and lowest population of the places in the file (which I did without problem), but the finally thing is I'm supposed to add each found population to the last so I can find the average of the populations.

I just cannot seem to grasp how to do that. I THINK I'm supposed to some how store the given value into a variable, but how do I get that variable to add to the new value?

like...?
Get token -> a
b = a
c = a + b

or wait no.....

Java Code :

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class CapPopS
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
File stateCAP = new File("state-capital-2004population.txt");
if (!stateCAP.exists())

How To Calculate Difference Between Two Dates

Oct 19, 2014

I have been tasked with creating an invoice (school assignment). Part of the calculations is creating an interest depending on the amount of days between the current date entered, and invoice date entered (The program prompts the user to enter both the current and invoice dates by asking for the day, month and year).

We are also supposed to set the contructor to a default date of 1/1/1900.. but I don't know how or where to code that.

How to calculate the difference between the CurrentDate and Invoice. I have displayed the dates to the user as follows.

public void displayDate() {
System.out.println("
Today's Date: " + month + "/" + day + "/" + year);
}
public void displayInvDate() {
System.out.println("

So I wrote a method that simply calculates the sum of all integers between 1 and a given integer n. The method works fine however, as n gets big the solution will have time and space problems.
