CSE 110 - Lab 6
What this Lab Is About:
Working with classes
Problem Description: For this Lab you have to implement a class Person. A person has a
fistname, lastname, address, and birthday year. Supply a constructor and the following methods:
getName(), getAge(), getAddress, and changeAddress(),.
Step 1: Getting Started Create a class called Lab6. Be sure to name your file Lab6.java.
Lab Documentation:
At the beginning of each programming assignment you must have a comment block with the
following information:
/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// AUTHOR: your name
// FILENAME: title of the source file
// SPECIFICATION: description of the program
// FOR: CSE 110- Lab #6
// TIME SPENT: how long it took you to complete the assignment //----------------------------------
-------------------------*/
Step 2: Declaring Class
Examining the problem, we need to create a Person class, declare Person class as follows
class Person {
}
Inside the class, declare some data members: a string variable called firstname, a string variable
called lastname, and an integer called birthYear.
// declare some variables of different types:
// an string called firstname
//-->
// a string called lastname
//-->
// a string called address
//-->
// an int called birthYear
//-->
Step 3: Defining the constructor
Remember the constructor assigns input data to the data members.
public Person (String fname, String lname, String
addr, int year)
{
// write the segment of code
//that assigns input data to the data members
}
Step4: Supply the methods
A method called getName() to get the name of an object Person:
public String getName()
{
// write a line of code
//that returns the last name
}
A method called getAge() to get the age of an object Person:
public int getAge(int currentYear)
{
// write a segment of code
//that returns the age
}
A method called getAddress() to get the age of an object Person:
public String getAddress()
{
// write a line of code
//that returns the address
}
A method called changeAddress(String addr) to change the address of an object Person:
public String changeAddress(String addr)
{
// write the segment of code
//that updates the address
}
Step4: Calling the constructor of Person class from the “main” method
In order to use Person class variables and methods we need to have a runner function.
For any class in java, “main” method will be the running method.
You class Lab6 will have the main method.
public class Lab6{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
}
}
In order to use the Person class variables and methods, you need to use the constructor to create
an object Person.
public class Lab6{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//declare variab.
Machine learning algorithms can learn through supervised, unsupervised, or reinforcement learning. Supervised learning involves providing labeled examples to learn a function that maps inputs to outputs. Unsupervised learning identifies hidden patterns in unlabeled data. Reinforcement learning involves an agent learning through trial-and-error interactions with a dynamic environment. Machine learning has applications in areas like computer vision, natural language processing, medical diagnosis, and more.
This class is abstract but it does not provide implementation of abstract method print(). An abstract class must be subclassed and the abstract methods must be implemented in the subclass. We cannot create an object of an abstract class directly, it has to be through its concrete subclass.
The document provides an overview of lecture 03 on objects and classes in Java, including reviewing basic concepts, declaring and using classes, implementing inheritance, and discussing abstract classes and interfaces. It also includes examples of declaring classes, using constructors and methods, and implementing inheritance and polymorphism. The lecture aims to help students understand object-oriented concepts in Java like classes, objects, inheritance and polymorphism.
The document discusses static methods, static variables, and wrapper classes in Java. Static methods can be called without creating an object and belong to the class itself. A static variable is shared among all instances of a class. Wrapper classes allow primitive types to be used as object types and contain useful constants and conversion methods.

This document contains a sample exam for a Computer Programming 2 course. It consists of 3 questions worth a total of 15 marks. Question 1 (4 marks) asks students to determine the output of a code sample involving interfaces and inheritance. Question 2 (3 marks) asks students to identify the line number and cause of compilation errors in 3 code samples. Question 3 (8 marks) asks students to write code for a Student class and a driver class to test it, involving adding courses and grades to Student objects in an array that also contains Teacher objects. The exam is 60 minutes long and instructs students to write their answers directly on the question pages.
The document provides an overview of defining custom classes in Java, including how to return objects from methods, use the 'this' keyword, define overloaded methods and constructors, create class and static methods, implement parameter passing, organize classes into packages, and document classes with Javadoc comments. Key concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction are not discussed. The chapter aims to describe the basics of defining custom classes in Java.
This document provides instructions for a programming assignment involving a class called AverageOrderLocate. Students are asked to complete three methods within the class: averageOfPositives to calculate the average of positive numbers in an array, orderDescending to sort an array in descending order, and locateGuess to search a sorted array for a user-guessed number and output its position. The document outlines the parameters and functionality of each method. It also provides example output to help guide students in properly implementing and running the full program.
This document discusses defining custom classes in Java. It covers topics like returning objects from methods, using the "this" keyword, overloaded methods and constructors, class methods and variables, and organizing classes into packages. Key points include how objects are passed by value to method parameters rather than by reference, and how to document classes using Javadoc comments.
you will learn how to create your own methods with or without return values, invoke a method with or without parameters, and apply method abstraction in the program design.
The mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set can have multiple modes if two or more values tie for most frequent. Mode is calculated by finding the most common value(s). Mode is easy to calculate but does not use all data points. Weighted mean assigns weights to values based on importance before calculating the average. The relationship between mean, median and mode indicates the symmetry or skew of a distribution.

Alena Holligan presented on demystifying object-oriented programming in PHP. She discussed key OOP concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, abstract classes and traits. The presentation covered terminology, creating classes and objects, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism through subclasses and interfaces. Later sections discussed namespaces, type declarations, magic methods, magic constants and static methods. The goal was to explain core OOP concepts in PHP through examples and challenges for attendees.
This document discusses Java methods, classes, and key concepts like overloading, parameter passing, recursion, access control, static methods/variables, and nested classes. It provides examples of overloading methods based on parameters, passing objects and primitives as parameters, recursively calculating factorials, using access specifiers like public and private, defining static class members, and creating inner classes. It also covers strings, command line arguments, and common classes like String and StringBuffer.
1. The document discusses inheritance in C++ and object-oriented programming. Inheritance allows a derived class to inherit attributes and behaviors from a base class to enable code reuse and extend functionality.
2. Single inheritance involves deriving a class from a single base class, while multiple inheritance involves deriving from multiple base classes.
3. An example shows how a grad_student class inherits from a base student class, reusing attributes like name and ID while adding new attributes like department and thesis.

Question 1
1. Read the employee_attrition dataset and save it as df. Recall that the target variable in this
dataset is named 'Attrition.'
1. Check if the dataset is imbalanced by counting the number of Noes and Yeses in the target
variable Attrition.
Hints:
Imbalanced data refers to a situation where the number of observations is not the
same for all the classes in a dataset. For example, the number of churned
employees is 4000, while the number of unchurned employees is 40000. This
means this dataset is imbalanced.
You need to access the target variable Attrition and count how many Yes and No
there is in this variable. If the number of Yes's is equal to the number of No's, then
the dataset is balanced. Otherwise, it is not balanced.

This document contains the solutions to 8 questions related to Java OOP concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, method overriding and overloading.
The questions cover topics like determining the output of sample code, identifying true/false statements about OOP concepts, explaining the differences between method overriding and overloading, designing UML class diagrams to model relationships between classes, and writing Java programs to test class hierarchies and subclasses.
Detailed explanations and code samples are provided for each question to demonstrate concepts like invoking superclass constructors, determining pass/fail conditions for student grades based on average test scores, implementing abstract classes and interfaces, and creating subclasses that extend the functionality of base classes.
This document discusses various aspects of data collection, preparation, and analysis using SPSS. It covers topics such as data collection methods, data formatting, data preparation including coding, editing, and cleaning, and basic descriptive statistical analysis techniques like frequency tables, measures of central tendency, and cross-tabulation. The goal is to transform raw data into a usable form for answering research questions and testing hypotheses.
The document discusses methods in C# programming. Some key points:
1. Methods are blocks of code that perform specific tasks and can be reused by calling the method multiple times. Parameters can pass data into methods.
2. To define a method, use the name followed by parentheses and place the method code inside curly braces. The method type (void, int, etc.) indicates if it returns a value.
3. Methods are called by writing the name followed by parentheses and passing arguments for any parameters. Parameters act as variables inside the method. Default parameter values can be specified.
4. Methods can return values using the return keyword, take multiple parameters, use named arguments, and be overloaded
This document contains an exam for a Computer Programming 2 course, including 5 questions worth a total of 40 marks.

This document contains a sample exam for a Computer Programming 2 course. It consists of 3 questions worth a total of 15 marks. Question 1 (4 marks) asks students to determine the output of a code sample involving interfaces and inheritance. Question 2 (3 marks) asks students to identify the line number and cause of compilation errors in 3 code samples. Question 3 (8 marks) asks students to write code for a Student class and a driver class to test it, involving adding courses and grades to Student objects in an array that also contains Teacher objects. The exam is 60 minutes long and instructs students to write their answers directly on the question pages.
The document provides an overview of defining custom classes in Java, including how to return objects from methods, use the 'this' keyword, define overloaded methods and constructors, create class and static methods, implement parameter passing, organize classes into packages, and document classes with Javadoc comments. Key concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction are not discussed. The chapter aims to describe the basics of defining custom classes in Java.
This document provides instructions for a programming assignment involving a class called AverageOrderLocate. Students are asked to complete three methods within the class: averageOfPositives to calculate the average of positive numbers in an array, orderDescending to sort an array in descending order, and locateGuess to search a sorted array for a user-guessed number and output its position. The document outlines the parameters and functionality of each method. It also provides example output to help guide students in properly implementing and running the full program.
This document discusses defining custom classes in Java. It covers topics like returning objects from methods, using the "this" keyword, overloaded methods and constructors, class methods and variables, and organizing classes into packages. Key points include how objects are passed by value to method parameters rather than by reference, and how to document classes using Javadoc comments.
you will learn how to create your own methods with or without return values, invoke a method with or without parameters, and apply method abstraction in the program design.
The mode is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set can have multiple modes if two or more values tie for most frequent. Mode is calculated by finding the most common value(s). Mode is easy to calculate but does not use all data points. Weighted mean assigns weights to values based on importance before calculating the average. The relationship between mean, median and mode indicates the symmetry or skew of a distribution.
Learn about how to define and invoke methods in Java, how to use parameters and return results. Watch the video lesson here:

Alena Holligan presented on demystifying object-oriented programming in PHP. She discussed key OOP concepts like classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, interfaces, abstract classes and traits. The presentation covered terminology, creating classes and objects, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism through subclasses and interfaces. Later sections discussed namespaces, type declarations, magic methods, magic constants and static methods. The goal was to explain core OOP concepts in PHP through examples and challenges for attendees.
This document discusses Java methods, classes, and key concepts like overloading, parameter passing, recursion, access control, static methods/variables, and nested classes. It provides examples of overloading methods based on parameters, passing objects and primitives as parameters, recursively calculating factorials, using access specifiers like public and private, defining static class members, and creating inner classes. It also covers strings, command line arguments, and common classes like String and StringBuffer.
1. The document discusses inheritance in C++ and object-oriented programming. Inheritance allows a derived class to inherit attributes and behaviors from a base class to enable code reuse and extend functionality.
2. Single inheritance involves deriving a class from a single base class, while multiple inheritance involves deriving from multiple base classes.
3. An example shows how a grad_student class inherits from a base student class, reusing attributes like name and ID while adding new attributes like department and thesis.

Question 1
1. Read the employee_attrition dataset and save it as df. Recall that the target variable in this
dataset is named 'Attrition.'
1. Check if the dataset is imbalanced by counting the number of Noes and Yeses in the target
variable Attrition.
Hints:
Imbalanced data refers to a situation where the number of observations is not the
same for all the classes in a dataset. For example, the number of churned
employees is 4000, while the number of unchurned employees is 40000. This
means this dataset is imbalanced.
You need to access the target variable Attrition and count how many Yes and No
there is in this variable. If the number of Yes's is equal to the number of No's, then
the dataset is balanced. Otherwise, it is not balanced.

This document contains the solutions to 8 questions related to Java OOP concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, method overriding and overloading.
The questions cover topics like determining the output of sample code, identifying true/false statements about OOP concepts, explaining the differences between method overriding and overloading, designing UML class diagrams to model relationships between classes, and writing Java programs to test class hierarchies and subclasses.
Detailed explanations and code samples are provided for each question to demonstrate concepts like invoking superclass constructors, determining pass/fail conditions for student grades based on average test scores, implementing abstract classes and interfaces, and creating subclasses that extend the functionality of base classes.
This document discusses various aspects of data collection, preparation, and analysis using SPSS. It covers topics such as data collection methods, data formatting, data preparation including coding, editing, and cleaning, and basic descriptive statistical analysis techniques like frequency tables, measures of central tendency, and cross-tabulation. The goal is to transform raw data into a usable form for answering research questions and testing hypotheses.
The document discusses methods in C# programming. Some key points:
1. Methods are blocks of code that perform specific tasks and can be reused by calling the method multiple times. Parameters can pass data into methods.
2. To define a method, use the name followed by parentheses and place the method code inside curly braces. The method type (void, int, etc.) indicates if it returns a value.
3. Methods are called by writing the name followed by parentheses and passing arguments for any parameters. Parameters act as variables inside the method. Default parameter values can be specified.
4. Methods can return values using the return keyword, take multiple parameters, use named arguments, and be overloaded

Sales and Disposal of Assets
After reviewing the scenario, explain the impact that the adjusted basis has on the calculation of tax liability, and propose at least two (2) tax-planning strategies for reducing, eliminating, or deferring the payment of capital gains taxes. Also, discuss other alternatives aimed at optimizing deductions or reducing taxes, such as selling the property to an unrelated third party which, in turn, allows losses to be deductible expenses.
Imagine that you are a tax consultant and a client needs your advice on how to reduce his tax liability on the sale of depreciable assets that have not been fully depreciated. The client has identified three (3) long-term depreciable assets and assumes that he will be able to pay capital gains taxes on the profit from their sale. It would be to your client’s advantage to treat a taxable gain as long-term capital gain to which lower rates apply and a loss is categorized as an ordinary loss, which can offset ordinary loss, which can offset ordinary income. Discuss the treatment of gains and losses for Section 1231 and Section 1245 of the Internal Revenue Code, and recommend at least three (3) tax-planning strategies that would assist the client in reducing his tax liability.

· 1-According to chapter 8, a team is small number of people with similar skills who are committed to one ambition, performance goals, and pursuit for which they hold themselves accountable. In the other hand, a group is two or more people freely interacting who share norms and goals and have a common identity. The size of a group is limited by the potential for mutual interaction and mutual awareness. I was part of team during my military service, which I agree with the chapter that a team is more than just a group, because all my team members worked together towards a common goal and we all share responsibility for the team's success.

LAB 5: IMAGE FILTERING
ECE180: Introduction to Signal Processing
OVERVIEW
You have recently learned about the convolution sum that serves as the basis of the FIR filter difference equation. The filter
coefficient sequence {𝑏𝑘} – equivalent to the filter’s impulse response ℎ[𝑛] – may be viewed as a one-dimensional moving
window that slides over the input signal 𝑥[𝑛] to compute the output signal 𝑦[𝑛] at each time step. Extending the moving
window concept to a 2-D array that slides over an image pixel array provides a useful and popular way to filter an image.
In this lab project you will implement two types of moving-window image filters, one based on convolution and the other
based on the median value of the pixel grayscale values spanned by the window. You will also gain experience with the
built-in image convolution filter imfilter.
OUTLINE
1. Develop and test a 33 median filter
2. Develop and test a 33 convolution filter
3. Evaluate the median and convolution filters to reduce noise while preserving edges
4. Study the behavior of various 33 convolution filter kernels for smoothing, edge detection, and sharpening
5. Learn how to use imfilter to convolution-filter color images, and study the various mechanisms offered by
imfilter to deal with boundary effects
PREPARATION – TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE LAB

Introduction
In this portion of the lab, you will perform a
procedure known as genetic
transformation. that a gene is
a piece of DNA that provides the
instructions for making (codes for) a
protein. This gives an organism a
particular trait. Genetic transformation
literally means change caused by genes,
involves the insertion of a gene into an
organism in order to change the organism’s
trait. transformation is used in
many areas of biotechnology. In
agriculture, genes coding for traits such as
pest, or spoilage resistance can be
genetically transformed into plants. In
bioremediation, bacteria can genetically
transformed with genes enabling them to
digest oil spills. In medicine, diseases
caused defective genes are beginning
to be treated by gene therapy; that is, by
genetically transforming a person’s
cells with healthy copies of the defective
gene that causes the
You will use a procedure to transform
bacteria with a gene that codes for Green
Fluorescent (GFP). The real-life
source of this gene is the bioluminescent
jellyfish Aequorea victoria.
Fluorescent Protein causes the jellyfish to
fluoresce and glow in the dark.
LAB TOPIC 10: Nucleic Acids and Genetic Transformation
Following the procedure,
the bacteria express their newly acquired
jellyfish gene and produce the fluorescent

brilliant green color under ultraviolet
In this activity, you will learn about the
process of moving genes from one organism
to another with aid of a plasmid. In
nature, bacteria can transfer plasmids back
and forth allowing them to share
beneficial genes. This natural mechanism
allows bacteria to adapt to new
environments. The occurrence of
bacterial resistance to is due to

than one trait. Scientists can use a
called genetic engineering to insert
coding for new traits into a plasmid.
In case, the pGLO plasmid carries the
GFP that codes for the green

codes for a protein that gives the

Abstract:
Giving the popularity of social networking sites lately, it has made an effect on the English
language either in a positive way by adding new words to the dictionary a negative way by misus-
ing the grammar and using incorrect abbreviated words like turning “you’re” to “your’. In this re-
search proposal I would like to investigate what the effect of using social networks has on the Eng-
lish language and see if it was more positive than negative and vice versa. I will be making a survey
page to collect data on the way people use these sites. Furthermore, we will see if people know the
importance of using proper English and try to make social networking sites improve our way of us-
ing the English language.
Introduction:
Technology has changed rapidly in the past five years, we became more reliant on our smart phones
and it completely changed the way we communicate with each other in our everyday life, it made it
easier for us to interact with people across the world with a single touch through social networking
sites, such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Technology is clearly having some impact on the
English language and the words we use. Recently we saw how some Internet words have made it to
the Oxford dictionary this proves the impact it made, for example the word “Tweet” which means
according to the dictionary: “a posting made on the social networking service Twitter”. However,
some people think that it is okay to misuse Grammar or word spelling on social networking sites,
for instance, using “your” instead of “You’re”. So do these sites make a positive or a negative im-
pact on the English language?
Literature review:
A research titled “5 Ways That Social Media Benefits Writing the English language” written by
Mallary Jean Tenore in 2013 mentioned some ways that social media benefits writing and language,
such as how it increases the awareness of mistakes, when people make grammatical or spelling mis-
takes people will point them out via these websites therefore we become more aware of our spelling
and grammar thus improving our language. She also talked about how it creates new words and
meaning, such as “googled”, “tweeted”, “Friended”. She said that it also spotlight short writings
meaning it valued short storytelling with Vine videos where you have just six seconds to give a
message and in twitter you only have 140 characters to use which forces you to make every word
count.

MN6003 Levis Strauss Case:
Adapted from: “Does Levi Strauss still fit

Fortune Magazine and “Levi Strauss - The Boss
and the yogi” Jul 12th 2014 from the Economist
It used to be the only name in denim. Today the
161-year-old family owned company is just one
name among hundreds. Can anyone bring the
blue jeans pioneer back to its old glory? Enter
Chip Bergh—a former P&G brand whiz who once
made razorblades cool. Chip Bergh is not an
“apparel guy,” he says, while walking through
Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the new
home of the San Francisco 49ers. Levi’s 20-year,
$220 million investment in the naming rights for
the 49ers stadium is part of a larger push to tap
into the nostalgia Bergh believes everyone has
for the brand. Despite the setting, Bergh isn’t
really a “sports guy” either. He is much more of a
company man. “I still bleed Procter & Gamble
blue,” he says about his former employer.
A crowd full of fans wearing your clothing is the
fantasy of anyone heading an apparel company.
But at Levi—the largest jeans company in the
world and the undisputed founder of the
category—the fantasy has been far from reality
for a long time. The creator of the 501 has
struggled to keep its brand relevant for what
Bergh calls Levi’s “Lost Generation.” For 120
years the term “Levi’s” was synonymous with
“blue jeans.” Then came the turn of the 21st
century, when a fashion explosion in denim
suddenly gave shoppers a range of high-end
choices—including brands like 7 For All Mankind
(founded in 2000) and True Religion (2002),
whose labels sounded more like cults than pants.
At the same time, lower-end rivals that had been
kicking around for a while (Lee and Wrangler)
began nibbling away at market share and
consumers defected to cheaper jeans, sold by
“fast-fashion” retailers like Zara and H&M. Levi
got lost in the middle. With $7.1 billion in 1996
sales, the company used to be bigger than Nike.
By 2003, Levi’s revenues had bell-bottomed out
to $4.2 billion. Over the next decade, sales rose
only barely as the company failed to translate
affection for the brand into actual purchases.
Levi’s design team was late to key trends, like
colored denim for women and more tailored jeans
for men. Once in the top quintile of
the Fortune 500, Levi dropped off the list in 2012.
That kind of decline would be a challenge for any
new CEO, yet Bergh, a 57-year-old vegan and
former U.S. Army captain, is bringing a discipline
to the company that had been missing for nearly
20 years. He has taken an axe to the company’s
inflated cost structure and is convinced that he
can make Levi grow again. While still relying
heavily on the classic pieces of clothing that are
the seam of the denim giant’s business (think the
button-fly jean, the white pocket tee, the trucker
jacket), Bergh is now investing i ...

1 Lab 3 Newton’s Second Law of Motion Introducti.docxmercysuttle
1
Lab 3: Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Introduction
Newton’s Second law of motion can be summarized by the following equation:
Σ F = m a (1)
where Σ F represents a net force acting on an object, m is the mass of the object moving
under the influence of Σ F, and a is the acceleration of that object. The bold letters in
the equation represent vector quantities.
In this lab you will try to validate this law by applying Eq. 1 to the almost frictionless
motion of a car moving along a horizontal aluminum track when a constant force T
(tension in the string) acts upon it. This motion (to be exact the velocity of the moving
object) will be recorded automatically by a motion sensor. The experimental set up
for a car moving away from the motion sensor is depicted below.
If we consider the frictionless motion of the cart in the positive x-direction chosen in
the diagram, then Newton’s Second Law can be written for each of the objects as
follows:
T Ma (2)
and
– gT F ma (3)
From this system of equations we can get the acceleration of the system:
2
gF
a
m M
(4)
Because the motion of the car is not frictionless, to get better results it is necessary to
include the force of kinetic friction fk experienced by the moving car in the analysis.
When the cart is moving away from the motion detector (positive x-direction in the
diagram) Newton’s Second Law is written as follows for each of the moving objects
m and M:
1 1– kT f Ma (5)
and
1 1– gT F ma (6)
Since it is quite difficult to assess quantitatively the magnitude of kinetic friction
involved in our experiment we will solve the problem by putting the object in two
different situations in which the friction acts in opposite directions respectively while
the tension in the string remains the same.
When the cart M is forced to move towards the motion detector (negative x-direction
in the diagram), the corresponding Newton’s Second Law equations will change as
follows:
2 2kT f Ma (7)
and
2 2gT F ma (8)
Note that in equations 5, 6, 7, and 8 the direction of acceleration represented by vector
a has been chosen in the same direction as the direction of motion.
We are able to eliminate the force of kinetic friction on the final result, by calculating
the mean acceleration from these two runs:

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

5.1 Why Write Methods?
Divide and Conquer: Methods break a problem down into small
manageable pieces.
A method
1contains code that performs a specific task.
2simplifies programs because a method can be used in several
places in a program. This is known as code reuse (method
coded once, used many times).
facilitates the design, implementation, operation and
maintenance of large programs.
Programs can be created from standardized methods rather than
by building customized code.
Dividing a program into meaningful methods makes the program
easier to debug and maintain.

A value-returning method not only performs a task, but also
sends a value back to the code that called it.
name = input.nextLine();
System.out.printf(“Hi %s!”, name); OR
System.out.printf(“Hi %s!”, getName());

nextLine is a method that captures a name and returns it to be
stored in the variable name; therefore,
nextLine is a value-returning method.

5-12
A value-receiving method not only performs a task, but also
gets a value or values from the code that calls it.
name = input.nextLine();
System.out.println(“Hi “ + name + “!” );
OR
System.out.printf(“Hi %s!”, getName());
Source: Gaddis, Tony, Starting Out with Java From Control
Structures through Objects 4th Edition, Pearson Education Inc.,
2010, Chapter 5.
5.1 Value-Receiving Methods
“Hi “ plus the value in name plus “!” are all concatenated
(joined) then sent to println which is a value-receiving method
This String value/literal containing a name is sent to printf()
which in turn displays the greeting; therefore, printf is a value-
receiving method, but printf is also value-returning because it
returns the formatted output which is then printed.

Methods can … be declared static by placing the keyword static
between the access modifier and the return type of the method.
public static double milesToKilometers(double miles)
{…}
When a class contains a static method, it is not necessary to
create an instance (copy) of the class in order to use the method.
double kilosPerMile = Metric.milesToKilometers(1.0);

The String literal “700” is passed to the parseInt method.
The int value 700 is returned from the method and assigned to
the num variable.

validity and return true or false
public static boolean isValid( int number )
{
boolean status = false;
if(number >= 1 && number <= 100)
{
status = true;
}
return status;
}

5.7 Argument and Parameter Data Type Compatibility
When you pass an argument to a method, be sure that the
argument’s data type is compatible with the parameter
variable’s data type.
Java will automatically perform widening conversions, but
narrowing conversions will cause a compiler error.
double d = 1.0;
displayValue(d);

5.7 Arguments Passed by Value or by Reference
Passed by Value: In Java, all arguments of the primitive data
types are passed by value, which means that a copy of an
argument’s value is passed to a parameter variable.
If a parameter variable is changed inside a method, it has no
affect on the original argument.
See example: PassByValue.java
Passed by Reference: In Java, objects are passed by reference
which means the address (memory location) of the object is
passed/sent to a parameter variable.
Can the original object be affected if it’s changed inside the
method?
A method’s parameter variables are separate and distinct from
the arguments that are listed inside the parentheses of a method
call.

5-41
A local variable is declared inside a method and is not
accessible to statements outside the method.
Different methods can have local variables with the same names
because the methods cannot see each other’s local variables.
A method’s local variables exist only while the method is
executing. When the method ends, the local variables and
parameter variables are destroyed and any values stored are
lost.
Local variables are not automatically initialized with a default
value and must be given a value before they can be used.

5.12 Method Signature and Binding
A method signature consists of the method’s name and the data
types of the method’s parameters, in the order that they appear.
The return type is not part of the signature.
add(int, int)
add(double, double)
The process of matching a method call with the correct method
is known as static binding. The compiler uses the method
signature to determine which version of the overloaded method
to bind the call to.
