Write and test a method that sums all the integers in a matrix of integers. Use 1_2_4_5_6_7_8_9_10_11_12_13_14_15_16_17 to test the method.

• As the instructions state, use a summing method that you call from the main() method.
• The method should be able to handle 2D matrices of any size.

Submit the SumMatrix.java file only.

Write and test a method that sums all the integers in the major diagonal in an n x n matrix of integers. Use 1_2_4_5_6_7_8_9_10_11_12_13_14_15_16_17 to test the method.

• A major diagonal is the diagonal formed from the top left corner to the bottom right corner of the matrix.
• The method you write should be able to handle 2D matrices of any size, as long as it's a square matrix (rows=columns).

Submit the SumMatrixDiag.java file only.

Write a program that randomly fills in 0s and 1s into a TicTacToe board, prints the board, and finds the rows, columns, or diagonals with all 0s or 1s. Use a two-dimensional array to represent a TicTacToe board. Here is a sample run of the program:

      
      001
      001
      111
      All 1's on row 2
      All 1's on column 2

Save and submit as BubbleSortString.java.

See some online notes on 1D array bubble sorts.

Complete the following method that sorts an array of Strings in ascending lexicographical order.

  public static void bubbleSortString(String[] s)
  {
  
  }

Include a main method that creates an unsorted one-dimensional array of Strings and uses the bubbleSortString method to sort the string array. The main method should then output the sorted array of Strings. Use this array of Strings to test your method.

• Save and submit as LocateLargest.java.

Complete the following method that outputs the row and column location of the largest element in a two-dimensional array.

  public static void locateLargest(double[][] a)
  {
  
  }

Include a main method that creates a two-dimensional array of doubles and uses the locateLargest method to display the location of the largest element in the array. Here is a sample run:

    In the following array:
    23.5   35   2    10
    4.5    3    45   3.5
    35     44   5.5  9.6
    The largest element is 45 at row 2, column 3.

Deadline:

Save all work under the folder cs176/Assignment3/ (or cs501b/Assignment3/) in your UNIX home folder.

Note: Indent your code properly or use the bluej auto-layout feature.

• Create Fan.java and TestFan.java.
• Use bluej-provided comment blocks to properly document the Fan class and its methods.

• Design a class named Fan (Fan.java) to represent a fan. The class contains:
  • Three constants (final int) named SLOW, MEDIUM, and FAST with values 1, 2, and 3 to denote the fan speed.
  • An int data field named speed that specifies the speed of the fan (default SLOW).
  • A boolean data field named on that specifies whether the fan is on (default false).
  • A double data field named radius that specifies the radius of the fan (default 5).
  • A String data field named color that specifies the color of the fan (default blue).
  • A default (no-argument) constructor that creates a default fan.
  • The accessor (get) and mutator (set) methods for all four data fields.
  • A method named toString() that returns a string description for the fan. If the fan is on, the method returns the fan speed, color, and radius in one combined string. If the fan is not on, the method returns fan color and radius along with the string “fan is off” in one combined string.

• Implement (test) the class.
  • Write a test program (TestFan.java) that creates two Fan objects.
    • To the first Fan object, assign maximum speed, radius 10, color yellow, and on status.
    • To the second Fan object, assign medium speed, radius 5, color blue, and off status.
    • Display the Fan objects by invoking their toString() methods.

• Create MineSquare.java.
• Use bluej-provided comment blocks to properly document the MineSquare class and its methods.

• Design a Minesweeper Square class that represents a single square (or cell) in the Minesweeper game. Save it as MineSquare.java. The class should have the following attributes:

       private  String  _shown;      // What a square is showing now
       private  boolean _mined;      // Square is mined or not
       private  boolean _flagged;    // Square is flagged or not
       private  boolean _questioned; // Square is question marked or not
       private  int     _minecount;  // Square's surrounding mine count
       private  boolean _opened;     // Player has opened this square or not

Create all needed get and set methods for these variables.

The possible values for the _shown String variable would be:

• “X” (a mine)
• a mine count number between 1 and 8
• “ ” (blank space) for mine count = 0
• “F” (a flag)
• “?” (question mark)

Think about how the MineSquare class variables might be related. For example, if a player puts a flag on a square, what would that square be showing? And, if a player opens a square, what would that square be showing?

You do not need to write a program to test the MineSquare class at this time.

Fraction add instance method

• Save and dropbox Fraction2.java and TestFraction2.java.
• Use the original Fraction class example as a starting point.
  • In the original Fraction class example, the addFraction and subtractFraction methods were static methods in TestFraction.
  • In Fraction2, make the addFraction and subtractFraction methods instance methods of the Fraction2 class.
• This is the way we want to be able to work with Fraction2 Class objects:

            //
            // Code that goes in TestFraction2.java:
            //
            Fraction2 f1 = new Fraction2( 5, 8 );
            Fraction2 f2 = new Fraction2( 1, 9 );
            Fraction2 f3 = new Fraction2();
            
            // This time, addFraction is an instance method of the Fraction2
            // class, so we use the object f3's addFraction() method, i.e.,
            // f3.addFraction().
            f3.addFraction( f1, f2 ); // f3 holds the result of 5/8 + 1/9
            
            System.out.println( f1.printFraction() + " + " +
                                f2.printFraction() + " = " +
                                f3.printFraction() );

The BlueJ project you create should contain Person.java, Student.java, StudentYear.java, Employee.java, Faculty.java, Staff.java, and TestPersons.java.

Design a class named Person and its two subclasses named Student and Employee.

• Make Faculty and Staff subclasses of Employee.

• A Person has a name (String)…
  • …and also getname/setName methods plus a toString method that returns the Person's name.

• A Student has a status variable which is set to one of the constants in the public enum StudentYear, defined below:
  • See the notes on enum.

          // put this in StudentYear.java
          public enum StudentYear { FRESHMAN, SOPHMORE, JUNIOR, SENIOR }

• An Employee has an office number (String), and salary (double).

• A Faculty member has a rank (String).

• A Staff member has a title (String).

• Override the Person class toString() method in each subclass to display just the subclass name and the person's name.

Keep the class files simple and short by using inheritance. In all the subclasses (every class besides Person), the only method you define should be the toString method.

Use the following TestPersons class to test the above classes:

                // TestPersons.java:
                // creates Person, Student, Employee, Faculty, and Staff objects

                public class TestPersons {
                  public static void main(String[] args) {

                    Person pete = new Person();
                    pete.setName("Pete");
                    System.out.println(pete + "\n");

                    Student stan = new Student();
                    stan.setName("Stan");
                    System.out.println(stan + "\n");

                    Employee ernie = new Employee();
                    ernie.setName("Ernie");
                    System.out.println(ernie + "\n");

                    Faculty coddington = new Faculty();
                    coddington.setName("Coddington");
                    System.out.println(coddington + "\n");

                    Staff starr = new Staff();
                    starr.setName("Starr");
                    System.out.println(starr);
                  }
                }

The BlueJ project you create should contain Fraction.java and FractionCalc.java.

Complete the FractionCalc GUI that we have been working on in class. Include a fourth button for the division operation. Yes, you will need to add a working divideFraction method to the Fraction class.
