Converting From Numbers To Character

This program ask for user to input an integer between 0 to 35. If the user input integer between 0 to 9, the program output the corresponding integer. However, if the user input is greater than 9, the program will have to execute in the following form: (e.g. : If the integer is 10 --> output is 'A', if the integer is 11 --> output is 'B', and so on and 35 --> output is 'Z')

Sample Code:

import java.util.*;

public class CheckNumber
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int num2Change, newNum;

System.out.println("Please enter an integer between 0 to 35: ");
num2Change = sc.nextInt();

while(num2Change >= 0 && num2Change <>
{
if(num2Change >= 0 && num2Change <>
{
System.out.println("Output is: " +num2Change);
}
else
if(num2Change >= 10 && num2Change <>
{
newNum = num2Change + 55;
System.out.println("Output is: " +(char)(newNum));
}
System.out.println("Please enter an integer between 0 to 35: ");
num2Change = sc.nextInt();
}
System.out.println("You have input an invalid integer.");
}
}

Converting From Roman Numeral To Decimal

This program converts Roman numerals into decimal equivalents. The program prompts the user for a Roman numeral, which is entered as a string. After converting the Roman numeral to decimal, the program prints the decimal numeral. The program halts with an error message if the user enters a string that is not a valid Roman numeral. Assume that each Roman numeral has a maximum length of 10. The following table gives the Roman symbols and their decimal equivalents:

Roman	Decimal
M	1,000
D	500
C	100
L	50
X	10
V	5
I	1

The algorithm for converting a Roman numeral R₁, R₂, …, R_n to decimal is

1. Set i to 1, where i is the position of the symbol currently being scanned.

2. Set convert to 0. At the conclusion of the algorithm, convert is the decimal value of the Roman numeral.

3. If i = n, add the decimal value of R_n to convert and stop.

4. If R_i ≥ R_i+1 in decimal, add the decimal value of R_i to convert, set i to i+1, and go to step 3.

5. If R_i <>i+1 in decimal, subtract the decimal value of R_i from convert, set i to i+1, and go to step 3.

Example: The decimal value of the Roman numeral XIV is 14. Initially, convert is 0. Because X’s value id greater than I’s, we add 10 to convert so that convert now equals 10. Because I’s value is less than V’s, we subtract 1 from convert, which now equals 9. Because V is the last numeral, we add 5 to convert to obtain 14.

Your program should consist of a class, say RomanType. An object of the type RomanType should do the following:

a. Store the number as a Roman numeral.

b. Convert and store the number into decimal.

c. Print the number as a Roman numeral and decimal number.

Sample Code:

Method in class RomanType is for converting the value of the roman to decimal.

How To Output Multiple Elements Per Line From An Array

This program output multiple elements per line from an array.

Sample Question:

Declare an array myList with 40 elements of type int. Then initialized the first 20 elements of the array with the square of the index variable. Then the last 20 elements of the array value is initialized to four times the index variable. Output five elements per line.

Sample Code:


public class ArrayMyList
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int arraySize = 40;
int lineToOutput = 5;
int[] myList = new int[arraySize];

for(int i = 0; i < arraySize; i++)
{ if(i < 20)
myList[i] = i * i;
else
myList[i] = i * 4;

if((i + 1) % lineToOutput == 0)
System.out.print(array[i]+ "\n");
else
System.out.print(array[i]+ "\t");
}
}
}
