Chapter 1, Problem 11E

Explanation of Solution

Program code:

//define a class TwoRockets

public class TwoRockets

{

    //define main() function

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        //calling the static methods

        tp();

        lne();

        btm();

        lne();

        stmt();

        lne();

        btm();

        lne();

        tp();

    }

    //define a method tp() to define top of the egg

    public static void tp()

    {

        //print the symbols

        System.out.println(" /\\ /\\");

        System.out.println(" / \\ / \\");

        System.out.println(" / \\ / \\");

    }

    //define a method btm()to define bottom of the egg

    public static void btm()

    {

        //print the symbols

        System.out.println("| | | |");

        System.out.println("| | | |");

    }

    public static void stmt()

    {

        //print the symbols

        System.out.println("|United| |United|");

        System...

Explanation of Solution

Redundancy reduced by static methods:

• There are four static methods defined in the program other than “main()” method. That are, “tp()”, “lne()”,  “stmt()”and “btm()”.
• Using the static methods, the same code is given in multiple place to get the output...

Explanation of Solution

Redundancy that cannot be reduced using static methods:

• There are four static methods defined in the program other than “main()” method. That are, “tp()”, “lne()”,  “stmt()”and “btm()”...
