Program Plan Intro

Polynomial

Program plan:

Polynomial.java

• Create a class named “Polynomial”. Inside the class,
  • Define the linked list
  • Define the “Polynomial ()” method.
    • Initialize the linked list.
    • Initialize the required terms.
  • Define the “add ()” method.
    • Define the iterator.
    • Loop that iterates for the values present in the list.
    • Use the if condition to validate the value and add the items.
  • Define the “multiply ()” method.
    • Create the object.
    • Loop that iterates for the terms and perform the multiplication
    • Return the result.
  • Define the “print ()” method.
    • Assign the required variables.
    • Loop that iterates for the terms.
    • Condition to compare the terms.

PolynomialTester.java

• Create a class named “PolynomialTester”. Inside the class,
  • Define the method “main ()”
    • Define the object.
    • Print the values.
    • Perform the necessary operations.
    • Display the expected result.

Term.java

• Create a class named “Term”. Inside the class,
  • Define the required varibales
  • Define the method “Term ()”
    • Initialize the values.
  • Define the method “getCoefficien ()”
    • Return the coefficient.
  • Define the method “getPower ()”
    • Return the power.
  • Define the method “multiply ()”
    • Return the resultant of the multiplied values.
  • Define the method “addIfSamePower ()”
    • Use condition to compare.
    • Return the result if the powers are same.
  • Define the method “toString ()”
    • Use condition to compare.
    • Return the coefficient based on the powers.
