- Use scanner to read a floating-point value x.
- Compute 1.0 I x and store the result in y.
- Display x, y, and the product of x and y.
- Subtract 1 from the product of x and y and display the result.
Try your program with values of x that range from 2e−11 to 2ell. What can you conclude?

Program Plan:
- • Include the required header files.
- • Define main function.
- ○ Create an object for scanner.
- ○ Get the floating-point value from the user.
- ○ Calculate the “y” value.
- ○ Display “x”, “y” and product of “x” and “y”.
- ○ Subtract “1” from product of “x” and “y” and then display the result.
The program is used to read a floating point value then compute “y” and display “x”, “y”, product of “x” and “y” and also subtract “1” from product of “x” and “y” then display the result as follows:
Explanation of Solution
Program:
//include required header files
import java.util.Scanner;
//definition of "Approximation" class
public class Approximation
{
//definition of main method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//create an object for scanner
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
//declare the required variable
float x = 0, y;
//get the input from the user
System.out.println("Enter a floating point value.");
x = keyboard.nextFloat();
//calculate "y" value
y = (float) (1.0/x);
//display "x" and "y" value
System.out.println("x value is: "+ x);
System.out.println("y value is: "+ y);
//display product of "x" and "y"
System.out.println("Product of x and y is: "+ (x*y));
/*subtract 1 from product of "x" and "y" and display the result*/
System.out.println("The difference of x*y and 1 is " + ((x*y) - 1.0));
}
}
Conclusion:
The “x” depends on user but the product of “x” and “y” will always give “1” and difference of “x * y” and “1” is always “0” because, “1” is divided by “y” and then “y” is multiplied with the “x”. So there is no change in product of “x” and “y” and difference of “x * y” and “1”.
Output:
Enter a floating point value.
2.5
x value is: 2.5
y value is: 0.4
Product of x and y is: 1.0
The difference of x*y and 1 is 0.0

Define and use a new function, isEven, that returns a Boolean to make the condition in the if statement easier to understand. ef main() : page = int(input("Enter page number: ")) if page % 2 == 0 : print(page) else : print("%60d" % page) main()arrow_forwardWhat is the correct python code for the function def countWords(string) that will return a count of all the words in the string string of workds that are separated by spaces.arrow_forward
- Consider the following program that counts the number of spaces in a user-supplied string.
