Explanation of Solution

Algorithm to define a comparator class “DecOrder”:

Step 1: Define a static comparator class “DecOrder”.

Step 2: Inside that function declare a method “compare” to compare the values. This method returns the value.

Step 3: Outside the method, declare a variable to hold the capacity value.

Step 4: Create an object for the class “DecOrder”.

Step 5: Create a priority queue.

Defining a comparator class “DecOrder”:

//Define a static comparator class named "DecOrder"

static class DecOrder implements Comparator<Integer>

{

    //Function definition to compare values

    public int compare(Integer x, Integer y)

    {

        //Return the value

        return y...

Declare and implement 5 classes: FloatArray, SortedArray, FrontArray, PositiveArray & NegativeArray. 1- The FloatArray class stores a dynamic array of floats and its size. It has:- A parameterized constructor that takes the array size. - An add method that adds a float at the end of the array.- Overloading for the insertion operator << to write the array to afile (ofstream)- Overloading for the extraction operator >> to read the array elements from the file (ifstream) and add them to the array.- A destructor to deallocate the array2- The SortedArray inherits from FloatArray. It has:- A parameterized constructor that takes the array size. - An add method that adds a float at the right place in the arraysuch that the array remains sorted with every add. Don’t add to the array then sort but rather add in the right place.3- The FrontArray inherits from FloatArray. It has:- A parameterized constructor that takes the array size. - An add method that adds a float at the front…
Java Code:  Create a Parser class. Much like the Lexer, it has a constructor that accepts a LinkedList of Token and creates a TokenManager that is a private member. The next thing that we will build is a helper method – boolean AcceptSeperators(). One thing that is always tricky in parsing languages is that people can put empty lines anywhere they want in their code. Since the parser expects specific tokens in specific places, it happens frequently that we want to say, “there HAS to be a “;” or a new line, but there can be more than one”. That’s what this function does – it accepts any number of separators (newline or semi-colon) and returns true if it finds at least one. Create a Parse method that returns a ProgramNode. While there are more tokens in the TokenManager, it should loop calling two other methods – ParseFunction() and ParseAction(). If neither one is true, it should throw an exception. bool ParseFunction(ProgramNode) bool ParseAction(ProgramNode) -Creates ProgramNode,…
Tape for a Turing Machine (Doubly-linked List)”. JAVAA class named Tape to represent Turing machine tapes. The class should have an instance variable of type Cell that points to the current cell with these methods: public Cell getCurrentCell() -- returns the pointer that points to the current cell. public char getContent() -- returns the char from the current cell. public void setContent(char ch) -- changes the char in the current cell to the specified value. Don't forget the Javadoc comments. public void moveLeft() -- moves the current cell one position to the left along the tape. Note that if the current cell is the leftmost cell that exists, then a new cell must be created and added to the tape at the left of the current cell, and then the current cell pointer can be moved to point to the new cell. The content of the new cell should be a blank space. (Remember that the Turing machine's tape is conceptually infinite, so the linked list must be prepared to expand on-demand when the…
