Question
Chapter 3, Problem 2MQ6
Program Plan Intro
ToString Method:
The method ToString() is used to convert the number to string. All the numeric data types use ToString() method for this conversion. This method allows the user to format the value such as specifying the decimal places and adding special characters to the string which is to be displayed.
The ToString() methods formats the copy of value present in the numeric variable and then returns the result as string value.
Syntax:
numericVariableName.ToString(formatString)
- The numericVariableName is the variable name.
- The parameter formatString is used to format the variable’s value.
- The formatString string should be in the form of “Axx”.
- “A” represents the build format specifier and “xx” specifies the precision of the digits.
- The format specifier can be in upper case letter or lower case letter.
- The formatString string should be in the form of “Axx”.
The following table represents the list of format specifiers available in visual basic:
| Format specifier | Description |
| C or c (Currency) | It displays the string with dollar sign and included with a thousand separators. Negative values enclosed with parentheses. |
| N or n (Number) | It displays the string with a thousand separators but not include a dollar sign. Negative values preceded by minus sign. |
|
F or f (Fixed-point) | It displays the string without thousand separator and dollar sign. Negative values preceded by minus sign. |
| P or p (Percent) | It multiplies the number by 100 and displays the result with percentage sign and negative values preceded by minus sign. |

Change the following code so that there is always at least one way to get from the left corner to the top right, but the labyrinth is still randomized.
The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. Take care that the player and the dragon cannot start off on walls. Also the dragon starts off from a randomly chosen position
public class Labyrinth { private final int size; private final Cell[][] grid;
public Labyrinth(int size) { this.size = size; this.grid = new Cell[size][size]; generateLabyrinth(); }
private void generateLabyrinth() { Random rand = new Random(); for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) { // Randomly create walls and paths grid[i][j] = new Cell(rand.nextBoolean()); } } // Ensure start and end are…
Change the following code so that it checks the following 3 conditions:
1. there is no space between each cells (imgs)
2. even if it is resized, the components wouldn't disappear
3. The GameGUI JPanel takes all the JFrame space, so that there shouldn't be extra space appearing in the frame other than the game.
Main():
Labyrinth labyrinth = new Labyrinth(10);
Player player = new Player(9, 0); Dragon dragon = new Dragon(9, 9);
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Labyrinth Game"); GameGUI gui = new GameGUI(labyrinth, player, dragon);
frame.add(gui); frame.setSize(600, 600); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); frame.setVisible(true);
public class GameGUI extends JPanel { private final Labyrinth labyrinth; private final Player player; private final Dragon dragon; //labyrinth, player, dragon are just public classes
private final ImageIcon playerIcon = new ImageIcon("data/images/player.png");…
Make the following game user friendly with GUI, with some simple graphics. The GUI should be in another seperate class, with some ImageIcon, and Game class should be added into the pane.
The following code works as this: The objective of the player is to escape from this labyrinth. The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. The player can move only in four directions: left, right, up or down. There are several escape paths in all labyrinths. The player’s character should be able to moved with the well known WASD keyboard buttons. If the dragon gets to a neighboring field of the player, then the player dies. Because it is dark in the labyrinth, the player can see only the neighboring fields at a distance of 3 units.
Cell Class:
public class Cell { private boolean isWall; public Cell(boolean isWall) { this.isWall = isWall; } public boolean isWall() { return…

Palindrome numbers are numbers that their decimal representation can be read from left to right and from right to left (e.g. 12321, 5995, 1234321). The program will create T worker threads to check for prime and palindrome numbers in the given range (T will be passed to the program with the Linux command line). Each of the threads works on a part of the numbers within the range. Your program should have some global shared variables: • numOfPrimes: which will track the total number of prime numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindroms: which will track the total number of palindrome numbers found by all threads. numOfPalindromic Primes: which will count the numbers that are BOTH prime and palindrome found by all threads. TotalNums: which will count all the processed numbers in the range. In addition, you need to have arrays…arrow_forward
