Chapter 3, Problem 4PP

Write a program that scores a blackjack hand. In blackjack, a player receives from two to five cards. The cards 2 through 10 are scored as 2 through 10 points each. The face cards—jack, queen, and king—are scored as 10 points. The goal is to come as close to a score of 21 as possible without going over 21. Hence, any score over 21 is called “busted.” The ace can count as either 1 or 11, whichever is better for the user. For example, an ace and a 10 can be scored as either 11 or 21. Since 21 is a better score, this hand is scored as 21. An ace and two 8s can be scored as either 17 or 27. Since 27 is a “busted” score, this hand is scored as 17.

The user is asked how many cards she or he has, and the user responds with one of the integers 2, 3, 4, or 5. The user is then asked for the card values. Card values are 2 through 10, jack, queen, king, and ace. A good way to handle input is to use the type char so that the card input 2, for example, is read as the character '2', rather than as the number 2. Input the values 2 through 9 as the characters '2' through '9'. Input the values 10, jack, queen, king, and ace as the characters 't', 'j', 'q', 'k', and 'a'. (Of course, the user does not type in the single quotes.) Be sure to allow upper- as well as lowercase letters as input.

After reading in the values, the program should convert them from character values to numeric card scores, taking special care for aces. The output is either a number between 2 and 21 (inclusive) or the word Busted. You are likely to have one or more long multiway branches that use a switch statement or nested if-else statement. Your program should include a loop that lets the user repeat this calculation until the user says she or he is done.

When the FCC added Color Television to the Industry Standards, they went with the system developed in the 1940s by Peter Goldman for CBS. Question 15 options: True False Part of the reason that many critics disliked 1950s gameshows was the fact that gameshows offered one of the few opportunities to see unscripted interactions with "real" (average/non-famous) people on television. Question 16 options: True False The Andy Griffith Show is an example of the "rural revival" shows that become enormously popular on 1960s American television. Question 19 options: True False During the Network Era, the hours before primetime each day were exclusively devoted to locally-produced programming, not programming dictated by an affiliate station's parent network. Question 20 options: True False

Although color television was not added to the industry standard until 1956, CBS had been broadcasting selected special events in color as early as 1950. Question 1 options: True False Two key factors in creating the Network Era of American television were the FCC licensing freeze and ______________. Question 4 options: The Quiz Show Scandals Habitual Viewing Operation Frontal Lobes Drop-In Viewing Least Objectionable Programming was designed to embrace the public service-oriented vision of using television to elevate mass culture and enrich viewers. Question 6 options: True False By the end of the 1950s, all three remaining networks (NBC, CBS, & ABC) were broadcasting their entire nightly programming schedule in full color. Question 9 options: True False

7. See the code below and solve the following. public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { int result = 0; } result = fn(2,3); System.out.println("The result is: + result); // fn(x, 1) = x // fn(x, y) = fn(x, y-1) + 2, when y>1 public static int fn(int x, int y) { if (x <= 1) return x; else return fn(x, y-1) + 2; } } 7-1. This program has a bug that leads to infinite recursion. Modify fn(int x, int y) method to fix the problem. (2 point) 7-2. Manually trace the recursive call, fn(2,3) and show the output (step by step). (2 point) 7-3. Can you identify the Base Case in recursive method fn(int x, int y)? (1 point)
