Chapter 5, Problem 1RE

In which sequence are the lines of the Cubes.java program in Section 5.2 executed, starting with the first line of main?

Program Plan Intro

Introduction:

• Define the class named “Cubes”.
• Define the main method.
• Declare and assign the required variables.
• Print the volume of the cube with length of the side as “2”.
• Print the volume of the cube with length of the side as “10”.
• Define the static method named “cubeVolume”.
• Declare and assign the required double variable.
• Return the value stored in the variable “volume”.

Explanation of Solution

//define a class

public class Cubes

{

    //define the main method

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        //declare the required variables

        double result1=cubeVolume(2);

        double result2=cubeVolume(10);

        //print the output statements

        System.out.println("A cube with side length 2 has

  volume"

  +result1);

        System.out.println("A cube with side length 10

  has volume"

  +result2);

    }

    //define the static method

    public static double cubeVolume(double sideLength)

    {

        //declare the required variables

        double volume=sideLength*sideLength*sideLength;

        //return statement

        return volume;

    }

}

Sample Output

A cube with side length 2 has volume 8

A cube with side length 10 has volume 1000
