Chapter 5, Problem 24PP
Write a program that converts a Roman number such as MCMLXXVIII to its decimal number representation. Hint: First write a method that yields the numeric value of each of the letters. Then use the following
total = 0
str = roman number string
While str is not empty
If str has length 1, or value(first character of str) is at least value(second character of str)
Add value(first character of str) to total.
Remove first character from str.
Else
difference = value(second character of str) - value(first character of str)
Add difference to total.
Remove first character and second character from str.

1. Write the method named shift3()
You are given a String str. Return a new String where
all of the characters are "shifted" by 3. Here is the
algorithm to do this
1. Visit each character in the String
2. Create a new char by adding 3
3. Store the new character in the output string
Examples:
shift3("hello") returns "khoor"
shift3("cat") returns "fdw"
shift3("frog") returns "iurj"
@param str the String to start with
@return the rotated String as described here
Write a method that finds the number of occurrences of a specified character in a string using thefollowing header:public static int countLetter(String str, char ch)Write a test program that prompts the user to enter a word and a letter of the alphabet. Theprogram should then count and display the number of occurrences of the letter in the word. Asample dialog for the program is shown below:

- Q1: Write a program that reads a set of N integers. Then, the program finds and outputs the sum of the even values and the sum of the odd values of them. For example: if the value entered for N=5, and the five integers are 3, 6, 2, 9, 7. Then the sum of even values (6+2 = 8), and the sum of odd values (3+9+7 = 19) Q2: Write a program that reads some numbers until it reaches a specific value (assume -1 is a stop value in this case). The program should find and outputs the average of all of the numbers (between 10...40) except the stop value (-1). For example: If the numbers look like: 12 5 30 48 -1. Then, the average of the numbers: (12+30)/2 = 21.arrow_forwardpublic static String pancakeScramble(String text) This nifty little problem is taken from the excellent Wolfram Challenges problem site where you can also see examples of what the result should be for various arguments.

For example, the word "scallions" has 2 s's and 1 n, so add_char_counts("scallions", "s", "n") returns 3. Hint: Use a string method to help solve this problem (count). You do not need an accumulator. For example: Test Result print(add_char_counts('Indiana', 'a', 'b')) 2 print(add_char_counts('BAHAMAS', 'A', 'B')) 4 print(add_char_counts('Mississippi', 'i', 'M')) 5 print(add_char_counts("spam spam spam spam", "s", "p")) 8arrow_forward

Depending on the last character of the sentence, print the message identifying the sentence as declarative (ends with a period), interrogative (ends with a question mark), exclamatory (end with an exclamation point), or other. Hint: you can use charAt() method from the String class to extract the last character of the input line. The character of a String str is at str.length()-1 position. For taking a sentence as input use the nextLine() method from the Scanner class. You have to use if/else if selection. Sample input and output: Sample 1 Input: How are you?

Given a text string, construct a new string by reversing its first two characters, then reversing the first three characters of that, and so on, until the last round where you reverse your entire current string.This problem is an exercise in Java string manipulation. For some mysterious reason, the Java String type does not come with a reverse method.

- Java program:; User's name. Write a program that prompts for and reads the user's first and last name (separately). Then print a string composed of the first letter of the user's first name, followed by the first five characters of the user's last name, followed by a random number in the range 10 to 99. Assume that the name is at least five letters long. Similar algorithms are sometimes used to generate user names for new computer accounts. wwwarrow_forwardLab Activity: In python.arrow_forwardIn pythonarrow_forward
