- A(n) __________ can have an uninitialized value passed into it, but it must be set to some value before the method it belongs to finishes executing. a. input parameter b. reference parameter c. output parameter d. default parameterarrow_forwardRetail StoreSuppose you have been consulted by a retail shop around your area to build a simple calculator. The calculator must be able to perform arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /) on integers. The program receives an expression from the user. The expression is structured as follows: integer input followed by an operator and another integer input from user prior to displaying the final result. Write a Java application that can perform the above expression. Create a method that takes two parameters and performs an arithmetic operation on the passed values. Your final output should consist of the expression and the result.arrow_forwardC# Create an application for a library and name itFineForOverdueBooks. TheMain() method asks the user to input the number of books checked out and the number of days they are overdue. Pass those values to a method named DisplayFine that displays the library fine, which is 10 cents per book per day for the first seven days a book is overdue, then 20 cents per book per day for each additional day. The library fine should be displayed in the following format: The fine for 2 book(s) for 3 day(s) is $0.60 The numbers will vary based on the input. My code is incorrect because its saying "Method DisplayFine displays fine isnt in correct format"arrow_forward

For example, the number 5 is prime because it can be evenly divided by only 1 and 5. The number 6, however, is not prime because it can be evenly divided by 1, 2, 3, and 6. Write a Boolean method named IsPrime that takes an integer as an argument and returns true if the argument is a prime number or false otherwise. Use the method in an application that lets the user enter a number and then displays a message indicating whether the number is prime.arrow_forwardQ2: Test Average and Grade Write a program that asks the user to enter five test scores. The program should display a letter grade for each score and the average test score. Write the following methods in the program: • calcAverage-This method should accept five test scores as arguments and return the average of the scores. • determine Grade-This method should accept a test score as an argument and return a letter grade for the score, based on the following grading scale: Letter Grade Score 90-100 80-89 70-79 60-69 Below 60 A B C D Farrow_forward

GradesGraphDemo (one method)- Main method only GradesGraph- Include at least 4 methods (No credits without at least 4 methods!!!) Create a class that represents the grade distribution for a given course. In this class you should write methods to perform the following tasks: Read the number of each of the letter grades A, B, C D and F Set the number of letter grades A, B, C, D and F Return the total number of grades Return the percentage of each letter grade as a whole number between 0 and 100 inclusive Draw a bar graph of the grade distributionThe graph should have five bars, one per grade. Each bar can be a horizontal row of asterisks, such that the number of asterisks in a row is proportionate to the percentage of grades in each category. For example, let on asterisk represent 2%, so 50 asterisks correspond to 100%. Mark the horizontal axis at 10% increments from 0 to 100% and label each line with a letter…arrow_forwardJava Programming Travel Tickets Company sells tickets for airlines, tours, and other travel-related services. Because ticket agents frequently mistype long ticket numbers, Travel Tickets has asked you to write an application that indicates invalid ticket number entries. The class prompts a ticket agent to enter a six-digit ticket number. Ticket numbers are designed so that if you drop the last digit of the number, then divide the number by 7, the remainder of the division will be identical to the last dropped digit. This process is illustrated in the following example: Step 1. Enter the ticket number; for example, 123454. Step 2. Remove the last digit, leaving 12345. Step 3. Determine the remainder when the ticket number is divided by 7. In this case, 12345 divided by 7 leaves a remainder of 4. Step 4. Assign the Boolean value of the comparison between the remainder and the digit dropped from the ticket number. Step 5. Display the result—true or false—in a message box. Accept the…arrow_forward
