Using quicksort to sort an array of car objects by various criteria.
Define a class Car as follows:
class Car {
public String make;
public String model;
public int mpg; // Miles per gallon
}
c) Implement a comparator called CompareCarsByMakeThenDescendingMPG that can
be passed as an argument to the quicksort method from the lecture notes.
CompareCarsByMakeThenDescendingMPG should return a value that will cause quicksort
to sort an array of cars in ascending order by make and, when two cars have the same make, in
descending order by mpg.
Provide a different implementation of ChoiceQuestion. Instead of storing the choices in an array list, the addChoice method should add the choice to the question text. For this purpose, an addLine method has been added to the Question class.
/** A question with multiple choices.*/public class ChoiceQuestion extends Question{ // Add any needed instance variables, but don't store the choices // The choices should be added to the text of the superclass /* code goes here */ /** Constructs a choice question with a given text and no choices. @param questionText the text of this question */ public ChoiceQuestion(String questionText) { /code goes here */ }
/** Adds an answer choice to this question. @param choice the choice to add @param correct true if this is the correct choice, false otherwise */ public void addChoice(String choice, boolean correct) { /* code goes here */ }
}
1.A) The median of a set of integers is the middle-most
integer in size. That is, half the integers in the set are
less than or equal to the median, and half the integers
are greater than or equal to the median. For example,
the median of {99, 1, 10, 6, 2} is 6 since 1 and 2 are
smaller than 6 and 10 and 99 are larger than 6.
Implement a method median( ) with no parameters that
finds and returns the median of the integers in a data
array. Use this keyword in
meaningfully.
Assume that the data array is an instance variable of
Data class. Write a parameterized constructor to
allocate and assign values to data array. Assume that
the array has odd length. Write main () in a separate
class
constructor
to
use
the Data class.

- Exercise (Section 30/40): Implement a superclass Appointment and subclasses Onetime, Daily, and Monthly. An appointment has a description (for example, "see the dentist") and a date. Write a method occursOn(int year, int month, int day) that checks whether the appointment occurs on that date. For example, for a monthly appointment, you must check whether the day of the month matches. Then fill an array of Appointment objects with a mixture of appointments. Have the user enter a date and print out all appointments that occur on that date. Give the user the option to add new appointments. The user must specify the type of the appointment, the description, and the date.arrow_forwardWrite the definitions of the member functions of the classes arrayListType and unorderedArrayListType that are not given in this chapter.

Add to your Animal class: Member: name Methods: Public Animal(String name) //constructor public void makesSound()with the implementation printing out a generic animal sound. Next, override (add) the makesSound()method to your Cat and Dog class, with the implementation specific to each animal (i.e, cat says purr..). Do not override the makesSound() for your Dragon (bearded dragons don’t make sounds!)Note, you’ll also need a constructor in each of your subclasses which calls super(name) to initialize the common ‘name’ member of Animal. --- Next (in your test harness) create a List of different Animals ( a couple cats, a dog, a dragon... ) and add these Animals to your list.
