Question
Chapter 5.4, Problem 5.13CP
Program Plan Intro
Methods:
A collection of statements which are formed together to perform an operation is called as methods.
- The main advantage of using method is reusability of code and reduces the size of the program, because a method can be called for multiple numbers of times.
Method header:
The method header is the part of the method definition which holds the modifier, return type of the method, method name and the parameter list.
public static double findArea(double a, double b)
In the above example, the method “findArea()” holds the return type double and the parameters “a” and “b” and should not have a semicolon at the end.

Only variable definition/initialization can be done outside of a method. Everything else
should be inside a method.
true or false
a) Write a boolean method called productDivisibleByThree that returns true if the product of the digits of
its integer parameter is divisible by 3 and false otherwise. For example, if the value passed to the method
is 23 then the product of its digits is 6 (2*3). The method should retum true since 6 is divisible by 3.
b) Write a main method that calls the method productDivisibleByThree for the values between 10 and 50
inclusive 10 per line. This should output the following numbers:
10 13 16 19 20 23 26 29 30 31
Using java

T/F
2. Formal parameters are those that appear in the method call and actual parameters are those that appear in the method header.

- This C# program assignment requires that you write and call two programmer defined methods as described below: Method #1 (MyAddress) – this programmer defined method should output your name and address in a mailing label format. This method does not require any parameters, and will not return any value. Method #2 (AddressOut) – this programmer defined method should have three string parameters (name, address, and city‐state‐zip) and should output the passed parameters in mailing label format. This method will not return any value. Your Main() method for this program should consist of two lines of code – calls to each of the methods. Here is an example of the code in my Main() method MyAddress(); AddressOut(“Tim Jones”, “123 Main St.”, “East Brunswick, NJ 08816”);arrow_forwarda) Write a boolean method called sumDivisibleByFive that returns true if the sum of the digits of its integer parameter is divisible by 5 and false otherwise. For example, if the parameter passed to the method is 73 then the sum of its digits is 10 (7+3). The method should return true since 10 is divisible by 5. b) Write a main method that calls the method sumDivisibleByFive for the values between 10 and 100 inclusive 10 per line.

- In this exercise you will use if and else statements to write some code that simulates a gambler who makes various wagers. As part of your solution, you will use the following parameters that are passed in to the method:A double variable with the identifier money that indicates how much money the gambler has.A double variable with the identifier wager that indicates how much money is being wagered in a particular bet.A Boolean variable with the identifier outcome that indicates if the gambler wins (true) or loses (false)1) In some cases the gambler is unable to fix the outcome of the wager ahead of time and must rely on luck.Use an if statement to check if outcome has a value (whether or not it is null)If it does not have a value, you will need to assign it one by instantiating a Random object and using one of its methods.2) Use an if/else statement to determine if the gambler has won the wager (outcome is true) If the gambler has won the wager, add the wager to amount of money the…arrow_forward2please write in C#arrow_forwardThe weather generator methods you will be writing for this assignment will: predict future precipitation pattern for one month: oneMonthGenerator find the number of wet or dry days in a given month’s forecast: numberOfWetDryDays find the longest wet or dry spell in a given month’s forecast: lengthOfLongestWetDrySpellarrow_forward
