Question
Chapter 5.4, Problem 5.14CP
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.

BEGIN
CREATE treat ← 26
SWITCH candy
CASE “Tootsie Roll”: treat ++
CASE “Candy Corn”: treat += 2
BREAK
CASE “Twizzlers”: treat -= 2
CASE “Dots”: treat --

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…

- Your code should support the following: By default, the car's wheels should start with a pressure of 30. Every time the car drives the wheel pressure should drop by 5. The fillTires method should fill the wheels back to a pressure of 30. The Wheel class should not allow the pressure to go below 0. Any an attempt to set the pressure to a negative value should set the pressure to 0 instead. The toString methods should be written so they match the expected output of the provide Main class. The output produced by the Main class should be: Car (FR: Pressure = 30, FL: Pressure = 30, BR: Pressure = 30, BL: Pressure = 30) Car (FR: Pressure = 20, FL: Pressure = 20, BR: Pressure = 20, BL: Pressure = 20) Car (FR: Pressure = 30, FL: Pressure = 30, BR: Pressure = 30, BL: Pressure = 30) Car (FR: Pressure = 15, FL: Pressure = 15, BR: Pressure = 15, BL: Pressure = 15) Car (FR: Pressure = 30, FL: Pressure = 30, BR: Pressure = 30, BL: Pressure = 30) Car (FR: Pressure = 0, FL: Pressure = 0, BR:…arrow_forwardc# uppose there is a method called Current Deposit is your project class.

- When used as part of a method call parameter, what does the word "out" indicate?arrow_forwardThis 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.
