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.

Given the code below, write a method call for the method (assume that each parameter is a String).  Then determine that method’s output given the arguments that you pass. METHOD trickOrTreat (parameters:  candy) BEGIN CREATE treat ← 26 SWITCH candy                                 CASE “Tootsie Roll”:  treat ++                                 CASE “Candy Corn”:  treat += 2                                 BREAK                                 CASE “Twizzlers”:  treat -= 2                                 CASE “Dots”: treat --                                 CASE “Kit Kat”: treat *= 2                              END SWITCH                                 RETURN treat END METHOD Method Call       Exact Output
Question 1  Full explain this question
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…
