Explanation of Solution

ASCII characters:

In a computer system, characters can be represented using standard numeric codes. The most commonly used standard is referred as “American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII)”.

  • ASCII is primarily based on the English alphabet for character encoding.
  • It uses 128 unique characters; and seven bits to represent each character in the set. Check bit is used as the eighth bit to ensure proper data transmission.
  • Extended ASCII character version includes the eighth bit and allows 256 unique characters, which includes some additional symbols and some accented letters.
  • ASCII has a finite number of characters; so it lists them all and assigns binary string value to each one of them.
  • However, some problems need to be addressed, such as, in English language, there are 26 letters, and ASCII considers uppercase, lowercase letters separately, and assigns a value for each of the 52 characters.
  • ASCII character set as well as Unicode character set treats uppercase and lowercase letters distinctly.

Binary code:

The digital data can be symbolized, stored and communicated as a set of binary bits. This set is referred as binary code.

  • The letters, special characters or digits are represented using the binary digits “0” and “1” in a computer device or other electronic devices...

Methods (Ch6) - Review 1. (The MyRoot method) Below is a manual implementation of the Math.sqrt() method in Java. There are two methods, method #1 which calculates the square root for positive integers, and method #2, which calculates the square root of positive doubles (also works for integers). public class SquareRoot { public static void main(String[] args) { } // implement a loop of your choice here // Method that calculates the square root of integer variables public static double myRoot(int number) { double root; root=number/2; double root old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; } while (Math.abs(root_old-root)>1.8E-6); return root; } // Method that calculates the square root of double variables public static double myRoot(double number) { double root; root number/2; double root_old; do { root old root; root (root_old+number/root_old)/2; while (Math.abs (root_old-root)>1.0E-6); return root; } } Program-it-Yourself: In the main method, create a program that…
