Chapter 7, Problem 54E
Program Plan Intro

a.

Top-down design process:

  • In the top-down design process, the problem is placed on top of the layer.
  • In each succeeding level, it is divided into small problems and is further divided into smaller problems in its sub layer.
  • In this method, the problem is systematically broken into small problems, which create it more convenient.
  • It is complicated to resolve big problems as compared to smaller problems.

Explanation of Solution

b.

Top-down design for calculating the average of an unknown number of test scores:

  • Assign value to the given variables.
  • Performs iteration for n times.
    • Get the input.
    • Compute the sum of test scores for n scores.
    • Increment the value of counter.
  • Finally, determine the average of test scores.

Example:

The example code for calculating average of unknown number of scores is given below:

//Initialize count to 0

Set count to 0

//Initialize total to 0

Set total to 0      

//Performs iteration for n times

WHILE (number of scores)

   ;&#...

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…
