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)

   ;&#...

Please answer JAVA OOP problem below: You are working at a university that tracks students. Each student is identified by their name and faculty advisor. Each faculty advisor is identified by their name, department, and maximum number of students they can advise. Using solid OO design principles, create a modular program that implements all the classes for the problem and also creates an implementation class that gathers user input for one student and then prints out the information gathered by creating the appropriate data definition and implementation classes. All data must be validated.    I have given the code so far: Implementation: import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class Implementation {     public static void main(String[] args) {         FacultyAdvisor facultyAdvisor = new FacultyAdvisor("Sharmin Sultana", "IT", 30);         Student student = new Student("John", facultyAdvisor);         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, student.toString());     } }   Student: public…
