22. Define a generic method which takes as parameters (1) a reference to an object of a generic type and (2) an array of references to that generic type. Your method must loop through the array, and for the first reference in the array which is null, assign that reference to point to the same object as the reference parameter, then return. The method should have void as its return type.

A method called linearSearch(), which takes as parameters an array of int followed by three values of type int, and returns a value of type int. The first int parameter represents a key, the second int parameter represents a starting position, and the third int parameter represents an end position. If the key occurs in the array between the start position (inclusive) and the end position (exclusive), the method returns the position of the first occurrence of the key in...
Write a generic method gReplace() that takes a 2D array of generic elements and two scalars of the same type as the array elements. The function must replace all occurrences of the first scalar with the second one. (scalar: given int x, x is a scalar of type int) with java
java Write a generic method that takes an ArrayList of objects (of a valid concrete object type) and returns a new ArrayList containing no duplicate elements from the original ArrayList. The method signature is as follows: public static ArrayList UniqueObjects(ArrayList list) Test the method with at least 2 array lists of different concrete object types. Label your outputs properly and show the array lists content before and after calling method UniqueObjects

1. Create a UML diagram to help design the class described in Q2 below. Do this exercise before you attempt to code the solution. Think about what instance variables will be required to describe a Person class object; should they be private or public? Determine what class methods are required; should they be private or public?2. Write Java code for a Person class. A Person has a name of type String and an age of type integer.Supply two constructors: one will be...
JAVA Write a static method that takes an array of a generic type as its only argument. The method should display the array and return the number of elements in the array. Test the method in main with at least three arrays of objects. SAMPLE OUTPUT Here is an Integer array 12 21 7 16 8 13 That array held 6 elements Here is a String array one two three four That array held 4 elements Here is a Double...
1.Write code for a Java method, printArray, that takes an int array as parameter and prints it out, one element per line. public static void printArray (int[] values){ Methods that do NOT return a result have “void” as return type. Notice how an array parameter type is passed, int [] }// end printArray 2.Write code for a Java method that takes in as input parameter an integer number, say num, and returns a double array of size num with all...

Implement the following methods. 1.1 Method name: readStudentNames Purpose: This method accepts an array of strings as a parameter. It loops through the array and asks the user to input names. It populates the array of strings with the names. Parameters: an array of Strings, stringArray Return type: void In the...
Homework Question Write a void function called transformArray that takes two parameters - a reference to a pointer to a dynamically allocated array of ints, and the size of that array. The pointer is passed by referencebecause you want to change the value of the pointer. The function should dynamically allocate an array that is twice as long, filled with the values from the original array followed by each of those values times 2. For example, if the array that was...
