Question

Please complete the following programming with clear explanations. Thanks!

Homework 1 – Programming with Java:

What This Assignment Is About?

Classes (methods and attributes) •

Objects

Arrays of Primitive Values

Arrays of Objects

Recursion

for and if Statements

Selection Sort   

Use the following Guidelines:

Give identifiers semantic meaning and make them easy to read (examples numStudents, grossPay, etc.)

Use upper case for constants. • Use title case (first letter is upper case) for classes.

Use lower case with uppercase word separators for all other identifiers (variables, methods, objects).

Use tabs or spaces to indent code within blocks (code surrounded by braces).

This includes classes, methods, and code associated with if, switch and loop statements. Be consistent with the number of spaces or tabs that you use to indent.

Use white space to make your program more readable.

For each file (class) in your assignment, provide a heading (in comments) which includes:
A description of what this program is doing.


3. Part 1. Primitive Types, Searching, Recursion

a) Create a class Homework (in a file Homework.java)

b) Create a static method initializeArray that receives as a parameter an array of characters. Use a for loop and an if statement to put ‘b’ in the odd positions of the array and ‘a’ in the even positions.

c) Create a static method printArray that receives as a parameter an array of
characters. Use a for statements to print all the elements in the array.

d) Create a static method selectionSort that receives as a parameter an array of characters and order its elements in ascending order. Implement Selection Sort algorithm. It should be Selection Sort, not Bubble Sort, not Quick Sort, etc. If you do not remember selection sort, this link could be useful: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/java-program-forselection-sort/

e) Create a static recursive method named factorial that calculate and returns the factorial of a number. The method receives a number (integer number) as parameter.

f) Copy the following main method in your class, again the main method,

public class Homework {

public static void main (String [] arg) {

char [] a = {'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'x', 'y', '1', '2', '3', '4'};

char [] b = {'p', 'q', '9', '8' ,'7', '6'};

int [] c = {6, 0, 1};

// Testing initializeArray

printArray(a);

initializeArray(a);

printArray(a);

// Testing selectionSort

printArray(b);

selectionSort (b);

printArray(b);

// Testing factorial

System.out.println ( factorial (5) );

System.out.println ( factorial (c[0] );

System.out.println ( factorial (c[2] );

}

}

Answer 1

Note: Could you plz go through this code and let me know if u need any changes in this.Thank You
=================================

// Homework.java

public class Homework {

   public static void main(String[] arg) {

       char[] a = { 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'x', 'y', '1', '2', '3', '4' };

       char[] b = { 'p', 'q', '9', '8', '7', '6' };

       int[] c = { 6, 0, 1 };

       // Testing initializeArray

       printArray(a);

       initializeArray(a);

       printArray(a);

       // Testing selectionSort

       printArray(b);

       selectionSort(b);

       printArray(b);

       // Testing factorial

       System.out.println(factorial(5));

       System.out.println(factorial(c[0]));

       System.out.println(factorial(c[2]));

   }

   private static int factorial(int num) {
       int res = 0;

       if (num == 0) {
           res = 1;
       } else if (num == 1) {
           res = 1;
       } else if (num > 1) {

           if (num - 1 == 1) {

           }

           res = num * factorial(num - 1);
       }
       return res;

   }

   private static void selectionSort(char[] b) {
       int minIndex;
       char temp;
       int SIZE = b.length;
       for (int i = 0; i < SIZE - 1; i++) {
           minIndex = i;
           for (int j = i + 1; j < SIZE; j++) {
               if (b[j] < b[minIndex])
                   minIndex = j;
           }
           // swap array
           if (minIndex != i) {
               temp = b[i];
               b[i] = b[minIndex];
               b[minIndex] = temp;
           }
       }

   }

   private static void initializeArray(char[] a) {
       for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
           if ((i + 1) % 2 == 0) {
               a[i] = 'b';
           } else {
               a[i] = 'a';
           }
       }

   }

   private static void printArray(char[] a) {
       for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
           System.out.print(a[i] + " ");
       }
       System.out.println();

   }

}

============================

output;

a b c d x y 1 2 3 4
a b a b a b a b a b
p q 9 8 7 6
6 7 8 9 p q
