Introduction to Programming with Java

Question One: [10 marks]

a. Write a Java class (program) that reads from the user a real number represents the length of the

hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. Then calculates and prints the area of this triangle (rounded to 2

decimal places). [9 marks] Hint: You can search the internet to discover how to calculate the area of an

isosceles right triangle when you only know the length of its hypotenuse.

b. Give the exact output of your program. Provide a snapshot representing the exact output of any value from

your choice. [1 mark]

Question Two: [24 marks]

a. For any quadratic equation: , there are zero, one or two real solutions. Write a Java application that

reads from the user 3 integers represent the values of the coefficients of a quadratic equation (a, b and c).

Then computes and prints how many real solutions for the given equation. In addition, if the user enters 0 as

the value of a, a suitable error message should be displayed and nothing should be computed. [20 marks]

Hints:

ï‚· It is not required to compute the real solutions. Just compute number of them.

ï‚· You can search the internet to discover when a quadratic equation has zero, one or two real solutions.

b. Give the exact output of your application. Give 4 snapshots representing the exact output of 4 different

cases (i.e., when the number of real solutions is 0, 1, 2 and when the user enters 0 as the value of a). [4

marks]

3

Question Three: [21 marks]

a. Assume that a tutor created a 5-mark quiz for his students and he wants to know the mode of students’

scores in the quiz. Write a Java program that reads from the user 6 lines of input. Each line includes 2

integers: a score and number of students who got this score. The program should compute and print the mode of

students’ scores (You can assume that there is always a unique answer) [19 marks]

b. Give the exact output of your program. Provide a snapshot representing the exact output of any values from

your choice. [2 marks]

Hints:

ï‚· You can search the internet to discover how to compute the mode.

ï‚· The input and output of your program should be exactly as in the sample below

Sample Input and Output: Please, insert the scores and the frequency of each score: 0 1 1 0 (This line means

that no student got 1 out of 5) 2 6 3 9 4 7 (This line means that 7 students got 4 out of 5) 5 4 The mode of

students’ scores is 3

Question Four: [25 marks]

a. Write a Java program that read your first name and the first names of your friends. Then the program

should compute and prints the percentage of your friends whose first names start with the same letter as your

first name (rounded to 2 decimal places). Enter the word “stop†to stop the program. [24 marks]

b. Give the exact output of your program. Provide a snapshot representing the exact output of any values from

your choice. [1 marks]

Hint:

The input and output of your program should be exactly as in the sample below

Sample Input and Output: Please, insert your first name: Ahmad Please, insert the first names of your friends

(enter “stop†to stop your program): Hisham Ali Nader stop 33.33% of your friends their first names start

with the same letter as your first name

Explanation: There are 3 friends, 1 of them his first name starts with the same letter as your first name. 1

out of 3 represents 33.33% of your friends ( ).

Health Insurance Costs Versus Privacy

Computers by Design (CBD) is a small computer systems sales and service business located in the Midwest. The owners of CBD, Abigail, Megan, and Andy, are concerned about rising health care insurance costs. Abigail has researched the issue, and has learned that CBD can better control insurance costs by only hiring people who are less likely to make claims—the healthy, the fit, and the nonaddicted. She has proposed to the other owners a two-step program.

First, CBD would conduct preemployment health screenings, including voluntary genetic testing. It would not hire anyone who smokes or uses drugs, has any genetically linked propensity for an expensive disease, or is not physically fit.

The second step would be to give every employee a 12-month notice to stop using tobacco and nonprescription drugs and to submit to random, monthly testing. Employees would also be placed on a fitness and weight control plan. Professional assistance would be available at no cost to help them stop using tobacco and drugs and to help them meet weight and fitness targets. Employees who meet the goals would be allowed to stay with CBD. Those who refuse would be given a severance package and discharged.

Post a 750-word response that answers the following questions:

What are the legal issues involved here? Which of the measures proposed by Abigail are legal, and which are not? Explain the legal issues involved and reference specific pages from your readings to support your conclusions.

To what extent is an industry you are familiar with unionized and engaged in collective bargaining? Is the industry comprised of nonunion employees, unionized and nonunionized employees, or unionized employees?

Be sure to incorporate both legal principles and relevant labor economics facts in your response. Provide references as appropriate.
