The answers in this section should consist of the programs in either BlueJ environment or any program environment with java as the base. Each program should be written using variable description / mnemonic codes so that the logic of the program is clearly depicted. Flowcharts and algorithms are not required. Buffered Reader / Data Input Stream should not be used in the programs.
