The document provides instructions for completing four programming problems related to methods in Java. The problems involve creating methods for countdown, modifying an array of grades, generating acronyms from a string array, and validating a password based on specific criteria. Each problem includes examples and hints for implementation, along with a main class for testing the methods.

Computer Science questions and answers

complete the method named countdown (method stub provided) so that it accepts an int
countFrom as its parameter and prints each number from countFrom to 1 on a single line
separated by a space. This method should not return anything (void return type).

Hint: Use a loop and think about the starting value you want to print, the ending value that will
print, and how you want to update the value between iterations.

Example: countdown(5) should print: 5 4 3 2 1 Example2: countdown(-1) should not print


anything. Example3: countdown(9) should print: 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Ensure you are thoroughly calling and testing your methods before submitting to zyBooks.

Problem 2 - Arrays as Parameters

Complete the curve method (method stub provided for you) so that it loops through the int[]
grades, incrementing each non-zero grade by 2. Grades of 0 should not be changed. This method
should not print or return anything, but should modify the contents of the grades array.

Hint - you can test that your method works in main by printing the values in grades both before
and after this method is called.

Example: Passing in an int[] containing: {95, 80} should modify the array to {97,82} Example2:
Passing in a int[] containing: {70, 0, 99} should modify the array to {72, 0, 101}

Problem 3 - Returning Arrays, Arrays as Parameters, String methods

Write a method named acronyms that accepts an array of type String as its parameter and
returns an array of type char. This method stub is not provided for you. Method name, return
type, and parameter(s) should match exactly to receive credit. You should not use the keyword
static in the method header.

Your method should create a new char array the same size as the String array passed in. You
should then use a loop to populate the char array with the first letter of each individual String
stored in the array.

Hint - the charAt method in the String class retrieves a single char from a specified index.

Example: Passing in an String[] containing: {"tiger", "king"} should return a char[] of size 2
containing {'t', 'k'} Example2: Passing in an String[] containing: {"go dawgs", "uga", "java"}
should return a char[] of size 3 containing {'g', 'u', 'j'}
Problem 4 - Scanner in methods, String methods, Algorithm design, Return Statements

Write a method named setPassword that accepts a Scanner object as its parameter and returns a
boolean. This method stub is not provided for you. Method name, return type, and parameter(s)
should match exactly to receive credit. You should not use the keyword static in the method
header.

Your method should read in a String password using the nextLine method and the the Scanner
object passed in as the method parameter. Your method should then return either true or false
depending on if all criteria of a password is met.

A valid password (returning true) would have the following criteria:

 The password contains at least 8 characters


 The password contains at least 1 capital letter/char
 The password contains at least 1 lowercase letter/char

If ALL of the above conditions are met, your method should return true. If any of the above
conditions are NOT met, your method should return false.

Example: a user input of "Coding99" or "Java12345" would return true Example2: a user input
of "Java123" would return false //only 7 characters Example3: a user input of "JAVA12345"
would return false //no lowercase Example4: a user input of "java12345" would return false //no
uppercase
