Chapter 42 Programming Exercises


Exercise 1 --- Log Table

Modify the program that prints out a table of x and ln(x) so that the table is formatted using HTML. Do this by first printing:

<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr><th>x</th><th>ln(x)</th></tr>

Next, for each iteration of the loop, calculate x and logx and print the line:

System.out.println("<tr><td>" + x + "</td><td>" + logx + "</td></tr>" );

Finally, print:

</table>
</body>
</html>

Run your program and redirect the output to a disk file (see Chapter 21).

C:\>java LogTable > myLogs.html

You should now be able to view your output file with a Web browser. (Find it in your subdirectory and double click on it, or use "File/Open" in your browser's menu.)

Exercise 2 --- Cosine Applet

Add to the sineWave applet so that it graphs the sine function in red and the cosine function in blue, both in the same drawing area.

Exercise 3 --- Improved Graphics

Add to the sineWave applet so that it draws the x and y axis. Also, draw "tick" marks along the x axis at PI/4, PI/2, 3*PI/4, and 2*PI. Draw axes and tick marks in black. Draw the sine in red.
