Homework #13


Due: Friday 12/6 at the beginning of class

0. Preparatory Reading: You will benefit from reviewing the portions of Java we've covered in the CS 111 Java Summary.

1. Divisors:  In a class Divisors.java, read in a maximum integer n and use nested loops to print a list of divisors for each of 1 through n as follows.

Example Transcript (input underlined):

Largest integer? 100
1: 1 
2: 1 2 
3: 1 3 
4: 1 2 4 
 
...
 
95: 1 5 19 95 
96: 1 2 3 4 6 8 12 16 24 32 48 96 
97: 1 97 
98: 1 2 7 14 49 98 
99: 1 3 9 11 33 99 
100: 1 2 4 5 10 20 25 50 100 

2. Greatest Common Divisor:  In a class GCD.java, read in two integers a and b.  Compute and print their greatest common divisor (GCD) using the Euclidean algorithm.   The Euclidean algorithm is simply described as follow:  While b is nonzero,  set a' to b and set b' to (a modulus b), where a' and b' are the new values of a and b for the next iteration.  Hint: One can accomplish this using only three variables: a, b, and one temporary variable for storage.  Your output should have the following format.

Example Transcript (input underlined):

Integer a? 504
Integer b? 2226
Greatest common divisor of a and b: 42

3. Magic Square:  Create a class MagicSquare that prompts the user for a positive odd integer size, generates a normal magic square of order size, and prints it with numbers right-justified and aligned in evenly-spaced columns. You may assume the numbers in the square are 3 digits or less (i.e. size ≤ 31).

To generate the magic square, use the following algorithm:  Assign 1 to our initial current position: the bottom row, middle column.  Place each successive value (up to size * size) in the first of the following positions that is unoccupied: (1) one space down and to the right, or (2) one space up.  Positions wrap around the sides, top and bottom, as shown below in the following three example transcripts.
