##### Write a complete Java program, including comments in both the main program and in each method,...

Write a complete Java program, including comments in both the main program and in each method, which will do the following:

0. The main program starts by calling a method named introduction which prints out a description of what the program will do. This method is called just once.

This method is not sent any parameters, and it does not return a value. The method should print your name. Then it prints several lines of output explaining what the program does (it should also say how to end the set of data—see step 4).

1. Then the main program asks the user to type in an integer value which the main program calls n; n could be positive, negative, or zero (see step 4). The main program prints the number n after it is read in. Use a negative value to end.

2. The main program calls a method named isiteven, sending it the integer value n as a parameter. The method determines whether or not n is even, sending the answer back to main. (Hint: if n is even, the remainder when n is divided by 2 is 0; this works for all even numbers, including 0.) You may return an integer (like 0 or 1) to represent even or odd, or return a character (like ‘e’ or ‘o’), or a boolean.

The main program prints the answer returned together with a message. For example, if you send 6, the method determines it is even, and the main program prints that 6 is an even number.

3a. If n is even, the main program calls a method named sumEvenSquares, sending n to the method as a parameter. The method computes the sum of the first n even squares (see below). The method returns this sum to the main program. Then the main program prints a message giving n and the sum of the first n even squares.

For example, if you send 4, then the sum of the first 4 even squares is 2*2 + 4*4 + 6*6 + 8*8 = 4+16+36+64 = 120.

Note the method computes the sum of the first n even squares- this will be: 2*2 + 4*4 + 6*6 + ... + (2n)*(2n), where n is the parameter value sent to the method. DO NOT use any other formula for calculating this value; use the sum of series.

b. However, if n is odd, the main program calls a method named sumOddNumbers, sending it n. The method computes the sum of the first n odd numbers (NOT n odd squares - see below). The method returns this sum to the main program. Then the main program prints a message giving n and the sum of the first n odd numbers.

For example, if you send 3, then the sum of the first 3 odd numbers is 1 + 3 + 5 = 9. For n=5, it is 1+3+5+7+9 = 25, etc. (Although this value will be equal to n squared, calculate it as a series; don’t just find n squared.)

Note the method computes the sum of the first n odd numbers- this will be: 1 + 3 + 5 + ... + (2n-1), where n is the parameter value sent to the method.

In either case, the main program calls one of two methods to compute a sum of terms, then prints the method's answer.

4. After calling a method to compute the appropriate sum and printing the result, the main program will skip a few lines and go back to step 1 (not step 0).   At step 1, if the user types in a negative value, the program will go to step 5.

5. At the end, print how many data values were entered and processed. (Make sure that this number is at least 8.)

DATA: Type in a total of at least 8 data values. Have at least four even numbers (make sure 0 is one of the even numbers) and four odd numbers; intersperse the values: odd, then 2 evens, then odd, etc. Have one value of each type that is between 10 and 20 (and the rest smaller).

You will be judged on the quality of your data.

STYLE: Be sure that each method has a good comment explaining two things: exactly what parameter(s) the method will receive, and exactly what the method will do (and if it returns an answer or prints). Mention parameters by name in the comment.

OUTPUT: Send output to an external file. You will need to pass it as a parameter.

Here is some sample output (ignoring the introduction):

the original integer is 5

5 is an odd number

the sum of the first 5 odd numbers is 25

the original integer is 4

4 is an even number

the sum of the first 4 even numbers is 120

OPTIONAL: If the user enters a negative value, say this is no good, ask the user to type in a new value that is good (greater than or equal to 0). The program continues until the user enters a special value (not just any negative value) that signals the end.

The son, Seif, is born with sickle cell anemia. This means both parents carry the allele for sickle cell anemia.

The father, Ahmad has a heterozygous genotype as told by the doctor.

The mother can also be proved heterozygous for the trait since her mother was anemic. This means one of the affected alleles was inherited from the mother.

So, the genotypes of Ahmad is Ss and that of Amina is Ss.

Gametes formed by Ahmad are S and s.

Gametes formed by Amina are S and s.

A study compared three display panels used by air traffic controllers. Each display panel was tested for four different simulated emergency conditions. Twenty-four highly trained air traffic controllers were used in the study. Two controllers were randomly assigned to each display panel-emergency condition combination. The time (in seconds) required to stabilize the emergency condition was recorded. The following table gives the resulting data and the MINITAB output of a two-way ANOVA of the data.
