Question

rite a method with the following header:

public static void showGradeDistribution(int a, int b, int c, int d,

int f)

It should print a graph (using asterisks) for each of the letters entered in the reverse order of the

parameter list and with a label. In addition, if A and B grades sum is equal or exceeds that of grades C

and D and F, the message “Strong class!” should be displayed. For example a method call of:

showGradeDistribution(5,7,4,4,3);

Would print:

A: *****

B: *******

C: ****

D: ****

F: ***

Strong clas

Answer 1

public class GradeGraph {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                showGradeDistribution(5, 7, 4, 4, 3); //supply values for grades
        }
//function that takes grades as parameters
        public static void showGradeDistribution(int a, int b, int c, int d, int f) //function that takes grades as parameters
        {
                System.out.print("A: "); //print asterisks for A grade
                for(int i = 0; i<a; i++) //loop until a
                {
                        System.out.print('*'); //print asterisk for number of times A is received
                }
                System.out.println();
                System.out.print("B: "); //print asterisks for B grade
                for(int i = 0; i<b; i++)
                {
                        System.out.print('*');
                }
                System.out.println();
                System.out.print("C: "); //print asterisks for C grade
                for(int i = 0; i<c; i++)
                {
                        System.out.print('*');
                }
                System.out.println();
                System.out.print("D: "); //print asterisks for D grade
                for(int i = 0; i<d; i++)
                {
                        System.out.print('*');
                }
                System.out.println();
                System.out.print("F: "); //print asterisks for F grade
                for(int i = 0; i<f; i++)
                {
                        System.out.print('*');
                }
                System.out.println();
                if((a+b)>=(c+d+f)) //as per question if sum of a and b is >= sum of c d and f
                {
                        System.out.println("Strong class!"); //print strong class
                }
        }
}

OUTPUT OF THE PROGRAM ON INPUT: showGradeDistribution(5,7,4,4,3);

OUTPUT OF THE PROGRAM ON INPUT: showGradeDistribution(2,7,4,4,3);

Notice here strong class is missing.

Thanks and please do not forget to leave a thuumbs up :)
