Assignment 4:
Objective:
Problem Description:

1. Explain how the intern() method in java.lang.String can improve runtime performance
of a program.
Hint: see API documentation for String class, especially method intern()
Assumptions:
Questions to answer:
Estimated time: 10 mins

Assignment 5:
Objective:
Problem Description:

In some languages the operators "&&" (and) and "||" (or) are short circuited. That is
once the result of a boolean expression of &&s and ||s is known, the remainder of the
boolean expression will not be evaluated. For example in (( x > x ) && ( z == y) ) the
expression (z ==y) will not be evaluated. Write a Java method that will test if boolean
expressions in Java are short circuited. Explain how your program will determine if
boolean expressions are short circuited.
Assumptions:
Questions to answer:
Estimated time: 15 mins

Assignment 6:
Objective:
Problem Description:

In both parts of the problem do not perform any IO in the methods. Provide output to
show that your program runs.
a) Write a Java method that has a float parameter and returns the float
converted to a string.

Estimated time: 30 mins

Assignment 8:
Objective:
Problem Description:

2. Write a Java program to count the number of 1 bit in a binary string which was
gotten from a given int number. For example:

Give an int number 0, we got a binary 0, then result will be 0.

Give an int number 7, we got a binary 111, then result will be 3.

Give an int number 8, we got a binary 1000, then result will be 1.

Give an int number 10, we got a binary 1010, then result will be 2.
