Java Program for the above pattern:

[sourcecode language=”java”]

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MainClass

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

//Taking rows value from the user
System.out.println("How many rows you want in this pattern?");

int rows = sc.nextInt();

System.out.println("Here is your pattern….!!!");

for (int i = 1; i <= rows; i++)

{

public class DecimalToBinary {

public void toBinary(int number){
int binary[] = new int[25];
int n = 0;
// Convert Decimal to Binary

Simple Interest Example in Java

Starting a series of some Java programs as many students were asking to share the programs. Here is the first program of the series.

Objectives:

  • Write a Program that calculates and prints the simple interest using the formula : Simple Interest = PTR/100
  • How to calculate Simple Interest in Java?
  • Write a program to calculate Simple Interest in Java.
  • Write a Java program that calculates and prints the simple interest using the formula : “SimpleInterest = PTR/100” and input values P, T, R should be accepted as command line.
  • How to use Command Line Arguments in Java?
  • How to pass values from command line in Java?
  • How to take input in Java from console?

 

This particular program can be written in various ways, we will try to write the solution program in different ways here and one can try to understand the difference between them.

Method 1 :

[sourcecode lang=”java”]
import java.util.Scanner;

public class SimpleInterestExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {

int p,t,r, result;

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println(&quot;Enter the Value of P : &quot;);
p = sc.nextInt();

System.out.println(&quot;Enter the Value of T : &quot;);
t = sc.nextInt();

System.out.println(&quot;Enter the Value of R : &quot;);
r = sc.nextInt();

result = (p*t*r)/100;
System.out.println(&quot;Interest is : &quot; + result);
}
}
[/sourcecode]

This one is the simplest way to write the program to find simple interest in Java. Here we have simply created the object of Scanner class for taking input. Scanner class was introduced in Java 6. To use Scanner class we will have to import the class from java.util package.

Method 2:

Now we will write a Java program that calculates and prints the simple interest using the Scanner class again but with object oriented programming approach.

[sourcecode lang=”java”]
import java.util.Scanner;

public class SimpleInterestExample
{
double principalAmount = 0;
double interestRate = 0;
double term = 0;
double simpleInterest = 0;

public void calculateSimpleInterest()
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.print(&quot;Enter the Principal amount : &quot;);
principalAmount = input.nextDouble();

System.out.print(&quot;Enter the Rate As a decimal : &quot;);
interestRate = input.nextDouble();

System.out.print(&quot;Enter the amount of time in years : &quot;);
term = input.nextDouble();

simpleInterest = (principalAmount * interestRate * term) / 100;
}

public void displaySimpleInterest()
{
System.out.println(&quot;The Simple Interest is : &quot; + simpleInterest);
}
}
[/sourcecode]

Mock Test Program for above code so that we can test the code. keep both the classes in same package and run the Mock Test Program or MockTestProgram.java

[sourcecode lang=”java”]
public class MockTestProgram{

public static void main(String[]args);
{
SimpleInterestExample simpleInt = new SimpleInterestExample();
simpleInt.calculateSimpleInterest();
simpleInt.displaySimpleInterest();
}
}
[/sourcecode]

Method 3:

Now we will write a Java program that calculates and prints the simple interest using the formula : “SimpleInterest = PTR/100” and input values P, T, R should be accepted as command line.

[sourcecode lang=”java”]
import java.util.Scanner;

public class SimpleInterestExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {
double p,t,r, result;

p = Double.parseDouble(args[0]);
t = Double.parseDouble(args[1]);
r = Double.parseDouble(args[2]);

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println(&quot;Enter the Value of P : &quot;);
p = sc.nextDouble();

System.out.println(&quot;Enter the Value of T : &quot;);
t = sc.nextDouble();

System.out.println(&quot;Enter the Value of R : &quot;);
r = sc.nextDouble();

result = (p*t*r)/100;
System.out.println(&quot;Interest is : &quot; + result);
}
}
[/sourcecode]

 

I will be sharing more programs soon as many students were asking for programs which were carried out during Java training and were asked in assignments after Java training. By the time enjoy coding in Java and use NetBeans, it will ease your life.

How to set Path for Java

Dear Friends,

If you want to set the path for Java, there are two main types for setting system path for Java which are as follows;

  1. Temporary Path
  2. Permanent Path

For the above two types, the video describes the complete step by step procedure for setting path for Java :

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM4Qq3Ua7Sk]

Or you can go through this tutorial :

1. To check path is set or not :
a. Go to Start Menu
b. Go to Run
c. Type “cmd” without quotes to open Command prompt.
d. Get to the root directory say c:/>
e. To check whether the path is already set or not, on command prompt type “javac” without quotes & press enter/return. If the following message appears on the console screen then the path is not set.

f. But if the other message having length nearly equal to half a page then path is set.

2. Temporary Path :

To set the temporary path follow the steps given below;
a. Open Command Prompt.
b. If path is not set &  want to set it temporarily, assume the Java 1.6.0 is installed on your system, type following command on console screen :
And finally the path is set temporarily.
Note : This will work only for the current window, won’t work if you open another window.

3. Permanent Path :

To set the path permanently follow the steps given below;
a. Right Click on “My Computer Icon”.
b. Go to “Properties”.
c. Go to “Advanced” tab.
d. Click on “Environment Variables”.
e. Go to “System Variables”.
f. Find “Path” variable, select it & click “Edit”.
g. Small window will appear. Go to end by simply pressing “End” button & type following path with semicolon ( ; ) as prefix but without quotes;
    “;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\bin
h. Press “OK”, again “OK”, again “OK”.
And finally the path is set permanently.
i. To check whether the path is set or not simply refer details given above in the section 1.
