Question

Here is the signature of a method computeArea(float side). Thebody of this method ( the part within the curly braces) iscurrently empty.             pubblic voidcomputeArea(float side)         {          } Complete the body of this method by writing inside the curlybraces the code corresponding to the following requirements: - Define a variable called area - Compute the area of the square on the basis of the providedside and assign this value to variable area. - Test if the area of the square is bigger than 100;print "This is a big square" if it is the case, and print "This isa small square" otherwise. - Rewrite the method so that it returns a Boolean value Trueif the area of the square is bigger than 100 and Falseotherwise. please give separatly the answer related to the requirements,so that i can see your steps. Thanks Here is the signature of a method computeArea(float side).

Explanation / Answer

public void computeArea(float side)
{
   float area; //declaration of variable area
   area = (side * side);    //calculationof the area of the square
  
   if( area >100) ///compares whether area isbigger than 100
   {
     System.out.println("This is a bigsquare"); //prints This is a big square
   }
   else
   {
       System.out.println("This is asmall square"); //prints This is a small square
    }
}//end of method



Method rewritten such that it returns true if area isbigger than 100 else it returns false ..(themodification from the previous method are highlighted):

public boolean computeArea(float side)
{
   float area; //declaration of variable area
   area = (side * side);    //calculationof the area of the square
  
   if( area >100) ///compares whether area isbigger than 100
   {
     return true;
   }
   else
   {
       returnfalse;
    }
return false;
}//end of method

public boolean computeArea(float side)
{
   float area; //declaration of variable area
   area = (side * side);    //calculationof the area of the square
  
   if( area >100) ///compares whether area isbigger than 100
   {
     return true;
   }
   else
   {
       returnfalse;
    }
return false;
}//end of method
