(2pts ) 36. Write a Java function that converts a Fahrenheit temperature to a Celsius temperature
using the following equation:
2 pts
5.0
Celsius = ∗ (Fahrenheit − 32.0)
9.0
Your function should be called public static double temperature(double fahrenheit),
which takes in a single parameter, fahrenheit. The function should return a double which
is the Celsius conversion of fahrenheit.
• The output of your program should be 30.0 if the following statements are executed:
double result = temperature(86.0);
System.out.println(result);

(2pts ) 37. Write a Java function that computes the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle by using
the Pythagorean theorem: p 2 pts
c = a2 + b2
Your function should be called public static double pythagoras(double a, double
b), which takes in two parameters, a and b. The function should return a double which is
the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Hint: You may need to use the Math functions
pow() and sqrt().
• The output of your program should be 5.4671747731346585 if the following state-
ments are executed:
double result = pythagoras(3.5, 4.2);
System.out.println(result);

(4pts ) 38. In this question, you will write a Java function that generates the Hailstone sequence of
integers. This is a sequence of numbers that goes up and down repeatedly, but eventually
4 pts
the sequence comes down to end in one. The algorithm for the Hailstone sequence can be
expressed as follows:
• Pick some positive integer and call it num.
• If num is even, divide it by two.
• If num is odd, multiply it by three and add one.
• Print out this new value of num.
• Continue this process until num is equal to one.
Write a Java function that takes in a starting value num as a parameter, and generates the
Hailstone sequence from that value. Your function should be called:
public static void hailstone(int num)
Note that this function does not return a value. Instead, you must use: System.out.println()
to display your values as they are being generated.
• If the following statement is executed:
hailstone(5);
Then the output of your program should be:
16
8

(4pts ) 39. In this question, you will write a Java function that performs the multiplication operation,
but with a technique that the Ancient Egyptians used. The algorithm for Ancient Egyptian
4 pts
Multiplication can be expressed as follows. Assume that grow and shrink are the numbers
to be multiplied together:
• Create an integer variable called product to hold the solution.
• Check to see if shrink is an odd number.
• If shrink is odd, then add the number grow to the variable product.
• Multiply the number grow by 2.
• Divide the number shrink by 2(Note: Use integer division).
• Continue until the number shrink becomes zero.
Write a Java function that takes in two integer values, grow and shrink, as parameters, and
calculates their multiplicative product using the Ancient Egyptian Multiplication algorithm.
Your function should be called:
public static int multiply(int grow, int shrink)
Note that this function returns an integer value.
• If the following statements are executed:
int result = multiply(23, 58);
System.out.println(result);
Then the output of your program should be: 1334

(4pts ) 40. Pig Latin is a type of slang language that is easy to learn and understand. An English word
can be translated into Pig Latin by following these two simple rules:
4 pts
• If the English word begins with a vowel, then the corresponding Pig Latin word is gen-
erated by appending the letters "hay" to the end of the word. For example, "orange"
becomes "orangehay".
• If the English word begins with a consonant, then the corresponding Pig Latin word is
generated by moving the first letter to the end of the word, then appending the letters
"ay". For example, "peach" becomes "eachpay".
Write a Java function that takes in an English word as a parameter, and translates that word
to Pig Latin. Your function should be called public static String pigLatin(String
word), which takes in a single parameter, word. The function should return a String which
is the Pig Latin translation of word.
• The output of your program should be orangehay if the following statements are
executed:
String result = pigLatin("orange");
System.out.println(result);
• The output of your program should be eachpay if the following statements are exe-
cuted:
String result = pigLatin("peach");
System.out.println(result);
