Chapter 8 Code

Lecture Code

We have a simple object-oriented hello world program implemented in the 00_HelloWorld folder in the Github repository.

Worksheet Code

Polynomials:

• In this assignment, you'll implement a Polynomial object and use it in a PolynomialDriver class
• You should plan out your data structure for a polynomial object (what fields are necessary?)
• You should design your class to implement methods as specified in assignment:
• Implement 3 methods:
  • Add one polynomial to another, and return a new Polynomial object as the result (returns a Polynomial)
  • Evaluate the polynomial at a particular location x (returns a double)
  • Add a toString() method that will print out the polynomial like 5.0 x^2 + 1.123 x + 17.9

Polynomial Driver:

• Adding:
  • Create the polynomial 4 x^3 + x^2 + 4 x + 1
  • Create the polynomial x^2 + 2x + 1
  • Add these two polynomials to get result 4 x^3 + 2 x^2 + 6 x + 2
  • Print the result
• Evaluating:
  • Create the polynomial

Extra credit:

• Implement subtraction method that utilizes the add method (+2)
• Implement root-finding method for polynomials with degree < 3 (+5)
• Implement root-finding method for polynomials with arbitrary degree (+10)
