Problem 1: Conversion of meters to miles, feet, and inches

This problem requires a Java program that prompts the user for a measurement in meters and converts this value into miles, feet, and inches. The algorithm begins by requesting user input for meters, which is then stored in a variable. Using the known conversion factors—1 meter equals approximately 0.000621371 miles, 1 meter equals about 3.28084 feet, and 1 meter equals approximately 39.3701 inches—the program multiplies the meters value by these constants to obtain the respective measurements. The results are then displayed to the user with appropriate formatting.

Problem 2: Breaking an integer into individual digits

The task is to read an integer input (up to five digits, and non-negative) and display each digit on a separate line. The algorithm starts by prompting the user for an integer input, which is stored in a variable. To isolate each digit, the program might use division and modulo operations. For example, to get the leftmost digit, divide the number by 10000 (for five digits), then take modulo to extract the next digit, and so on. Alternatively, converting the number into a string simplifies digit extraction by iterating through each character in the string and printing each digit on a new line.

Problem 3: Fuel efficiency and cost calculations

This program requires input for the number of gallons of gas in the tank, the vehicle's fuel efficiency (miles per gallon), and the price of gas per gallon. The algorithm calculates the cost per 100 miles by dividing 100 by the miles-per-gallon value, then multiplying the result by the gas price. To determine how far the car can go with the current gas, multiply the number of gallons by the miles per gallon. The program then displays both outputs: the cost per 100 miles and the total distance possible with current gas.

Problem 4: City name string manipulation

In this problem, the user enters the name of their favorite city, which is stored in a String variable. The algorithm performs various string operations: calculates the length of the city name, converts the name to all uppercase and all lowercase, and extracts the first character. These operations can be achieved using built-in Java String methods such as length(), toUpperCase(), toLowerCase(), and charAt(0). The results are then displayed to the user.

Problem 5: String shifting

The program reads a word from the user and creates three variations of the string: one shifted to the right by two positions, and one shifted to the left by two positions. The right shift involves moving the last two characters to the front, while the left shift involves moving the first two characters to the end. The third string remains unchanged. These shifts can be implemented via substring operations. The program stores each shifted string in separate variables and displays all three at the end.

Solution and Implementation

Problem 1: Java Code for Conversion of meters



import java.util.Scanner;


public class MetersConversion {


public static void main(String[] args) {


Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);


System.out.print("Enter measurement in meters: ");


double meters = scanner.nextDouble();


double miles = meters * 0.000621371;


double feet = meters * 3.28084;


double inches = meters * 39.3701;


System.out.printf("%.2f meters is equivalent to:\n", meters);


System.out.printf("%.4f miles\n", miles);


System.out.printf("%.2f feet\n", feet);


System.out.printf("%.2f inches\n", inches);


}


}

Problem 2: Java Code for Digit Extraction



import java.util.Scanner;


public class DigitsExtractor {


public static void main(String[] args) {


Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);


System.out.print("Enter an integer (up to five digits): ");


int number = scanner.nextInt();


if (number  99999) {


System.out.println("Invalid input, please enter a non-negative number up to five digits.");


return;


}


String numberStr = String.format("%05d", number); // Zero-pad to 5 digits


for (int i = 0; i 

System.out.println(numberStr.charAt(i));


}


}


}

Problem 3: Java Code for Fuel and Cost Calculations



import java.util.Scanner;


public class FuelCostCalculator {


public static void main(String[] args) {


Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);


System.out.print("Enter gallons of gas in tank: ");


double gallons = scanner.nextDouble();


System.out.print("Enter fuel efficiency (miles per gallon): ");


double mpg = scanner.nextDouble();


System.out.print("Enter price of gas per gallon: ");


double pricePerGallon = scanner.nextDouble();


double milesPer100Gallons = 100.0 / mpg;


double costPer100Miles = milesPer100Gallons * pricePerGallon;


double totalDistance = gallons * mpg;


System.out.printf("Cost per 100 miles: $%.2f\n", costPer100Miles);


System.out.printf("Distance the car can go with current gas: %.2f miles\n", totalDistance);


}


}

Problem 4: Java Code for String Manipulation of City Name



import java.util.Scanner;


public class CityNameInfo {


public static void main(String[] args) {


Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);


System.out.print("Enter your favorite city: ");


String city = scanner.nextLine();


int length = city.length();


String upperCaseCity = city.toUpperCase();


String lowerCaseCity = city.toLowerCase();


char firstChar = city.charAt(0);


System.out.println("Number of characters: " + length);


System.out.println("City in uppercase: " + upperCaseCity);


System.out.println("City in lowercase: " + lowerCaseCity);


System.out.println("First character: " + firstChar);


}


}

Problem 5: Java Code for String Shifting



import java.util.Scanner;


public class StringShifter {


public static void main(String[] args) {


Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);


System.out.print("Enter a word: ");


String word = scanner.nextLine();


if (word.length() 

System.out.println("Word too short for shifting operations.");


return;


}


String rightShift = word.substring(word.length() - 2) + word.substring(0, word.length() - 2);


String leftShift = word.substring(2) + word.substring(0, 2);


System.out.println("Original word: " + word);


System.out.println("Shifted right by 2: " + rightShift);


System.out.println("Shifted left by 2: " + leftShift);


}


}

Summary

These programs demonstrate fundamental Java programming concepts including user input handling, string manipulation, arithmetic operations, and formatted output. Each problem's algorithm is designed to be straightforward, with a clear flow from input collection to processing and final display of results. Proper testing and screenshots of execution will verify the correctness of each implementation.
