Pond Program:As part of your internship at Parkville’s Parks and Recreation Department, you’ve been asked to write a program that keeps track of pond life. Your program doesn’t have to do much—it simply prints pond life forms. For this exercise, provide a Pond class that uses the following

The following program is supposed to reverse the elements in the scientists array. It compiles and runs, but it doesn’t work properly.The reversal does not occur. Fix the problem by rewriting the reverse method. Hint: You’ll need to modify one line of code. Although not required, to reduce
Write a program that performs a one-position left rotation of the elements in an array. Demonstrate the effect by having the program rotate the elements in this particular array:String[] scientists = {"Sheldon", "Amy", "Raj"};The rotation should change the sequence of the array’s elements to:
Given the following list array, use the selection sort algorithm to sort the array. Show each step of the selection sort process. Do not provide code; just show pictures of the list array after each element swap. 0 1 2 3 4 list (original) 18 2 6 -5 5 0 1 2 3 4 list (sorted) -5 2 5 6 18
The insertion-sort algorithm provides an alternative to the selection-sort algorithm for sorting something like a hand of cards, where there is a small number of items (about 20 or less). It’s more efficient than selection sort if the array is only slightly out of order, but it’s relatively
Write a program that uses the sort method in the Java Arrays class to sort the elements in an array of String elements in alphabetical order. Use this array: String[] friends {"Sheldon", "Amy", "Leonard", "Bernadette", "Raj"}; = Sample session: Amy Bernadette Leonard Raj Sheldon
Write a single statement that initializes a two-dimensional array named rectangles with double elements. Provide one row for each of three rectangles and give each row two columns, one for width and the other for height. Initialize all width and height values to 1.0.
As you learned earlier, a two-dimensional array is actually a one-dimensional array of references to other (subordinate) one-dimensional arrays, which may be of different lengths. The following program is supposed to print the contents of the cousins array. Replace the line with appropriate code.
The programming term mask refers to an array or 0’s and 1’s that is built from another array, such that if any element in the other array satisfies some criterion, the corresponding mask element is 1. Otherwise that corresponding mask element is 0. Suppose each row in a two-dimensional array
Modify the SalesClerks program so the SalesClerk array length always equals the current number of sales clerks. That means the initial length of the SalesClerks array should be zero. Because the current number of sales clerks always equals clerks.length, dispense with the filledElements variable.
Given the following program skeleton that stores information about the characters in the Big Bang Theory television show. Replace the line with code that implements a displayActor method. The method receives a character’s name and searches for the name in the array of BigBangCharacter objects.
In this chapter’s FlightTimes class, modify the displayFlightTimesTable method by converting the two for loops that iterate over the columns, so that they use for-each loops instead.There’s no comparable benefit to converting the for loop that iterates over the rows. Why? Because if it’s
