Method

Edit Hailstone$1.$java $($including updating comments appropriately$)$ to ask the user for a positive integer and then compute and output the corresponding Hailstone series. The generation and output of the series should be done in a static method declared as follows $($copy the method header, including the documentation comment, from the browser and paste it into Eclipse, replacing only the myMethod method provided in the skeleton program$)$:

$1*****$

Generates and outputs the Hailstone series starting with the given integ $lon$

@param n

aparam out

the starting integer

the output stream

$/$

private static void generateSeries$($int n$,$ SimpleWriter out$)\{dots\}$

Copy Hailstone$1.$ java to create Hailstone$2.$ java $($right$-$click on Hailstone$1.$ java to get the contextual pop$-$up menu and choose Copy, then right$-$click on $($default package$)$ and choose Paste, providing the new name Hailstone$2).$ Change generateseries $($including its Javadoc comments$)$ so that it also computes and outputs the length of the series.

Copy Hailstone$2.$ java to create Hailstone$3.$ java. Change generateSeries $($including its Javadoc comments$)$ so that it also computes and outputs the maximum value of the series.

$$opy $$ilstone$3.$ java to create Hailstone$4.$java. Change it so that it repeatedly asks the user whether they wish to calculate another series. If the response is $"y",$ then the program should proceed; if it is anything else, then the program should quit.

Additional Activities

Copy Hailstone$4.$ java to create Hailstone$5.$ java. Change it so that it checks that the input provided by the user is a positive integer. You should implement a new static method declared as follows:

$1****$

Repeatedly asks the user for a positive integer until the user enters

one. Returns the positive integer.

aparam in

the input stream

eparam out

the output stream

ereturn a positive integer entered by the user

$*/$

private static int getPositiveInteger$($SimpleReader in$,$ SimpleWriter out$)\{.$

Note that you cannot assume the user will provide a number; the user can type pretty much anything. So your method should read the input as a String $($use simpleReader's nextLine$().),$ then convert the string to an integer $($use Integer.parseInt$().),$ and finally check that the integer is positive.
