using JAVA

It is a well-researched fact that men in a restroom generally prefer to maximize their distance from already occupied stalls, by occupying the middle of the longest sequence of unoccupied places. For example, consider the situation where ten stalls are empty.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The first visitor will occupy a middle position:

_ _ _ _ _ X _ _ _ _

The next visitor will be in the middle of the empty area at the left.

_ _ X _ _ X _ _ _ _

Write a program that reads the number of stalls and then prints out diagrams in the format given above when the stalls become filled, one at a time. Hint: Use an array of boolean values to indicate whether a stall is occupied.

Part 1: Problem-Solving Phase (40 points)

Using the Design Recipe, write each of the following for this problem:

Contract

Purpose Statement

Examples, making sure to include counter-examples

Algorithm

Make sure to test your algorithm by hand with the examples to verify it before continuing to Part 2.

Part 2: Implementation Phase (60 points)

Using Eclipse, write the Java program for the algorithm formulated in Part 1, and test your program with the examples from Part 1. Make sure to incorporate your Contract, Purpose Statement and Examples as one or more comment blocks, and your Algorithm as line comments in your Java source code.
