Fractions

Goals

Write a Java program the can do more complex math calculations.

Skills

  • Casting variables
  • Modulus and remainder
  • Output with Strings and numbers
  • Math library

Program Details

Your program needs to

  1. Prompt the user to enter two integers, x and y.
  2. Calculate and print the following:
    1. The decimal equivalent of the fraction x / y.
    2. The quotient and the remainder of the fraction x / y. For example if x = 50 and y = 7, your program should report that 50 / 7 is 7 with a remainder of 1 (or 7 + 1/7).
    3. The absolute value of x – y
    4. The exponential x raised to the y power. 
    5. The square root of x times y. 
  3. Make sure to test with numbers that will generate whole-number and decimal fractions (i.e. 4 /2 = 2.0 and 5 / 2 = 2.5), negative numbers, and zero as the denominator. 

Hints

  • Cast one of the integers as a floating point number.
