Sample methods to write:

1. Write a value-returning method, isVowel, that returns the value true if a given
character is a vowel, and otherwise returns false.
public static boolean isVowel ( char letter) {
char x;
String str = String.valueOf(letter);
// change the letter to uppercase
x = Character.toUpperCase(letter);
switch (x) {
case 'A':
case 'E':
case 'I':
case 'O':
case 'U': return true;
default: return false;
}
} // end isVowel
Alternately in the method you can use an if statement instead of the case
public static boolean isVowel ( char letter) {
char x;
String str = String.valueOf(letter);
// change the letter to uppercase
x = Character.toUpperCase(letter);
if ((letter == A) || ( letter == E) || (letter == I) || (letter == O) || (letter == U))
return true;
else return false;
} // end isVowel

2. Write a program that prompts the user to input a sequence of characters (as
a string) and outputs the number of vowels. (Hint: Your program should use
the method in the previous problem, use a loop, and methods from class
STring)

3. Consider the following program outline:

public class Mystery {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int num;
double dec;
// some statements go here
}// end of main
public static int one(int x, int y) {

}// end of one

public static double two( int x, double a) {
int first;
double z,

} // end of two
}// end of class mystery
a. Write the definition of method one so that it returns the sum of x and
y if x is greater than y; other wise it should return x minus 2 times y.

b. write the definition of method two as follows:

i. read a number and store it in z.
ii. update the value of z by adding the value of a to it
iii. assign the variable first the value returned by method one with
the parameters 6 & 8
iv. update the value of first by adding the value of x to its previous
value
v. if the value of z is more than twice the value of first, return z
otherwise return 2 times first minus z.
4. Write a method, reverseDigit that takes an integer as a parameter, and
returns the number with its digits reversed. For example the value of
reverseDigit(123) is 321. Also, write a main program to test your program.
