Example output to produce: hourglass +------+ |\ /| | \ / | | \/ | | /\ | | / \ | |/ \| +------+

Hourglass: Decomposition +------+ |\ /| | \ / | | \/ | | /\ | | / \ | |/ \| +------+

Hourglass: Pseudocode +------+ draw line |\ /| | \ / | draw top half | \/ | | /\ | | / \ | draw bottom half |/ \| +------+ draw line

Hourglass: Pseudo Code Draw a solid line Draw the top half of the hourglass Draw the bottom half of the hourglass

main( ) looks like public class DrawFigure { public static void main (String [] args) { drawLine(); drawTop (); drawBottom (); drawLine (); } public static void drawLine () { code SOLVE EACH METHOD INDEPENDENTLY

Solve for the solid line Write a + on the output line Write 6 – on the output line Go to a new output line public static void drawLine( ) { System.out.print ("+"); for (int i=1; i <= 6; i++) { System.out.print (“-”); } System.out.println (“+”); Translated into a static method

Solve for Top Half of Hourglass for (each of 3 lines) { write a bar on the output line. write some spaces on the output line. write a backslash on the output line. write a slash on the output line. go to a new line of output. } To help you… create a table to determine the output of spaces

Table for Top Half of hourglass Line Spaces 1 4 2 3

Refining pseudocode for Top Half of Hourglass for (line going from 1 to 3) { write a bar on the output line. write (line – 1) spaces on the output line. write a backslash on the output line. write (6 - 2 * line) spaces on the output line. write a slash on the output line. go to a new line of output. }

drawTop () // produces the top half of the hourglass figure public class drawTop { for (int line = 1; line <= 3; line++) { System.out.print (“|”); for (int i = 1; i <= (line-1); i++) { system.out.print(“ “); } System.out.print (“\\”); for (int i = 1; i <= (6-2*line); i++) { system.out.print(“ “); System.out.print (“/”); System.out.print (“|”);

Using a Class Constant // refers to height of two halves public static final int SUB_HEIGHT = 3; public static void drawLine( ) { System.out.print ("+"); for (int i=1; i <= (2*SUB_HEIGHT); i++) { System.out.print (“-”); } System.out.println (“+”);

drawTop ( ) using constant // produces the top half of the hourglass figure public class drawTop { for (int line = 1; line <= SUB_HEIGHT; line++) { System.out.print (“|”); for (int i = 1; i <= (line-1); i++) { system.out.print(“ “); } System.out.print (“\\”); for (int i = 1; i <= ((2*SUB_HEIGHT)-2*line); i++) { system.out.print(“ “); System.out.print (“/”); System.out.print (“|”);

Rocket: Assignment #3 Write a java program to produce this output. The height is 3; allow for the height to vary (with multiples of 3). /**\ //**\\ ///**\\\ ////**\\\\ /////**\\\\\ +=*=*=*=*=*=*+ |../\..../\..| |./\/\../\/\.| |/\/\/\/\/\/\| |\/\/\/\/\/\/| |.\/\/..\/\/.| |..\/....\/..|

In-Class Exercise Create pseudocode for drawCone( ); Create output table for drawCone( ); Write code for drawCone( ); Note: Use a constant for HEIGHT. Compute height and length based on HEIGHT. Note: Top of rocket and booster of rocket are the same shape.
