Part II. Programming Questions (60 points total):

1. (20 points) You are creating a High-Low game. The first player will enter the “magic number”. Your
program must accept a “magic number” greater than zero and less than 100. You should continue
prompting for the “magic number” until a valid number is entered.
You should then prompt the second player for their guess. You should print out “Higher” if the magic
number is higher than the guess and you should print out “Lower” if the magic number is less than
the guess. Continue prompting the user until they have guessed the number. When the magic number
has been guessed you should print out a corresponding message and then end the program.
You should use the JOptionPane to prompt for input and display output. Remember it will return a
string you will have to parse. You can assume all input will be integers. You are not required to write
methods. All of your code can be in the main function.

2. (20 points) You are given a partially complete SimpleGUI class which pops up a GUI with one text
field, two buttons (“ok” and “cancel”), and a feedback label. You must augment this class to make it
respond to button events.
Implement the following behavior:

• ok button pushed:
– Set the feedback label to the text in the textField.
– Clear the textField.
• cancel button pushed:
– Set the feedback label to “cancel pushed”.
– Clear the textField

You must add the necessary code to the SimpleGUI constructor in order for this class to receive action
events. You must add the necessary code to implement the described behavior. If you need to alter
the class declaration, you should be sure to do that as well.
SimpleGUI template is given on the following pages.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class SimpleGUI extends JFrame

{
private Container contentPane;
private JTextField textField;
private JButton ok, cancel;
private JLabel feedback;
private JPanel panel;

public static void main( String[] args ) {

SimpleGUI gui = new SimpleGUI();
gui.pack();
gui.setVisible( true );
}

public SimpleGUI() {

contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout( new GridLayout( 3, 1 ) );

textField = new JTextField();

textField.setColumns( 22 );
contentPane.add( textField );

panel = new JPanel( new FlowLayout() );

ok = new JButton( "OK" );
cancel = new JButton( "Cancel" );
panel.add( ok );
panel.add( cancel );
contentPane.add( panel );

feedback = new JLabel();

contentPane.add( feedback );

// TODO Part1
// Insert code here to register this frame to receive action events

setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
}

// TODO Part2
// Insert code here to implement the described behavior

Solution for programming question 2: Please note you do not need to copy any of the given code. Just
label your code with TODO Part1 and TODO Part2. If you need to do any other code modification of
the given template, please label it TODO Part3.

3. (20 points) Write a program that asks the user to enter 300 integers between 0 and 2000 inclusive.
After the user enters these numbers, the statistical mode should be displayed. The statistical mode is
the most frequently occurring number. If there is a tie for the mode, ”no mode” should be displayed.
You need not perform error checking.
Example:

Enter an integer in [0,2000]:

3
Enter an integer in [0,2000]:
3
Enter an integer in [0,2000]:
3
Enter an integer in [0,2000]:
5
Enter an integer in [0,2000]:
8
...

Mode: no mode

Hint: You should consider using an array of integers to keep a running total of the number of times
a particular number has been entered. e.g. count[180] can contain the total number of times the user
entered the number 180.
