Chapter 7, Problem 8E

Method definition for “isStrictlyIncreasing”:

/* Method definition for "isStrictlyIncreasing" method */

public static boolean isStrictlyIncreasing(double[] in)

{

    //Assign answer to "true"

    boolean answer = true;

    /* Check each array element using "for" loop */

    for(int i = 0; i < (in.length - 1); i++)

    {

/* If each value in the given array is less than the value before it, then */

        if(in[i+1] <= in[i])

            /* Assign answer to "false" */

            answer = false;

    }

    //Finally returns the value of answer

    return answer;

}

Complete code:

The complete code for implementing the method “isStrictlyIncreasing” is given below:

//Define "SampleArray" class

public class SampleArray

{

    //Define main function

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        //Initializes the values for "array1"

        double[] array1 = {2.18, 4.8, 6.2, 8.14, 10.2};

        //Initializes the values for "array2"

double[] array2 = {8.2, 6.43, 12.10, 3.46, 18.4, 6.2, 20.8, 15.42, 13.12, 32.84};

        //Display given statement

        System.out.print("Result of array1: ");

/* Call the method "isStrictlyIncreasing" with argument of "array1" */

System.out.println(isStrictlyIncreasing(array1));

        //Display given statement

        System.out.print("Result of array2: ");

/* Call the method "isStrictlyIncreasing" with argument of "array2" */

System.out.println(isStrictlyIncreasing(array2));

    }
