nextPerfectSquare that returns the first perfect square that is greater than its integer argument

Write a function named nextPerfectSquare that returns the first perfect square that is greater than its integer argument. A perfect square is an integer that is equal to some integer squared. For example 16 is a perfect square because 16 = 4 * 4. However 15 is not a perfect square because there is no integer n such that 15 = n*n.

The signature of the function is

int nextPerfectSquare(int n)

Simple Programming Test

This site will contain collection of programming test questions and answers from different examinations. This will help prepare for examinations. Mostly the questions will be about loops, strings and numeric problems.

Questions will also be published separately, so that anyone can try without looking at answers first. Readers can also comment better answers. Answers can simple be converted to different programming language such as C or C# from Java.

These content can be helpful for preparing for Programming Test for entry at University like MUM (Maharishi University of Management) Msc CS (Computer Science) Course.

Comment is open to all.

To find minimum and maximum value.

private static int getMaxValue(int[] Value){

double maxValue = Value[0];

for(int i=1;i < Value.length;i++){

if(Value[i] > maxValue){

maxValue = Value[i];

}

return maxValue;

}

private static int getMinValue(int[] Value){

double maxValue = Value[0];

for(int i=1;i < Value.length;i++){

if(Value[i] < maxValue){

maxValue = Value[i];

}

return maxValue;

}

You can simply copy and paste these methods in your program. You can send array of values as parameter and get minimum or maximum value.

You can also change method return type and type of array to get minimum or maximum of double values

Concat array in JAVA || GWT

By this way array two array can be combine to make one.

This can be used to make size of array variable (virtually).

Objects can be added to the array whose size is defined and array is full.

String[] Value=new String[1];

String[] Value_prev;

String[] Value_temp = new String[10];

Value_prev = Value;

Value = new String[Value_temp.length+Value_prev.length];

System.arraycopy(Value_prev, 0, Value, 0, Value_prev.length-1);

System.arraycopy(Value_temp, 0, Value, Value_prev.length, Value_temp.length-1);

In this code Value is main array where Value_temp array's data is added and Value_prev array is for storing previous data. This can be looped and used to add any many items as desired breaking the limitation of array to be defined at beginning.

This is presently for single dimension which can be extended to multi dimension.

Sorting Array of String in JAVA || GWT

public static void sortString(String[] array)

{

String temp;

for(int j=0; j<=array.length-1;j++){

for(int i=0; i<=array.length-2;++i){

if(array[i].compareTo(array[i+1])>0){

temp = array[i];

array[i] = array[i+1];

array[i+1] = temp;

}

Avoid Virus attacks to your PC

Virus are programs that may run automatically, regenerate automatically and allocate unnecessary memory and makes PC slow and malfunction. Virus are capable of destroying software too by modifying files.

So by understanding Virus. We can avoid them.

1. Do not run unknown executable files or install.(Most important)

2. Install Any one free antivirus.

3. Do not download unknown files.

4. Scan pendrives before using them.

5. keep the file extension shown (folder options). Because viruses can have any fimiliar icon or name but they can have only executable extensions like .exe. So u ll recogzise the virus even if its icon is like folder coz it ll have extension .exe.

Lists of free antivirus are.

-Avira

-AVG

-Avast!

-Bit Defender

-Microsoft Security Essentials (not totally true antivirus but defends unwanted things on PC)
