In order to generate Random double type numbers in Java, we use the nextDouble() method of the java.util.Random class. This returns the next random double value between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive) from the random generator sequence.Declaration - The java.util.Random.nextDouble() method is declared as follows −public float nextDouble()Let us see a program to generate random double type numbers in Java −Exampleimport java.util.Random; public class Example {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Random rd = new Random(); // creating Random object       System.out.println(rd.nextDouble()); // displaying a random double value between 0.0 & 1.0    } ...

Three numbers can be swapped in cyclic order by passing them to a function cyclicSwapping() using call by reference. This function swaps the numbers in a cyclic fashion.The program to swap numbers in cyclic order using call by reference is given as follows −Example#include using namespace std; void cyclicSwapping(int *x, int *y, int *z) {    int temp;    temp = *y;    *y = *x;    *x = *z;    *z = temp; } int main() {    int x, y, z;    cout > y >> z;    cout

Use the == operator to compare two calendar objects.Let us first create the first calendar object and set date −Calendar date1 = Calendar.getInstance(); date1.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2040); date1.set(Calendar.MONTH, 10); date1.set(Calendar.DATE, 25); date1.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 11); date1.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30); date1.set(Calendar.SECOND, 10);Now, the following is the second calendar object −Calendar date2 = Calendar.getInstance(); date2.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2040); date2.set(Calendar.MONTH, 10); date2.set(Calendar.DATE, 25); date2.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 11); date2.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 30); date2.set(Calendar.SECOND, 10);Let is now compare them using == and && operators −if(date1.get(Calendar.SECOND) == date2.get(Calendar.SECOND) && date1.get(Calendar.MINUTE) == date2.get(Calendar.MINUTE) && date1.get(Calendar.HOUR) == date2.get(Calendar.HOUR) && date1.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) == date2.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) && date1.get(Calendar.YEAR) == date2.get(Calendar.YEAR) ) {    System.out.println("The local time for the calendar objects is same...");    } ...

Permutation and Combination are a part of Combinatorics. Permutation is the different arrangements that a set of elements can make if the elements are taken one at a time, some at a time or all at a time. Combination is is the different ways of selecting elements if the elements are taken one at a time, some at a time or all at a time.An example of this is given as follows −Permutation = factorial(n) / factorial(n-r); Combination = factorial(n) / (factorial(r) * factorial(n-r)); n = 5 r = 3 Permutation = 60 Combination = 10A program that demonstrates this ...
