Exercise 1: Using the while Loop

The objective of this exercise is to write classes that use while loops.

Task 1 – Writing a Class That Uses the while Loop

In this task, you write a class that counts from 1 to any number. Follow these steps to
write your class:

1. Go to the loops directory.

2. Write a class called Counter that contains a method called displayCount

that:
• Counts from one (1) to MAX_COUNT, where MAX_COUNT is a variable
that you must declare and initialize to any number, by using a while
loop
• Displays the count

3. Compile your program.

4. Use the CounterTest.class file to test your program.

Task 2 – Writing Another Class That Uses the while

Loop
In this task, you write a class called Sequence that displays a sequence starting with
the numbers 1 and 1. Successive numbers in the sequence are the sum of the previous two
numbers. For example: 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 and so on. Follow these steps to create your class:

5. Write a class called Sequence that contains a method called

displaySequence. The display method should contain a while loop that:

• Performs an operation to calculate a number in the sequence.

• Displays the first 10 numbers in the sequence. The result should look like:
1
1
2
3
5
8
13
21
34
55
6. Compile your program.

7. Use the SequenceTest.class file to test your program.
