Programming questions:
31.Write a code fragment that declares a two-dimensional 10x10 array of integers called myArray and then initialize each element of the array to have the value of i * j where i and j are the two indices of the element. For instance, the value for element myArray[5][3] must be set to 15 (i.e. 5 * 3).
32.Write an interface named XYInterface that contains two int constants, X = 5 and Y = 10 and a method called useXY which receives no parameters and returns an integer value. (You don't need to implement the XYInterfac)
33.String s1 is said to overlap String s2 if all of the characters in s1 also appear in s2 (in any order). Write a method called testOverlap that takes two strings (called s1 and s2) as input parameters and returns a boolean value that is true if s1 overlaps s2 and false otherwise.
34.Write a class called Employee. Each employee should have a name, an identification number, a position, and an hourly wage.
a) Write a method that is passed the int value of the number of hours worked for the week as a parameter, and returns the pay for the Employee (including overtime, which is 1.5 * hourly wages for each hour over 40).
b) Write a raise method that is passed an increase (or decrease) in hourly wages and updates the Employee's hourly wages appropriately. The amount passed is strictly the amount of increase or decrease, not a new hourly wages. If the amount of increase (or decrease) is more than what the Employee currently makes, do not adjust the hourly wage, but arise an exception called InvalidRaise.
