{
... code to handle IllegalArgumentException ...
}

15. How is the caller's flow of control (sequence of statement execution) different when an exception is thrown from a method that it calls, vs. when the method returns normally?

The following questions are 20 points each. Paste your source code below each question, and example input and output. Do not include
the code required to test the methods, etc.

P1. Write a static method that checks if a String represents a valid integer value and returns true if valid, or false if not. For
example, "123", "-45", and "0" are valid integers, but "x7" and "3.14" are not. Use java.lang.Integer.parseInt() to perform the
actual validity checking inside your method. Your method should also return false if the parameter String is null or empty.
It should NOT throw any exceptions back to the caller (but may use exceptions internally).

Use the following prototype for your method:

public static boolean isValidInt(String testIntval)

Show example output for the following values entered:

"42"
"-123"
"12-34"
"10.5"
"x7"
"" (length 0 string)
null (pass a Java null reference in a hardcoded call to isValidInt)

P2. Write a Java method that returns the largest value passed to it.

Use the following prototype:

public static int max(int val1, int val2, int val3) {
// return the largest of the three values...
}

For example, the following call of your method sets 'n' to 30:

int n = max(20, 30, 10);

Note that any three values can be passed to this method.

The following would also set 'n' to 30:

int n = max(30, 30, 10);

Write a main() method to test your max method. It should input three values, call your max method, and then print the three values and returned max value as output, eg:

Input values: 30 20 10 - max value is 30

The max() method cannot read any input values, nor print any output values. All input and printing is done by the main() method that calls max().

Paste in both your source code for your max() method, and the runtime output showing the parameter values and returned maximum value for the following sample input values:

a) 30, 30, 30
b) 10, -10, 20
c) 40, 60, 50
d) 90, 70, 80
e) 50, 50, 25
f) 50, 50, 75
g) 200, 100, 200
h) 200, 400, 200
i) 300, 500, 500
j) 700, 500, 500
