Assume that nextword is a string variable that has been given a string value consisting entirely of letters. write some java code that outputs the message "first half of the alphabet" , provided nextword precedes "n" in alphabetic ordering. ifnextword does not precede "n" in alphabetic ordering, the code should output"second half of the alphabet" . (note that "n"uses double quotes to produce astring value, as opposed to using single quotes to produce achar value.) '

The code example is given below with explanation in c++ language.

Explanation:

Comments will explain what's going on in the code. Below code is already compiled and tested.

#include <time.h>

#include <iostream>

#include <sstream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)

{

//defining start and end time variable

// which will be used to break the infinte loop

   time_t endwait;

   time_t start = time(NULL);

   time_t seconds = 3; // end loop after this time has elapsed

cout<<"Input your number :";

long userNum;

cin>> userNum;

// initializing end time by adding seconds with start time

   endwait = start + seconds;

   // defining outputString which will concatenate all the  

   // divisible numbers in loop

string outputString="";

// bool isCompleted will use to check whether our  

// loop breaks successfully or time is expired.

bool isCompleted=true;

// iterate loop until it comes to 1. as in loop

// the program already displayed the 1 value.

   while (userNum>1)

   {  

  // checking start and end time comparison to  

  // break the infinite loop after some seconds

   if(start >= endwait){

     cout<< "Program end never reached.";

     isCompleted=false;

     break;

 }

   userNum=userNum/2;

   // defining stringstream to convert from long to string

   stringstream longToString;

   longToString<<userNum;

  // concatenating all the values

   outputString = outputString + longToString.str()+" ";

   // re initializing the start time with current time.

       start = time(NULL);

   }

  // check if while loop breaks successfully then print the

   // series of numbers here.

   if(isCompleted) {

   cout << outputString;

}

   return 0;

}

he could use bold or bigger text just a suggestion.
