Many computations can be expressed concisely using the ``multadd''
operation, which takes three operands and computes a*b + c. Some
processors even provide a hardware implementation of this operation for
floating-point numbers.
- 1.
- Create a new project called Multadd.prj.
- 2.
- Write a method called multadd that takes three doubles
as parameters and that prints their multadditionization.
- 3.
- In main test your method by invoking it with a
few simple parameters, like 1.0, 2.0, 3.0. The result
should be 5.0.
- 4.
- Also in main, use your method to compute the
following values:

- 5.
- Write a method called yikes that takes a
double as a parameter and that uses multadd to calculate
and print

HINT: the Math method for raising e to a power is Math.exp.
