1. Declare a boolean array (but don't initialize yet), a long variable (initialize to 0), and a String variable (initialize to "")
2. Ask the user what type they want (byte, short, int)
3. Assign an appropriate size boolean array to the declared array variable (8 for byte, 16 for short, etc.)
4. Randomly initialize each variable in the array to true or false (Hint: The Random class in the java.util package has an instance method that can generate random true and false values.)
5. Process the boolean array as if it were a binary number, which you can accomplish via the following steps:
   • Treat each boolean variable in the array as a binary bit and true/false as 1/0, respectively
   • Treat the 1st variable in the array as the right-most bit, 2nd variable as 2nd bit from right, and so forth.
   • For example:
     

     	           Array Indices:    0    1     2    3    4     5     6    7
     	            Array Values:  true false true false true false true false
     	      Binary Counterpart:  01010101
     	      

   • Calculate the value and store in the long variable:
     • If the last value in the array is false, the left-most bit is 0, so simply convert to base-10.
     • Otherwise, the left-most bit is 1, meaning it's a negative value, so convert to base-10 and then subtract 2^(number of bits)
   • Also, store the binary representation in the String variable
6. Print both the binary representation and the integer value.
7. Prompt the user to continue or quit

Code:

// Import any classes from java.util, as needed

public class BinaryWithBooleans {


    public static void main(String[] args) {















    }

    // This may be easier than Math.pow(...) because
    // you won't have to do any casting.
    private static long power(long base, long exponent){
        if (exponent == 0)
            return 1;
        else if (exponent == 1)
            return base;
        else{
            long median = (exponent % 2 == 0) ? exponent / 2 : (int) Math.ceil(exponent / 2.0);
            return power(base, median) * power(base, exponent - median);
        }
    }

}
