Problem: quadrant
Write a static method called quadrant that takes as parameters a pair of double values representing an (x, y) point and that returns the quadrant number for that point. Recall that quadrants are numbered as integers from 1 to 4 with the upper-right quadrant numbered 1 and the subsequent quadrants numbered in a counter-clockwise fashion: ^ y-axis | | | Quadrant 2 | Quadrant 1 | x-axis | Quadrant 3 | Quadrant 4 | | | V Notice that the quadrant is determined by whether the x and y coordinates are positive or negative numbers. If a point falls on the x-axis or the y-axis, then the method should return 0. Below are sample calls on the method. Method Value Method Value Call Returned Call Returned ------------------------------- ------------------------------- quadrant(12.4, 17.8) 1 quadrant(0.0, 0.0) 0 quadrant(-2.3, 3.5) 2 quadrant(12.5, 0.0) 0 quadrant(-15.2, -3.1) 3 quadrant(0.0, 2.3) 0 quadrant(4.5, -4.5) 4 Write your solution to method quadrant below.
