In order to reach the top of a pole, a monkey in his first attempt reaches to a height of 5 feet and in the subsequent jumps, he slips down by 2% of the height attained in the previous jump. The process repeats and finally the monkey reaches the top of the pole. Write a program to input height of the pole. Calculate and display the number of attempts the monkey makes to reach the top of the pole.

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter height of the pole: ");
double poleHt = in.nextDouble();
double jumpHt = 5.0;
int numAttempts = 1;
while (jumpHt < poleHt) {
jumpHt += 5.0;
jumpHt -= 2 * jumpHt / 100.0;
numAttempts++;
}
System.out.println("Number of Attempts = " + numAttempts);

Write a menu driven program to input two positive numbers m and n (where m>n) and perform the following tasks:
(a) Find the sum of two numbers without using '+' operator.
(b) Find the product of two numbers without using '*' operator.
(c) Find the quotient and remainder of two numbers without using '/' and '%' operator.
[Hint: The last value obtained after each subtraction is the remainder and the number of iterations results in quotient.]
Sample Input: m=5, n=2
5 - 2 =3
3 - 2 = 1, thus Quotient = 2 and Remainder = 1Write a program in Java to find the sum of the given series:
