platform 9 interview question: given a M x N matrix, you put your robot at coordinate (0, 0) (upper-left corner) and the destination is (m - 1, n - 1). Robot can only go down or right. Print all possible route from (0, 0) to (m - 1, n - 1).

	public class Solution {

	public void entry(int m, int n) {
	Step [] steps = new Step[(m - 1) + (n - 1) + 1];
	steps[0] = new Step(0, 0);
	recur(m, n, 0, 0, steps);
	}

	public recur(int m, int n, int y, int x, Step [] steps) {
	if (y == m - 1 && x == n - 1) {

You are teaching Java by way of geometry problems. Your work requires Math.PI, Math.cos, Math.sin and other Math package functions. You would prefer to simply use the simple names (e.g. PI, cos, sin) without the Math. or java.lang.Math. prefixes. How do you accomplish that? 1. Declare that GeometryLesson aliases java.lang.Math. 2. Declare that G…

	class GeometryLesson {
	static double degreesToRadians (double d) {
	return (Math.PI / 360) * d;
	}
	...
	}
