Create an
class called Polynomial so that you can
represent polynomials with real coefficients. Design a class Term with
a real coefficient and an integer exponent to represent a term in a
polynomial. Represent a polynomial as
a LinkedList
using the LinkedList class in the Java API. Your Polynomial class will extend the LinkedList class.

For example, the
polynomial 3.5x6 – 2.3x + 7 would be represented
by a list with three nodes having the values:
Provide
a method that constructs a polynomial from input values. Also
provide the following operations/methods in your Polynomial class:
Display the
resulting polynomial in a format like:
3.5x^6 – 2.3x + 7
Your test class
GUI should provide textFields for the two polynomilas as well as for
the solution, and buttons for the above operations. Use type double
for the coefficients.
Formatting output:
public String configOutput(String poly)
{
String output = "<html>";
Scanner chopper = new Scanner(poly);
while(chopper.hasNext())
{String temp = (String)chopper.next();
temp=temp + " ";
int index = temp.indexOf("^");
if(index >=0)
{temp = temp.replaceAll("\\^","<sup>") + "</sup>";
}
output += temp;}
output+="</html>";
return output;
}
