世界人口增长预测（World Population Growth）

“据日本共同社7月30日报道，联合国经济和社会事务部29日发布预测称，到2050年，全球人口将从目前(2015年)的73亿人增至97亿人，至2100年将达到112亿人。”

通过代码演算，以上预测基于以下年化增长率（参考运行结果中高亮显示的两个数值）：

2015年至2050年，世界总人口年化增长率为0.8%；

2015年至2100年，世界总人口年化增长率为0.5%；

 

代码如下：

//Java how to program, 10th edtion
//Exercise 4.39, making difference-World Population Growth
/**(World Population Growth) World population has grown considerably over the centuries.
Continued growth could eventually challenge the limits of breathable air, drinkable water, arable
cropland and other limited resources. There’s evidence that growth has been slowing in recent years
and that world population could peak some time this century, then start to decline.
For this exercise, research world population growth issues online. Be sure to investigate various
viewpoints. Get estimates for the current world population and its growth rate (the percentage by
which it’s likely to increase this year). Write a program that calculates world population growth
each year for the next 75 years, using the simplifying assumption that the current growth rate will stay
constant. Print the results in a table. The first column should display the year from year 1 to year
75. The second column should display the anticipated world population at the end of that year.
The third column should display the numerical increase in the world population that would occur
that year. Using your results, determine the year in which the population would be double what it
is today, if this year’s growth rate were to persist.*/

public class PopulationTest {
	
	public static void main(String[] args){
		int base=73;
		double growth_rate_low=0.003;
		double growth_rate_middle=0.005;
		double growth_rate_high=0.008;
		double populationEstimated=base;
		int counter=1;
		int YEARS=85;
		
		System.out.print("Year\t\t");
		System.out.print("EP(Low)\t\t");
		System.out.print("EP(Mid)\t\t");
		System.out.print("EP(High)\t");
		System.out.print("Growth(Mid)\n");
		
		while(counter<=YEARS){
			System.out.printf("%d\t\t",2015+counter);
			System.out.printf("%.2f\t\t",base*Math.pow(1.0+growth_rate_low, counter));
			System.out.printf("%.2f\t\t",base*Math.pow(1.0+growth_rate_middle, counter));
			System.out.printf("%.2f\t\t",base*Math.pow(1.0+growth_rate_high, counter));
			System.out.printf("%.2f\t\n",base*(Math.pow(1.0+growth_rate_middle, counter)-Math.pow(1.0+growth_rate_middle, counter-1)));
			counter++;
		}
		
		
		
	}

}
