Given that you want more than one method I assume
this is a homwework assignment rather than a practical
problem? If so we would prefer that you showed us what
you tried and we can then help you fix it rather than
just offer you solutions from which you will learn little.

How did you think it should be done?
Maybe if we start from there?
