This final project will form a substantial portion of your final grade.  As such, please be sure to follow all instructions and requirements.

 

Project requirements


·         Working code

-         See past resources

·         Proper comments

-         http://www.cwu.edu/~gellenbe/javastyle/index.html

·         Proper variable names

-         http://www.cwu.edu/~gellenbe/javastyle/index.html

·         Proper white space and formatting

-         http://www.cwu.edu/~gellenbe/javastyle/index.html and http://mbreen.com/javastyle.html

·         Proper testing evidence

-         Output copied to a testing file in your working directory

-         Must test all functionality AND incorrect inputs

-         It is the programmers job to PROVE that their code works in ALL cases

 

 All projects (each of you will be working on a different project) will require the implementation of a command line menu system.
 
The command line menu system will be programmed together in class on day 1 and we will create a new project in a new directory together.
 

Pseudocode (enter it into your program neatly)

===============================================

WHILE input is not "Q"

Display the menu
Get user input
IF input is 'A'
Call method A
ELSE IF input is 'B'
Call method B
ELSE
Display error message
END WHILE

Final Projects Description (Final Projects.doc) - This file will be updated with the remaining details as they become available.

Final Project Starting Code (FinalProject.java) - this code creates a command line menu system and gets the user choice.  It should be used in all of your final projects.

==================================================

Please enter a string to convert to binary: Ryan

Ryan, [01010010,01111001,01100001,01101110]

Please enter a string to convert to binary: quiT

Goodbye...

==================================================

The program continues doing this until the user enters any variant of the string "QUIT", "Quit", "quit", "qUiT", etc.

The method System.in.read will allow you to get input from the user.

K. Riffel Open that file
Convert all the binary characters into strings and display them

The format of the file is as such and there can be any number of binary characters and any number of strings:

[01010010,01111001,01100001,01101110]

Display the strings as such:

string1, string2, string3

Resources
========================================
Reading from a file - Look at FileReader, inputStream
Converting a binary string to characters - Use Integer.parseInt()

Essentially this is the opposite of project 1.
