You may find that it becomes tedious to do all of this in the console window inside AS.  You can automate this process (as the TA will for grading) by running the program from a terminal or console window as follows:

This method should ask the user to enter an integer which represents a length of time ''t'' in seconds, and then compute and print out the number of ''d'' days, ''h'' hours, ''m'' minutes, and ''s'' seconds corresponding to ''t'' on separate lines.

−
* Start with the first non-zero time unit (i.e. do not print leading zero values)
 
−
* Print "1 day" instead of "1 days", "1 hour" instead of "1 hours", etc. where appropriate (i.e., do not use plural for a value of 1).  Some example outputs are below:

−
If the user inputs "67", the output should be

−
1 minute

7 seconds

and if they input "8880" the output should be

2 hours

28 minutes

For this function you may assume that ''t'' is positive, and you do not have to use a <tt>long</tt>
 

Revision as of 22:35, 11 September 2017

    • Make a new project (but now n = 1) following these instructions
  • Name your class "Lab1". This happens when you are creating a new module, in the Java class name field
    • Add your name and section number in a comment before the class declaration
    • As explained in the subsections below, modify static void main() and create two other methods: static void countOccurrences() { ... } and static void printLayeredPyramid() { ... }
  • Submit your Lab1.java on Sakai by Monday, September 18

Use proper naming and formatting style throughout your code.

static void main(String[] args)

Your main() should do the following:

  • Ask the user (using println() or printf()) to input a single character c and a String S, each on separate lines. Read these with a Scanner object and pass them to countOccurrences().
  • Whatever value is returned by leapYearsInRange()
  • If a valid choice is made, call the corresponding function immediately. Otherwise print an error message
  • Let the program end (no loop -- just print prompt, read response, and execute one time)


static int countOccurrences(char c, String S)

Iterate through every character in the String S and count how many time char c occurs.

static void drawLayeredPyramid(int numLayers)

Draw the following pattern
