ICS 111, Introduction to Computer Science
Lab 10 - Switch Statements - October 9
To receive credit for this lab assignment, you must be finished by
Thursday, October 9, at 11:59 p.m. After this time you will not receive any credit.Instructions:
1. Login to UNIX
2. Create and edit a Java program called 'LabX.java' (substitute the lab
number for X- where is the number of the lab- such as 'Lab1.java') in Pico
to do the following:
- Read a number from the user
- If the number is 1, they will print "Sunday"
If the number is 2, they will print "Monday"
If the number is 3, they will print "Tuesday"
.
.
.
If the number is 7, they will print "Saturday"
Note: Use a switch statement here, not a bunch of if / else statements!
- If the number is greater than 7 or smaller than 1 you should print an error message. Use the default statement here, not if statements!
- If the number is not an integer you should print an error message as well.
- If what the user enters is not a number you should print yet another error message.
- "Think" about your error messages so that they tailor to the error. Error messages should be friendly.
- Before you submit your code, make sure that your code follows the rules of the Java Coding Standard. Visit this link to look up Java code formatting rules and be sure that your program adheres to these guidelines. At least follow the rules of proper indenting / spacing, making a comment block for classes, making a comment block for methods (main method for this lab), and do some inline commenting to explain what your program is doing. Not doing ALL of these will result in a deduction of points on your lab.
3. Compile and run the program. Be sure to thoroughly test the program after getting it compiled and running to make sure it meets ALL of the requirements above.
4. Get into Pine, and attach the file to an e-mail
5. Send the e-mail / file(s) to the ics111-lab@hawaii.edu account.
6. Check the webpage to make sure that the e-mail arrived. Note that this will be sent to the ICS 111 lab address (ics111-lab@hawaii.edu). This one is different from the ics111-homework@hawaii.edu. There are two different ones so we can have homework assignments and lab assignments separate.
Here is the URL:

7. Once I (TA) get the e-mail in my account AND I can verify it on the web, your lab assignment will be graded. For grading policies on your lab, click here...
