Lab 9 - Switch Statements - June 24

This lab will help the student by:

To practice switch statements

Instructions:

To receive credit for this lab assignment, you must be finished by Tuesday, June 24, at 11:59 p.m. After this time you will not receive any credit.

1. Login to UNIX

2. Create and edit a file called 'LabX.java' (substitute the lab number for X- where is the number of the lab- such as 'Lab1.java') in Pico, then compile and run the program.

Do the following:

request/read one number from the user
If the input is not a number the program should exit gracefully.
The numbers will be printed out so the user will see what he/she input
validate that the number is between [1..10]
spell the number if the number is [1..10]
If the number is greater than 10 or smaller than 1 then print a message saying that it is an invalid entry.
All the information should be validated (catch the possible NumberFormatExceptions)
use a switch statement AND NO 'if' statements, this will help you see how useful the "default" statement is.
Note: If the program doesn't compile or if the program crashes you will get no credit
Use javadoc style to write your program: Refer to the Java Coding Standard and make sure your code adheres to its rules.

3. Get into Pine and attach the file to an e-mail and send the e-mail / file to the ics111-lab@hawaii.edu account.

Your e-mail should have the following subject: labX / lastname / section (X should be substituted for the lab number [such as lab 1], lastname should be substituted for your lastname, section should be substituted with the A for the afternoon section and M for the morning section) Not following this standard will result in a deduction of points.
control <J>, then control <T> allows you to browse and pick the file that you wish to attach

4. Check the webpage to make sure that the e-mail arrived.

Here is the URL:
http://www2.hawaii.edu/~tp_200/bmf/ics111-lab.html

5. Once I (TA) get the e-mail in my account AND I can verify it on the web, you will receive your lab participation point. For grading policies on your lab, click here...
