This step introduces a way to write, keep and check your exercises on IntelliJ.
For each exercise, you should write the code in its own method and give it a similar method header to this, where X is the number of the exercise:
private void exerciseX()
Don’t delete any of the exercise code you write in this lab, make sure you start a new method for each exercise, using the above approach.
Perform these steps:
-
In IntelliJ, create a new Project called ArrayExercises.
-
Create a new class in this Project called Driver. Within this class, declare a Scanner object called input and also create a new main method with the following code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Driver();
}
public Driver(){
exercise1();
}
-
In Driver, write a method exercise1 that will read in 6 integers into an integer array and then print out the values to the screen.
-
Run your code to see does it work as expected.
Note how, at the start of the exercise1 method, we briefly printed out what the exercise is doing too.
import java.util.*;
public class Driver {
private Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Driver();
}
public Driver(){
exercise1();
}
public void exercise1() {
System.out.println("Exercise 1: reads in 6 integers into an integer array and prints the values to the screen.");
int[] numbers = new int[6];
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length ; i++) {
System.out.print("Enter value : ");
numbers[i] = input.nextInt();
}
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length ; i++) {
System.out.println("value " + (i+1) + " is: " + numbers[i]);
}
}
}
