Java-Assignment-005 - Switch it Up

Part 1: - Tracing the Code

As a new Java developer, you will be required to familiarize yourself with existing code before beginning to develop. That's what this section is about, developing your code tracing skills and familiarizing yourself with parts you may be able to use.

• Scan through all the existing code and note what you have to work with.
  • Method names
  • Variables
• Using Java terminology, break down every piece of the method convertF2K.
  • What is the access modifier?
  • Is it a class or object method, how do you know?
  • What is its return type?
  • What parameters does it require, and what are the parameter(s) datatype(s)?
  • Describe for me how the body of the method executes (i.e. its flow of execution).
• Using Java terminology, break down method getUnitChoice.
  • What is the access modifier?
  • Is it a class or object method, how do you know?
  • What is its return type?
  • What parameters does it require, and what are the parameter(s) datatype(s)?
  • Describe for me how the body of the method executes (i.e. its flow of execution).
  • How do the format specifiers differ than what you've seen before and what do they do?

Part 2: - Implement Missing Method: convertK2F

This Part is aimed at teaching you to use methods and code you have to add new functionality to existing code. In this case you will add the missing conversion method, but you don't need to know math :-)

• Hint: You can use existing methods!

Part 3: - Switch it Up

Part 3 is all about learning how to use the switch conditional statement, or the enhanced switch statement. You've learned about if/else now you will learn about switch.

• Using the provided method and class variables, write a program in the while loop of the main method that:

  • Requests a temperature Unit to convert from

  • Requests a temperature Unit to convert to

  • Quits the program if Q is entered for either choice

  • Requests the double temperature value to convert

  • Uses a switch or enhanced switch conditional to call the proper conversion method.

  • Prints out the result as indicated below:

    Result 40.000000°C is 104.000000°F
    

Part 4: Pull Request

Part 4, as usual, is repetition of duties you will be doing in industry.

• Make sure to use the Git tab at the bottom of IntelliJ to create a Feature1 feature branch
• Commit and Push your running code back to your GitHub account
• Issue a Pull request back to my Java-Assignment-005 repo
• Cut and Paste the Pull request URL into your Canvas assignment to turn it in.
