LdsTool

Synopsis

The goal of this project was first and for most to practice skills for my coding class. The second function of this project was to create a tool that is to set achievable goals for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Motivation

My desire to create this code came from my desire to set and achieve realistic goals. This is something that I have learned as a member of the LDS faith. After some brief searching, I found LDS apps that helped members to set goals, but not to show what efforts would be needed on a daily and weekly basis to achieve that goal. So, I decided to make the beginnings of a simple tool that would allow members to set goals for scripture reading, family history, and temple work. The code has users input the quantity and the time and then relates what amount of each goal must be achieved on a daily and weekly basis.

How to Run

You will need the ability to run Java programs in a console.

Code Example

This code snippet shows how the user can enter input for one tool and then exit to the menu to select an additional tool.

public static void main(String[] args) {
		int exit = 0;
				while (exit < 1){
				Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
				int user = 0;
				user = prompt();
				
					while (user != 1 && user != 2 && user !=3){
						System.out.println("Not a valid input");
						 user = prompt();
					}
					
				calculate(user);
				System.out.print("Enter '1' to exit. Enter '0' to input new data: ");
				exit = input.nextInt();
				}
	}

Tests

I used JUnit4 to test the value returning methods in the program.

@Test
	public void testcalculatepagesperday() {
		assertEquals(finalTool.calculatePagesPerDay(10, 20, 2), 5, .0001);
		assertEquals(finalTool.calculatePagesPerDay(10, 50, 5), 8, .0001);
		assertEquals(finalTool.calculatePagesPerDay(15, 100, 8), 10.625, .0001);
