Question

using java language "Data Structures"

I have to write program which stores string entered by user into cursor array implementation

here is the code

public static void main(String[] args) {

CursorArray sorted =new CursorArray();//the strings must added here how can i store them
         
       String []inputs = new String[50];
          
       for (int i=0; i< 50; i++) {
           System.out.println("Enter the words you want to sort and use exit to stop");
           if(input.next().equals("exit"))
               break;
       inputs[i] = input.nextLine();
       }
}   
      

you can put the code of reading in a method

and this is part of cursor class

public class CursorArray {

   Node[] cursorArray = new Node[10];

   public int initialization() {

       for (int i = 0; i < cursorArray.length - 1; i++) {

           cursorArray[i] = new Node(null, i + 1);
       }
       cursorArray[cursorArray.length - 1] = new Node(null, 0);
       return 0;
   }

   public int malloc() {
       int p = cursorArray[0].next;
       cursorArray[0].next = cursorArray[p].next;
       return p;
   }

   public void free(int p) {
       cursorArray[p] = new Node(null, cursorArray[0].next);
       cursorArray[0].next = p;
   }

}

public class Node {
  
  
   String data;
   int next; //index

   public Node(String data, int next) {
       this.data = data;
       this.next = next;
}

}

Answer 1

as per the requirements of question, the question had been answered.

only taking user input and storing the strings in CursorArray by initialization method

Raw_code:

Driver.java:

import java.util.Scanner; // import Scanner class for taking user input

public class Driver{
public static void main(String[] args){
// creating Scanner object on standard input stream
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
CursorArray sorted = new CursorArray();//the strings must added here how can i store them

String []inputs = new String[50];

for (int i=0; i< 50; i++) {
System.out.println("Enter the words you want to sort and use exit to stop");
if(input.next().equals("exit"))
break;
inputs[i] = input.nextLine();
}
// calling initialization method of CursorArray object with inputs(string array) as argument   
sorted.initialization(inputs);
}
}

// if you want to added the strings through constructor of CursorArray then just replace method name intialization to CursorArray and truncate the return type int
