Assignment 1 Due Sep. 23rd, 2019

Create a program that will format long pieces of text based on user input. User input will determine the number of indents allowed for the first line in each paragraph, the number of characters allowed per line, and the number of sentences allowed per paragraph. There are three pieces of text, where each is a famous speech that is represented by a single String variable at the top of the base file.

Requirements

Your program must take user input and format one of the three speeches along the following criteria. See example run below for expected behavior and output.

 User input 1: Select one of the three speeches at the top of the file to format.
o If something is entered that is not one of the three speeches, inform the user and ask again until

a valid response is given.
o If no answer is given, meaning an empty string or a string with just spaces is entered, inform the

user and ask again until a valid response is given.
 User input 2: Select number of indents allowed for the first line in each paragraph. Range should be

between and include 0 – 2. Expect the user to only enter numbers or blank spaces.
o If number is not with in range, inform the user and ask again.
o If empty string or just spaces is entered, inform the user and ask again.
o Keep in mind an indent (or tab) does count towards the characters allowed per line. For my

console a single tab equals 8 characters.
 User input 3: Select number characters allowed per line when printed to the screen. Range should be

between and include 30 – 120. Expect the user to only enter blank spaces or numbers.
o If number is not within range, inform the user and ask again.
o If empty string or just spaces is entered, inform the user and ask again.
o The number of characters are not allowed to exceed the number selected for each line.
o Words are not allowed to be split between lines. This means if a word causes a single line to

exceed the max amount of characters, the word must be added to the next line.
o All periods, commas, question marks, exclamation points, and any other punctuation count

towards the total number of characters allowed per line.
 User input 4: Select number of sentences allowed per paragraph. Range should be between and include

3 – 8. Expect the user to only enter blank spaces or numbers.
o If number is not within range, inform the user and ask again.
o If empty string is entered, inform the user and ask again.
o A sentence ends with a period, question mark, or exclamation point.
o If there is more than one paragraph, the last paragraph is not required to have the specified

number of sentences. It gets whatever is left.

•  After input 4 is entered, your program should print out the selected speech from input 1 to the console

  in the specified format based on inputs 2,3 and 4.

•  Each speech should end with the writer’s name on a different line. Each name is precluded by “---” at

  the end of each string.

•  User input 5: Would the user like to format another speech.

o If the user does not enter yes or no, inform the user and ask again.

o If empty string is entered, inform the user and ask again.A few extra comments

For all inputs, a user is not allowed to advance to the next input until the current input is valid based on the criteria listed above.

You are allowed to use Integer.ParseInt(String str) to convert a String number to an int number. It is ok if your program crashes using this code when converting a string to an int. Later in the course, we will discuss how to handle such cases using exceptions.

Example using Integer.ParseInt(String str)

String number = “5”;
int x = Integer.ParseInt(number); //This works and will convert a String to an int String notNumber = “hello”;
int y = Integer.parseInt(notNumber); //Crash

When complete, export your Java file to a zip folder and submit it to D2L.

Below is a sample run. I highlighted the user input. The first run is when the user enters everything with no errors. The second run shows how your program should respond when the user enters incorrect values. The third run is another example with no errors.

Please select a speech to format. Choices are Gettysburg, Washington, or Lou: Gettysburg"Gettysburg" is in my memory.
Please enter number of indents per first line, between 0-2: 1
"1" is a valid number.

Please enter number of characters allowed per line, between 30-120: 50"50" is a valid number.
Please enter number of sentences per paragraph, between 3-8: 4
"4" is a valid number.

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives, that that nation might live.

It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they

who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

The great events on which
my resignation depended having at length taken place; I have now the honor of offering my sincere Congratulations to Congress and of presenting myself before them to surrender into their hands the trust committed to me, and to claim the indulgence of retiring from the Service of my Country. Happy in the confirmation of our Independence and Sovereignty, and pleased with the opportunity afforded the United States of becoming a respectable Nation, I resign with satisfaction the Appointment I accepted with diffidence. A diffidence in my abilities to accomplish so arduous a task, which however was superseded by a confidence in the

rectitude of our Cause, the support of the Supreme Power of the Union, and the patronage of Heaven. The Successful termination of the War has verified the most sanguine expectations, and my gratitude for the interposition of Providence, and the assistance I have received from my Country-men, encreases with every review of the momentous Contest. While I repeat my obligations to the Army in general, I should do injustice to my own feelings not to acknowledge in this place the peculiar Services and distinguished merits of the Gentlemen who have been attached to my person during the War.

It was impossible the choice of confidential Officers to compose my family should have been more fortunate. Permit me Sir, to recommend in particular those, who have continued in Service to the present moment, as worthy of the favorable notice and patronage of Congress I consider it an indispensable duty to close this last solemn act of my Official life, by commending the Interests of our dearest Country to the protection of Almighty God, and those who have the superintendence of them, to his holy keeping. Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of Action; and bidding an Affectionate farewell to this August body under whose orders I have so long acted, I here offer my Commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life.

Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of this earth. I have been in ballparks for 17 years and have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans.

Look at these grand men. Which of you wouldn’t consider it the highlight of his career just to associate with them for even one day? Sure, I’m lucky.

Who wouldn’t consider it an honor to have known Jacob Ruppert? Also, the builder of baseball’s greatest empire, Ed Barrow? To have spent six years with that wonderful little fellow, Miller Huggins?

Then to have spent the next nine years with that outstanding leader, that smart student of psychology, the best manager in baseball today, Joe McCarthy? Sure, I’m lucky. When the New York Giants, a team you would give your right arm to beat, and vice versa, sends you a gift — that’s something.

When everybody down to the groundskeepers and those boys in white coats remember you with trophies - that’s something. When you have a wonderful mother-in-law who takes sides with you in squabbles with her own daughter - that’s something. When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it’s a blessing.

When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed — that’s the finest I know. So I close in saying that I may have had a tough break, but I have an awful lot to live for.
