Professor Potter, a punning pedantic, practices puzzling her students. She has left a secret message, of unknown length, encoded in a file for you to unravel. The setup is simple: each line of the file contains one char and one non-negative integer. The key to reading the message is organizing the characters in the proper order. The integer indicates the position of the character within the message. For example: e 2 b 1 a 3 h 5 c 4 spells 'beach' when unraveled. Write a program that will: Ask the user for the name of a file Check to see that the file exists and contains some data. Open and read this file exactly once Using your MessageDecoder class, unravel and display the message Offer to do it again on another file Required classes: You will create and submit 2 classes: MessageDecoder class: Responsible for converting a scrambled message file into plain text. Contains a public method getPlainTextMessage() that returns the String object. The scrambled file must be scanned only once and must be scanned inside this class. Must utilize the linked list data structure to accomplish the decoding work. Does not call any methods of SecretMessage class SecretMessage class: Contains the main() method All of printing to console must be done in this class All of user input from the keyboard must be performed in this class Uses the public methods of your MessageDecoder class to accomplish the decoding.
