Simulate a simplified Capitaly game in Java. There are some players with different strategies, and a cyclical board with several fields. Players can move around the board, by moving forward with the amount they rolled with a dice. A field can be a property, service, or lucky field. A property can be bought for 1000, and stepping on it the next time the player can build a house on it for 4000. If a player steps on a property field which is owned by somebody else, the player should pay to the owner 500, if there is no house on the field, or 2000, if there is a house on it. Stepping on a service field, the player should pay to the bank (the amount of money is a parameter of the field). Stepping on a lucky field, the player gets some money (the amount is defined as a parameter of the field). There are three different kind of strategies exist. Initially, every player has 10000. Greedy player: If he steps on an unowned property, or his own property without a house, he starts buying it, if he has enough money for it. Careful player: he buys in a round only for at most half the amount of his money. Tactical player: he skips each second chance when he could buy. If a player has to pay, but he runs out of money because of this, he loses. In this case, his properties are lost, and become free to buy. Read the parameters of the game from a text file. This file defines the number of fields, and then defines them. We know about all fields: the type. If a field is a service or lucky field, the cost of it is also defined. After the these parameters, the file tells the number of the players, and then enumerates the players with their names and strategies. In order to prepare the program for testing, make it possible to the program to read the roll dices from the file. Print out which player won the game, and how rich he is (balance, owned properties).
Control structures
Control structures are block of statements that analyze the value of variables and determine the flow of execution based on those values. When a program is running, the CPU executes the code line by line. After sometime, the program reaches the point where it has to make a decision on whether it has to go to another part of the code or repeat execution of certain part of the code. These results affect the flow of the program's code and these are called control structures.
Switch Statement
The switch statement is a key feature that is used by the programmers a lot in the world of programming and coding, as well as in information technology in general. The switch statement is a selection control mechanism that allows the variable value to change the order of the individual statements in the software execution via search.
