Texting Translator

(JAVA)

AVOID USING BREAKS, CATCH, AND CASE!!!!

Texting Translator

• For this assignment, we are going to work with adding and removing data from arrays, linear search, and File I/O.
• This program will act as a texting to English converter
• This program will read a file containing a list of abbreviations used in texting and another file with their English translations.
• The abbreviations and translations need to be stored in two separate but parallel arrays (Links to an external site.).
• Open up two new text files inside of Eclipse:
• Name these text files abbreviations.txt and translations.txt

Copy and paste the following list of names into your abbreviations.txt file:

4
cu
ikr
k
l8
l8r
lmk
m8
nvm
r
smh
u
ur
wu

Copy and paste the following list of translations into your translations.txt file:

for

I know right?
