Program Plan Intro

Exception Handling

Program Plan:

  • • Declare a function named “main()”.
    • ○ Declare the variable “amount” and assign “0.0” for this variable.
    • ○ Declare the variable “value” and assign “0.0” for this variable.
    • ○ Declare the variable “count” and assign “0”for this variable.
    • ○ Declare a “try” suite.
    • ○ Open the file named “numbers.txt” that is available in disk to read the numbers in the file and store the numbers in the variable “inputfile”.
    • ○ Use the “for” loop to perform the iteration.
      • ■ Increment “count” variable to count the iteration of the loop.
      • ■ Convert the “integer” number stored in the variable “number” to “float” number and assign it to the variable “value”.
      • ■ Add all the values and assign the total to the variable “amount”.
    • ○ Close the file “numbers.txt”.
    • ○ Calculate the average.
    • ○ Display the average of the numbers stored in the variable “average”.
    • ○ If the file named “numbers.txt” is not available in the disk, then it branches to the “IOError” except clause and print the exception handling statement.
    • ○ If the file “numbers.txt” holds the “string” value, then it branches to the “ValueError” except clause and print the exception handling statement.
    • ○ Rather than the above two exceptions, any other exception occurs in the “try” suite; then, it branches to the last “except” clause.
    • ○ Call the function “ main()”.

Please answer Java OOP homework scenario below: You have been hired by the National Insurance Company to create a program to track insurance policies for all its customers. National Insurance provides three types of insurance: automobile, home and life insurance. The program should be able to track up to 100 policies.   Based on the provided information, create an efficient, object-oriented solution with good design principles that will allow a user to manage policies. To do this, the solution should have a menu with the following capabilities: Add Policy o This capability will allow a user to add a policy. The user should specify if the policy is for home, auto, or life. Once the type of policy has been selected, the user should be prompted for all required fields for the policy type. Remove Policy o This capability will allow a user to select any policy and remove it from the list. View policies o This capability will allow a user to see all the policies. All policy fields…
What are the two errors in my pseudocode?Module getAverage(Integer value1, Integer value2, Integer value3)                 Declare Integer average                 average = value1 + value2 + value3 / 3                 Display average            End Module
Where did I make an error in my pseudocode module???Code:Module main()                 Call raiseToPower(2, 1.5)            End main              Module raiseToPower(Real value, Integer power)                 Declare Real result                 Set result = value ^ power                 Display result            End raiseToPower
