Program Plan Intro

Reading the data from the files using “Scanner” class:

  • The user can read data from a file using the object of “Scanner” class.
  • The Scanner object is like a faucet, that the user can attach a pipe that has water flowing through it. The source of the water is different.
  • Normally, the object of “Scanner” constructor is created by passing “System.in” to the Scanner constructor.
  • To create Scanner object for file operation, instead of passing “System.in” to the constructor, user should pass File object.

    File f = new File( "hamlet . txt" );

    Scanner input = new Scanner(f) ;

  • In the above snippet of code, the file object f is created. This file object is passed to the “Scanner” constructor to get the data from the file using the object “input”.
  • When the Scanner object is created, it points to the starting or beginning of the file.
  • The Scanner class cut the line at the blank space and each portion of the line is called as a token.

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
