Program Plan Intro

Morse Code Converter

Program Plan:

The detail of “MorseCodeConverter” class is shown below:

• In the “main()” method,
  • Declare the variable.
  • Create an object for Scanner class.
  • Read the string input from the user.
  • Create an object for Morse object to invoke parameterized constructor.
  • Call the getMorseCode() method to display the Morse code.

The detail of “Morse” class is shown below:

• Declare the required variables.
• In the “Morse()” parameterized constructor,
  • Declare and initialize the required variables.
  • The while loop executes until the “index” is less than length of input. If yes,
    • Get the morse code for character and then append it into “mcode” with newline.
    • Increment “index” by “1”.
• In the “toMorse()” method,
  • Declare the variable.
  • The while loop executes until the find character in array. If yes, increment “index” by “1”.
  • Check whether “index” is greater than or equal to “NUM_CHARS”. If yes, set the value as character was not found.
  • Otherwise, get the morse code.
  • Return the morse value.
• In the “getOriginal()” method,
  • Return the original string.
• In the “getOriginal()” method,
  • Return the converted morsecode character.
