First Java Assignment

Work in groups of two people. Write a program in Java to print out 2 lines. Each team member will write a user story for their partner and then code the story that their partner gives them. The master programmer will put the two programs together so the first story runs and then the second one runs. Remember to use the HELP board if you have trouble. Instructions for downloading BLUEJ are in the syllabus.

Here are the steps:

1) Write a story that describes what the user should see when they run this program. It is just 2 lines the program should print. (You should have finished this in class.)

2) Give your story to your partner by replying to your names on the moodle discussion board.

3) Design and code your partner's story. (Each person will code their teammate's story.)

• Please create your class name as the names of the team members. (ex: If I worked with Mary Jones, my class name would be: KrisPepperAndMaryJones)
• Please create a main method and a method named with your name. (ex: I would have 2 methods, main and pepper)
• Please print the story using System.out.println("whatever you want to print") inside the method named with your name. (ex: I would put all the print commands inside the pepper method.)

4) Test your own method to see it prints what it should.

5) Give the finished program to the master programmer for this assignment (and this position should rotate for the next assignment). Copy and paste all your code into a reply on the discussion board.

6) The master programmer will merge the two by doing the following:

• Please find your partners posted code on the discussion board.
• Copy the method that has all the print commands right after your print method ends.
  • ex: If Mary Jones had posted: public static void mary(){System.out.println("Programming will be like solving a puzzle."); System.out.println("and I love doing puzzles");} I would put all that before my last }
• Change your main method to call your partner's method after your own
  • ex: In my main method, I would add a call to mary() right after the call I already had to pepper(). My program would then look like:

    public class KrisPepperAndMaryJones {
    public static void main() {
    pepper();
    mary();
    } // closes the main method
    public static void pepper() {
    System.out.println("I am looking forward to learning to program");
    System.out.printn("Java is better than a cup of coffee.");
    } // closes the pepper method
    public static void mary(){
    System.out.println("Programming will be like solving a puzzle.");
    System.out.println("and I love doing puzzles");
    } // closes the mary method
    } // closes the class
    

7) Master programmer will upload the .java file or copy the code into notepad and upload the txt file in moodle. (Please don't use Word, though I will accept it if you cannot find notepad or the java file.)
