State bird

State bird

(25 points) Write a Java program the displays the State bird and flower. You should use your IDE for this exercise. The program should prompt the user to enter a State and print both the State bird and flower. The user should be able to enter a State without worrying about case. (e.g. Users could enter Maryland, maryland, MARYLAND or any other possible combination of lower and upper case characters. States may also contain leading and trailing white spaces. Hint: Store the State information in a multi- dimensional array. The program should continue to prompt the user to enter a state until “None” is entered. You will need to do some research to find the State birds and flowers. Here is a sample run:

Enter a State or None to exit:
Maryland
Bird: Baltimore Oriole
Flower: Black-eyed Susan
Enter a State or None to exit:
Delaware
Bird: Blue Hen Chicken
Flower: Peach Blossom
Enter a State or None to exit:
None

Java Style Guide (5 points)

(5 points)

Code impeccably neat and well-organized.

Extensive In-line comments providing additional insight into code design and functionality

(3-4 points)

Header comments include filename, author, date and brief purpose of the program.

In-line comments used to describe major functionality of the code.

Meaningful variable names and prompts applied.

Class names are written in UpperCamelCase.

Variable names are written in lowerCamelCase.

(0-2 points)

Code rarely follows recommended Java style guide

2

Braces use K&R style.

Submission requirements:

Your deliverables include all Java files (.java) and a single word (or PDF) document. The Java files should be named appropriately for your applications. Your word document should include screen shots showing the successful compiling and running of each application, and a detailed description of the test plan for each application. The screen shots should document your use of the IDE. The test plan should include the input, expected output, actual output and if the test case passed or failed.
