Goal: Create and execute a switch statement and an if-else-if operation in Java, using the three simple tools: (1) a text editor, (2) the Java compiler and (3) the Java interpreter.

This lab focuses on developing a simple program on your own using the switch statement and modifying the program to use an if-else-if statement(s).

Programming Activity: THEORY

The general format of the switchstatement is given below.

if (expression_1)

{

statement;

statement;

etc.

}

else if (expression_2)

{

statement;

statement;

etc.

}

Insert as many else if clauses as necessary

else

{

statement;

statement;

etc.

}

The general format of the switch statement is given below.

switch (SwitchExpression)

{

case CaseExpression:

// place one or more statements here

break;

case CaseExpression:

// place one or more statements here

break;

// case statements may be repeated

//as many times as necessary

default:

// place one or more statements here

}

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

In this lab, you will write a program called DaysWeek.java. Write a program to prompt a letter from the user. Use a decision structure on the letter to decide the day of the week that begins with the letter. Recall: Logical operators, use the keyword break in the switch statement after each decision. Use the steps given below as a guide to write your program. Steps:-Create and import your Scanner object.-Create your class header and main method.-Use a System.out.printlnto display the following greeting to the user. Select a day of the week. Enter the first letter: M or m for Monday, T or t for Tuesday and Thursday, etc.

See sample output below. -Prompt the user for a letter. Scanner does not have a next Char()method so youll need to get the letter as a String -If the user enters more than one letter, use a String method to filter the first letter entered(refer: PetFood.java).-Create if else if statements testing the variable containing the letter.-Of the 7 days in a week, only 5letters are used as the first letter of the week (M, T, W, F, S).-For the 5 letters, both upper and lowercase letters must be taken as valid input. You will need a Logical Operator to tests multiple conditions.-Depending on the letter entered, output the day or days that begin with that letter. If an s or Sis entered your code should display The days that begin with an S are Saturday and Sunday.

-The else part should display the message, There is no day that begins with that letter. Run your code testing each of the letters: M t F and v

Sample Output:

C:\Users\AH>java Days Week Select a day of the week.

Enter the first letter: M or m for Monday, T or t for Tuesday and Thursday, etc.

M

The day that begins with m or M is Monday.

C:\Users\AH>java DaysWeek

Select a day of the week.

Enter the first letter: M or m for Monday, T or t for Tuesday and Thursday, etc.

t

The days that begin with the letter t or T are Tuesday and Thursday.

C:\Users\AH>java DaysWeekSelect a day of the week.

Enter the first letter: M or m for Monday, T or t for Tuesday and Thursday, etc.

F

The day that begins with f or F is Friday.

C:\Users\AH>java DaysWeekSelect a day of the week.

Enter the first letter: M or m for Monday, T or t for Tuesday and Thursday, etc.

v

There is no day that begins with this letter.

C:\Users\AH>Return to the code:-Comment out the if else if statements. -Use a switch statement to recreate the same decision structure as the if else if statement you commented out.-Remember to account for both upper and lowercase letters for the 5 letters used. -The default of the switch should output There is no day that begins with this letter.
