The purpose of this exercise is
- Practice programming: switch-case
Instructions:
Your GTA will lead you through the following:
Fortune Teller
Write a program that asks the user for any number and displays one of five different fortunes
based on the remainder obtained when the number is divided by 5. Note that when any number
is divided by 5, there can be only 5 remainders, which are 0,1,2,3,4. Corresponding to
those numbers there are 5 different fortunes, which you are free to choose! Your program
will output the appropriate fortune, given a number.
First write a program Lab7IfElse.java that uses if-else statement to implement the above.
Then write another program Lab7SwitchCase.java that uses switch-case statement to implement the same.
Example
Suppose, for the numbers 0,1,2,3,4 we have the following 5 fortunes to display:
| 0 | Giving will make you smile |
| 1 | Absence makes the heart grow fonder |
| 2 | Keep your friends close and your enemies closer |
| 3 | Let your heart guide you |
| 4 | Don't be so hard on yourself, we all make mistakes |
Below are a number of sample outputs from the program :
Enter a number : 56
Your today's fortune is : Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Enter a number : 34
Your today's fortune is : Don't be so hard on yourself, we all make mistakes
Enter a number : 1897
Your today's fortune is : Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
You must show your GTA your work to get credit for this lab completion.
