Intro To Java OOP Homework 1

This document provides instructions for a homework assignment to create a SimpleGame class in Java. The class must contain two methods: convertTime(), which converts seconds to a hours:minutes:seconds format, and digitsSum(), which calculates the sum of the digits in an integer. Main() is partially implemented to test the methods. Students are provided method signatures and javadocs to understand the requirements but must write the method implementations. Tips on relevant Java concepts like modulus, string conversions, and character extraction from strings are also included. Students should implement the methods in SimpleGame.java and submit it for automated testing and evaluation.

Homework 1 : Simple Game 


 
 
This assignment is designed to give you practice writing code and applying lessons and 
topics for the current module. 
 
This homework deals with the following topics: 
 
● The Java Language 
● Classes 
 
 
The Assignment 
 
In this assignment, you will implement a simple game in a class called SimpleGame. This 
game has 2 options for the user playing. Based on user input, the user can choose to either 
convert time​, from seconds to hours, minutes, and seconds, or c​ alculate the sum of all digits 
in an integer​.   
 
At the beginning of the game, the user will be prompted to input either 1 ​ ​ or 2
​ ​, to indicate 
which option of the game they want to play. 1 ​ ​ will indicate converting time, and 2 ​ ​ will indicate 
calculating the sum of digits in an integer. 
 
For converting time, the user will be prompted to input a number of seconds (as an int) and the 
program will call a method that will convert the seconds to time, in the format 
hours:minutes:seconds, and print the result. For example, if the user enters 6 ​ 734​, the program 
will print the time, 1
​ :52:14​. 
 
For calculating the sum of digits in an integer, the user will be prompted to input a number (as 
an int) and the program will call a method to calculate the sum of the digits in that number, 
and print the result. For example, if the user enters ​321​, the program will print the sum, 6 ​ ,​  
because the individual digits in the number add up to 6. 3 ​ + 2 + 1 = 6​. 
 
There are 2 methods that need to be implemented in the SimpleGame class: 
 
● convertTime(int seconds) - Method that converts a given number of seconds to time in 
the format hours:minutes:seconds. 
● digitsSum(int input) - Method that adds all the digits in a given positive integer. 
 
 
Introduction to Java & Object Oriented Programming
 

Each  method  has  been  defined  for  you,  but without the code. See the javadoc for each method 


for  instructions  on  what  the  method  is  supposed  to  do and how to write the code. It should be 
clear  enough.  In  some  cases,  we  have  provided  hints  and  example  method  calls  to  help  you 
get started. 
 
For example, we have defined a “convertTime” method for you (see below) which converts a 
given seconds value to time. For now, the method returns a null value as a placeholder. Read 
the javadoc, which explains what the method is supposed to do. Then write your code where it 
says “// TODO” to implement the method and replace the placeholder. You’ll do this for each 
method in the program. 

/**
* Write a method to convert the given seconds to
hours:minutes:seconds.
* @param seconds to convert
* @return string for the converted seconds in the format: 23:59:59
* Example: If input seconds is 1432, print and return output in the
format: 0:23:52
*/
public String convertTime(int seconds){
// ​TODO​: Your code goes here
return null;
}
 
We’ll run Java tests against your program to test whether each method implementation is 
correct and whether you have considered enough cases. Examples of cases have been 
provided in the javadocs. 
 
The main method ​has not been completely implemented for you​ (see example below). You’ll 
need to write code (where it says “// TODO”) to use it to run and interact with your program, 
and to see if your methods are working as expected. Spend some time on testing. 

public static void main(String[] args) {


// Create an instance of the SimpleGame class.
// ​TODO​: Your code goes here

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

// Ask the user which game to play.


// Then ask the user for input and pass the value to the
corresponding method.
 
Introduction to Java & Object Oriented Programming
 

// If the user enters 1, ask for an integer to convert and call


the convertTime method.
// If the user enters 2, ask for an integer and call the
digitsSum method.

// ​TODO​: Your code goes here

sc.close();
}
 
 
Tips for this Assignment 
 
In this assignment, some tips are given as follows: 
 
● Modulus operation in Java: 
“%” is the modulus operator in Java. It returns the remainder, after division. 
For example:  
int result1 = 4 % 2; //result1 is 0
int result2 = 1000 % 90; //result2 is 10
● int to String conversion in Java: 
There are multiple ways to convert​ ​an int to a String. 
○ Use “Integer.toString(int)” 
For example:  
int num = 9;
String str = Integer.toString(num); //str is “9” 
○ Use “String.valueOf(int)” 
For example: 
int num = 9;
String str = String.valueOf(num); //str is “9” 
● String to int conversion in Java: 
○ Use “Integer.parseInt(str)” 
For example:  
String str="0";
int num = Integer.parseInt(str); //num is 0 
● Getting a specific char in a String by index in Java: 
○ Use “charAt(int)” 
For example:  
String str = "cit";
char firstChar = str.charAt(0); //firstChar is ‘c’

Submission 
 
To complete the assignment, write the program as described in S​ impleGame.java​ and 
implement the methods in it. Do not modify the name of the methods in S​ impleGame.java ​or 
the automated testing will not recognize it. Submit the completed program using the steps 
outlined in the assignment in Coursera. 
 
 
Evaluation  
 
Points:​ Each method is worth 10 points.
