CISS-110 Project 6

For this project you will continue to work with files. The file format will be a series of numbers that could be binary, octal, decimal or hexadecimal.

Learning outcomes

  • Implementing user-defined methods.
  • Working with regular expressions.
  • Working with files.
  • Using Scanner with files.
  • More work with Integer.parseInt().
  • Confirmation program produces desired results.

Create methods to perform the identification of numbers. Perhaps each method could be an “is” method like isBinary, isOctal, isDecimal, isHexadecimal. Each of these will take a value of type String and returns a boolean. Remember that each number can qualify for multiple classifications.

In addition to the four methods noted above, create one more method called baseConvert which is responsible for taking the number as a String along with the radix of the number and printing its base and value.

Using a new matches() method from the String class, you will be able to identify certain patterns in strings. This will be discussed during lecture.

The following patterns are provided for identification:

Binary      ->   [01]+
Octal       ->   [0-7]+
Decimal     ->   [0-9]+
Hexadecimal ->   [0-9a-fA-F]+

Using the following data for your input file:

210 134
998 a34
A0 87
2398 10010 101
10
DeAd beEF

Example output provided shows the first sentence provided by main() and the second sentence by baseConvert(). Your program will produce the following output to the screen:
