Texting Translator

Lab 2.2: Texting Translator

• For this assignment, we are going to work with adding and removing data from arrays, linear search, and File I/O.
• This program will act as a texting to English converter
• This program will read a file containing a list of abbreviations used in texting and another file with their English translations.
• The abbreviations and translations need to be stored in two separate but parallel arrays (Links to an external site.).
• In other words, the indices of the abbreviations array will match the indices of the translations array.
• Thus the abbreviation at index 0, will match the translation at index 0, etc
• Open up two new text files inside of Eclipse:
• Name these text files abbreviations.txt and translations.txt
• Copy and paste the following list of names into your abbreviations.txt file:

4 cu ikr k l8 l8r lmk m8 nvm r smh u ur wu

• Copy and paste the following list of translations into your translations.txt file:

for see you I know right? okay late later let me know mate never mind are shaking my head you you are what's up?

• Read the contents of each file and store them in a separate arrays, one array called abbrevations and one array called translations .
• You should declare arrays of length 150, and separately store information about the current number of values stored inside of the two arrays.
• Hint: you can use a variable to count how many values are in each file as you are reading in the data, and use this information to save the number of values currently stored in each array.
• Next, you will need to write a menu-driven program to allow the user to complete 3 tasks:
  • Add an Abbreviation
  • Remove an Abbreviation
  • Search for a Translation
  • Exit
• For the add menu option , the program should do the following:
  • Prompt the user for an abbreviation and its transation to insert, and a position in the arrays at which to insert.
  • Call the insert method twice to insert the name and score into the respective arrays at the indicated position (index).
• For the remove menu option , the program should do the following:
  • Prompt the user for the abbreviation to remove.
  • Next, call linearSearch to determine at which index in the array the abbreviation is placed
  • Confirm that it has located the correct abbreviation in the array by verifying the user wishes to remove the abbreviation.
  • Finally, call the remove method to remove both the abbreviation from the abbreviations array and the translation from the translations array
• For the search for a translation menu option, the program should do the following:
  • Prompt the user for the abbreviation.
  • Next, call linearSearch to determine at which index in the array the abbreviation is placed
  • Print the translation that is located at that same index.
• For the exit menu option , the program should do the following:
  • Prompt the user to enter the name of a file in which to print the abbreviations and translations
  • call the printFile method passing in the name of the indicated file

• To begin, copy and paste the starter code into a file called TextTrans.java
• Make sure that you implement and call all of the methods whose signatures are specified below
• Note that you made add any additional methods that you like to complete the program
• When your program is working correctly, upload it to Canvas.
