Problem Statement

Code a Java program to calculate the value of a word based on the letters and double or triple bonuses.

Letter Values:

0 points: blank

1 point: E, A, I, O, N, R, T, L, S, U

2 points: D, G

3 points: B, C, M, P

4 points: F, H, V, W, Y

5 points: K

8 points: J, X

10 points: Q, Z

• Ask the user to enter a word.
• Use dialog boxes for the user inputs.
• Randomly generate one of the following possibilities. You must use these probabilities.
• No bonus (136/196)
• Double word (16/196)
• - Double letter(24/196) - apply this to a random letter in the user's word.
• Triple word (8/196)
• - Triple letter(12/196) - apply this to a random letter in the user's word.
• Tell the user if they got a bonus, what bonus they got and the points
• Output the random number, so I can see what you generated
• Calculate and display the value of the word
• Show the letter and points for each letter as you add up the value of the word
• Add the word and its value into a .txt file namedgameWord.txt. Accumulate these in the .txt file as long as the user continues to play.
• Continued allowing the user to enter words, until they say they are done.
• At the end, output
• all the words the user entered and their values from your gameWords.txt file
• Number of words played
• Grand total of all the word values
• Add several methods, as you think are appropriate in the program.
• Validateeverythingthe user enters.
• Add copious comments, so that I can follow your logic.
