Write a program that allows students to schedule appointments at either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 o’clock pm. Use an array of six strings to store the names for the time slots. Write a loop that iterates as long as the array has a free space. Within a try block, allow the user to enter a time and a name. If the time is free, put the name in the array. If the time is not free, throw a TimeInUseException. If the time is not valid, throw an InvalidTimeException. Use a catch block for each different kind of exception.
Explanation of Solution
Creating “Main.java”:
- Import required packages.
- Declare the “Main” class.
- Define the “main ()” method.
- Create an object for the “Scanner” class.
- Create a string array to store names.
- Declare a variable “totalAppointments”.
- Do the below steps till “totalAppointments” reaches 6 using “while” condition.
- Get the name from the user.
- Assign “false” to the Boolean variable “flag”.
- Do until “flag” is false using “while” condition.
- Inside “try” block,
- Get the appointment time from the user.
- Check whether the time is less than 1 or greater than 6.
- Throw an exception with a message.
- Check whether “names [appointmentTime]” is not equal to null.
- Throw an exception with a message.
- Assign “name” to the index “names[appointmentTime]”.
- Assign “true” to the variable “flag”.
- Increment the variable “totalAppointments”.
- Catch the exception “InvalidTimeException”.
- Print the message
- Catch the exception “TimeInUseException”.
- Print the message.
- Catch the exception “Exception”.
- Print the message.
- Loop from 1 to 6 using “for” loop.
- Print the makes and time for each person.
- Define the “main ()” method.
Creating “InvalidTimeException.java”:
- Define a class “InvalidTimeException” that extends “Exception”.
- Define a parameterized constructor.
- Call the parent class’s method using “super ()” by passing the message.
- Define a parameterized constructor.
Creating “TimeInUseException.java”:
- Define a class “TimeInUseException” that extends “Exception”.
- Define a parameterized constructor.
- Call the parent class’s method using “super ()” by passing the message.
- Define a parameterized constructor.
Program:
Main.java:
//Import required package
import java.util.*;
//Define the main class
public class Main
{
//Define the main method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//Create an object for the scanner class
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
//Create a string array to store names
String names[] = new String[7];
//Declare a variable
int totalAppointments = 0;
//Do until the value reaches 6
while(totalAppointments < 6)
{
//Get the name from the user
System.out.print("\nWhat is your name? ");
String name = sc.next();
//Declare a Boolean variable
boolean flag = false;
//Do until flag is false
while(!flag)
{
//Try block
try
{
//Get the appointment time from the user
System.out.print("When would you like to make an appointment? ");
int appointmentTime = sc.nextInt();
//Check whether the appointment time is less than 1 or greater than 6
if(appointmentTime < 1 || appointmentTime > 6)
//Throw an exception
throw new InvalidTimeException("Time value not in range");
//Check if the appointment time is already fixed
if (names[appointmentTime] != null)
//Throw an exception
throw new TimeInUseException("appointment already made at that time");
//Save the name at the scheduled time index
names[appointmentTime] = name;
//Assign true
flag = true;
//Increment the variable
totalAppointments ++;
}
//Catch block
catch (InvalidTimeException e)
{
//print the message
System.out.println("Sorry, that is not a legal time");
}
//Catch block
catch (TimeInUseException e)
{
//print the message
System.out.println ("Sorry, that time is already in use");
}
//Catch block
catch (Exception e)
{
//print the message
System.out.println("Bad time format, should just be an integer");
// Use up the rest of the line
sc.nextLine();
}
}
}
//Print the statement
System.out.println("-----------------------------------\nScheduled Time\n\n");
for(int i=1; i<=6; i++)
{
//Print the names and the appointmentTime for each person
System.out.println("At " + i +"PM is " + names[i]);
}
}
}
InvalidTimeException.java:
//Define a class that throws Exception
public class InvalidTimeException extends Exception
{
//Define a parameterized constructor
public InvalidTimeException(String reason)
{
//Call the parent class's method by passing the message
super(reason);
}
}
TimeInUseException.java:
//Define a class that throws Exception
public class TimeInUseException extends Exception
{
//Define a parameterized constructor
public TimeInUseException(String reason)
{
//Call the parent class's method by passing the message
super(reason);
}
}
Output:
What is your name? Charles
When would you like to make an appointment? 6
What is your name? Adams
When would you like to make an appointment? 6
Sorry, that appointmentTime is already in use
When would you like to make an appointment? 5
What is your name? Bekkie
When would you like to make an appointment? 1
What is your name? David
When would you like to make an appointment? 4
What is your name? Sam
When would you like to make an appointment? 3
What is your name? Iris
When would you like to make an appointment? 2
-----------------------------------
Scheduled Time
At 1PM is Bekkie
At 2PM is Iris
At 3PM is Sam
At 4PM is David
At 5PM is Adams
At 6PM is Charles
