Description
Write a Java program the displays the State bird and flower. You should use your IDE for this exercise.
You should also use Java classes to their full extent to include multiple methods and at least two classes.
The program should prompt the user to enter a State and print both the State bird and flower. The user
should be able to enter a State without worrying about case. (e.g. Users could enter Maryland,
maryland, MARYLAND or any other possible combination of lower and upper case characters. States
may also contain leading and trailing white spaces. Hint: Store the State information in a multidimensional array. The program should continue to prompt the user to enter a state until “None” is
entered. After all States have been entered by the user, the program should display a summary of the
results. You will need to do some research to find the State birds and flowers. Here is a sample run:
Enter a State or None to exit:
Maryland
Bird: Baltimore Oriole
Flower: Black-eyed Susan
Enter a State or None to exit:
Delaware
Bird: Blue Hen Chicken
Flower: Peach Blossom
Enter a State or None to exit:
None
**** Thank you *****
A summary report for each State, Bird, and Flower is:
Maryland, Baltimore Oriole, Black-eyed Susan
Delaware, Blue Hen Chicken, Peach Blossom

Create a test class that constructs at least 3 States objects. For each of the objects constructed,
demonstrate the use of each of the methods. Be sure to use your IDE to accomplish this assignment.
The google recommended Java style guide, provided as link in the week 2 content, should be used to
format and document your code. Specifically, the following style guide attributes should be addressed:
Header comments include filename, author, date and brief purpose of the program.
In-line comments used to describe major functionality of the code.
Meaningful variable names and prompts applied.
Class names are written in UpperCamelCase.
Variable names are written in lowerCamelCase.
Constant names are in written in All Capitals.
Braces use K&R style.
Submission requirements
Deliverables include all Java files (.java) and a single word (or PDF) document. The Java files should be
named appropriately for your applications. The word (or PDF) document should include screen captures
showing the successful compiling and running of each of the test cases. Each screen capture should be
properly labeled clearly indicated what the screen capture represents. The test cases table should be
included in your word or PDF document and properly labeled as well.
Submit your files to the Homework 4 assignment area no later than the due date listed in your LEO
classroom. You should include your name and HW4 in your word (or PDF) file submitted (e.g.
firstnamelastnamehw4.docx or firstnamelastnamehw4.pdf)
Grading Rubric:
The following grading rubric will be used to determine your grade:
Attribute Meets Does not meet
StatesDataEntry Class 10 points
The program prompts the user
to enter a State and prints both
the State bird and flower.
State data entry is case
insensitive.
States data may also contain
leading and trailing white
spaces.
The program continues to
prompt the user to enter a state
until “None” is entered.
After all data has been entered
by the user, the program
displays a summary report of all
state requests.
An IDE (Netbeans or Eclipse)
was used for this assignment.
0 points
The program does not prompt
the user to enter a State and
prints both the State bird and
flower.
State data entry for case
insensitive input are not
handled properly.
States data containing leading
and trailing white spaces are
not handled properly.
The program does not continue
to prompt the user to enter a
state until “None” is entered.
After all data has been entered
by the user, the program does
not display a summary report of
all state requests.
An IDE (Netbeans or Eclipse)
was not used for this
assignment.
Test StatesDataEntry Class 5 points 0 points
Test class was used to construct
at least 3 States objects.
For each of the objects
constructed, the use of each of
the methods was demonstrated
An IDE (Netbeans or Eclipse)
was used for this assignment.
Test class was not used to
construct at least 3 States
objects.
For each of the objects
constructed, the use of each of
the methods was not
demonstrated
An IDE (Netbeans or Eclipse)
was not used for this
assignment.
Test Cases 5 points
A minimum of 3 test cases was
used in the form of table with
columns indicating the input
values, expected output, actual
output and if the test case
passed or failed. The table
should contains 4 columns with
appropriate labels and a row for
each test case.
Test cases were included in the
supporting word or PDF
documentation.
0 points
No test cases were provided.
Documentation and Style guide 5 points
Screen captures were provided
and labeled for compiling your
code, and running each of your
5 test cases.
Header comments include
filename, author, date and brief
purpose of the program.
In-line comments used to
describe major functionality of
the code.
Meaningful variable names and
prompts applied.
0 points
No documentation included
Java style guide was not used to
prepare the Java code.
Class names are written in
UpperCamelCase.
Variable names are written in
