Reference: Chapter 3 of the Swing Tutorial book
The assignment:
Make a liquid measure converter that converts either from
the U.S. system to the metric system or vice versa.
This should work like the "Converter" program in the
"Using Models" section of Chapter 3 of the Swing Tutorial book.
The "Converter" program files can be found at:
Converter program files.
Your program should handle milliliters, centiliters, and liters on the
metric side, and gills, pints, quarts, gallons, and hogheads on the
U.S. side. As in the distance converter porgram, you can let the
metric side be the model and the U.S. side be the "follower".
The relevent multipliers are as follows:
milliliters: 0.001
centiliters: 0.01
liters: 1.0
gills: 0.1183
pints: 0.4732
quarts: 0.9464
gallons: 3.7854
hogsheads: 238.48
Of course you should choose names of classes, variables, methods,
etc. to be relevent to this application.
What to turn in:
Turn in the following items from the
Computer Science Lab Report Format:
1. (1 point) The Basic Information (your name, class, section,
TA's name, assignment number, and date) can be on a separate cover sheet or as
(highlighted) comments at the top of your main program file.
11. (4 points) Include the program listing.
This listing should show good style,
be appropriately commented, have the important parts
highlighted, and include handwritten explanations if it helps the
reader's understanding of the code.
13. (5 points) The most important part.
Do demos of your modified program for the TA that demonstrate that
the program works correctly.
