Method.. (In Java Language)

Question

Write a method readEduLevel that will only accept the character 'P', 'O', 'A' and 'T' which stands for "Primary", "O-level", "A-level" and "Tertiary". Lowercase is also acceptable but uppercase will be returned.

Can someone help me on this..? So, I can do other similar questions... Thanks.

Answer 1

import java.util.Scanner;

class TEST {





private char readEduLevel(){



// define the input type (in our case, keyboard input)

Scanner scInput = new Scanner(System.in);



System.out.print("Enter Education Level: ");



// get the user input from the keyboard

String strKey = scInput.nextLine();



// check if the entered character is a valid edu level

if(strKey.equalsIgnoreCase("P") ||

strKey.equalsIgnoreCase("O") ||

strKey.equalsIgnoreCase("A") ||

strKey.equalsIgnoreCase("T")){



// return the uppercase letter of the valid input

return strKey.toUpperCase().charAt(0);

} else {

// return * to know that the inputted value is invalid

return '*';

}

}

public static void main(String[] strArgs){

TEST t = new TEST();



// call the method to let the user input a value

char chValue = t.readEduLevel();



System.out.println("The return value is: " + chValue);

}
