Books Series, Price, Condition and Buyer Database
Problem Description
You are going to write a java assignment program that reads book price data from a file, performs some computations, and displays a table of cost data.
Input: The file contains, on the first line, the title of the book. On the second line, it contains the base price for a new copy of the book.
The rest of the file consists of lines in this format:
• Name of seller
• Shipping cost
• Quality of book (1 = new, 2 = like new, 3 = very good, 4 = good, 5 = acceptable)
You may not assume that the file exists. You may not assume that it contains any text. If it exists and contains text, it might contain the title and base price of a new copy of the book (the header information) only, or it might contain the header information and any number of complete records. You may assume that the header information, if present, is complete. You may assume that each record, if present, is complete. You may assume the correct data type for all data in the file.
Output: You will display the title of the book and a table that includes a header and an output line for each record from the file (seller, shipping, quality) which is the seller, the quality of the book, the cost of the book, and the cost of the book plus shipping.
Interface: Your program should prompt for the name of the input file using the following prompt:
• What is the name of the file?
Your program should use the following error message if the file is not found.
• The file was not found.
Your program should use the following message if the file is empty. (Substitute the name of the file provided by the user.)
• empty.txt is empty.
If the file contains the header record only, the program should produce the following output (header information read from the file is underlined).
There are no copies of Turing's Vision: The Birth of Computer Science for sale.
For a file that contains a header plus seller records, the output should be formatted as follows. Cost and Cost + Shipping will be shown in two decimal places. The seller column should have a width of 30 characters. All other columns have a width of 20 characters.
Design specifications: Use console and text file input and console output.
Do not, under any circumstances, use System.exit. Design your methods to have one return statement. The main method should have no return statements. Use break only in switch statements. Do not submit code that uses these constructs (or other code that breaks out of a logical structure) inappropriately. Submit whatever you can write that does not include these constructs.
For this program, you must write (and use) the following two methods:
• calculateCost
calculateCost takes two parameters – the base cost of the book (double), and the quality (int)
calculateCost returns the adjusted cost of the book (double) according to this formula:
A “new” book’s cost is the base cost. A “like new” book’s cost is base cost – 10%. A “very good” book’s cost is base cost – 20%. A “good” book’s cost is base cost – 25%. An acceptable book’s cost is base cost – 30%. So, for example, if a book’s base cost is $25.99 and it’s in good condition, its cost is $25.99 – 25% of 25.99, or $19.49.
• getQualityString
getQualityString takes one parameter – the quality of the book (int) getQualityString returns the appropriate string (String) based on the quality (e.g. for a quality of 1, getQualityString should return “New”)
