CSCE 145: Homework 1

1. Use Java to write and run a simple console-window program for checking passwords. The program must satisfy the following requirements:

· When the program runs, it should first print its name, e.g., Password Checker

· The program should next prompt the user to enter a username, e.g.,
Please enter your username:

· The program should next prompt the user to enter a password, e.g.,
Please enter your password:

· If the user enters a correct password, i.e., one that matches an internal secret password, the program responds
You are approved by access control!, and quits.

· If the user enters an incorrect password, the program responds
Sorry, and quits.

2. Your source code must conform to the following style:

· There must be a header that contains: (1) your name as author, (2) the date the program was written, (3) the version number of the program, and (4) a short description of the purpose of the program. This is an opportunity for you to be creative, and no two headers should be alike. For example,

/**
* @author Dr. Michael N. Huhns *
* @version 1.2, 20 August 2011 *
* This program confirms a password typed into a *
* console window *
*/

· The source code must be indented properly and contain comments that describe the important parts of the algorithm.

3. Upload a copy of your source code to the CSCE 145 dropbox at https://dropbox.cse.sc.edu.

4. The grades for this assignment will be based on the following

30%	Style: comments and indentation
70%	Functionality: Does it compile? Does it run? Does it work for all inputs?
