Question

Write a program that prompts the user for a bearing from 0 to 359 and prints the corresponding letter of the compass point nearest to the bearing. Bearings exactly halfway between two compass points should produce either N or S (never E or W). The program should loop until the user enters -1, all other values that are not 0 – 359 should produce an error message.

@extrinix are coding?

Answer 4

It should be something roughly similar to this, given from OpenStudy's original post on it. This will have to be transformed into Java though for your purposes.

input bearing # integer in [0 .. 359]
case bearing in [315, 45] then
print 'N'
case bearing in [46, 124] then
print 'E'
case bearing in [125, 225] then
print 'S'
case bearing in [226, 314] then
print 'W'
else
print 'ERROR'

this is what the code in non java form looks like... but ill convert it to java form

Answer 5

how do you convert it into java

Answer 9

You can use the java class Scanner to read in input from the user. Walkthrough here: https://careerkarma.com/blog/java-input/#:~:text=The%20Scanner%20class%20is%20used%20to%20read%20Java,so%20it%20can%20be%20stored%20or%20otherwise%20manipulated.
In order to check the cases as Extrinix described, you'd probably want switch-case statements. Walkthrough here: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/switch.html
