You have been contracted to create a Java application that prints out the
numbers between 0 and 9 as corresponding to key presses on the
keyboard. You have to make use of a switch statement that defaults to,
“no number detected “in the event the user prints a non-numeric key.
Thus, create:
Create a NumberPressed class [1]
Variable int for input [2]
Switch statement implementation [9]
Escape sequence keyword definitions [6]
Prompting user inputs [2]
Printing of resulting feedback [3]
Correct implementation of the default case [5]
Note: Please note that all data is hard coded i.e. do not use the Scanner
class to get input.
