	Classroom Discussion - English, recap of yesterday's lesson To me, these are the important phrases from the article: potential for experiential learning accidental learning adjusting to a new culture accidental learning relies on failure [game players] become more flexible in thinking & more sensitive to social cues [game players] don't think of gameplay as training a total-immersion course in leadership adept at many skills provide real-world training willing to improvise [to] find people & resources needed to accomplish a task translate experience in the virtual world into success in the real one Summary -- The article shows, through example of Stephen Gillett, how Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games can help develop leadership skills Explain the Importance -- Playing MMORPG may help develop the leaders of the future, especially if those playing don't realize that they're learning management skills Technology Vocabulary - a daily interest ibiblio.org - Brewing Java - File I/O & Streams leepoint.net - Java Notes - a very comprehensive set of programming notes Lab Assignment - Modify the Java program "salary" to read input from a text file: Employee name & pay rate are stored in the text file "employees.txt" Add "import java.io.*;" at the top Add a variable to name the input file: public static String inFileName = "employees.txt"; Add the try/catch block to find & open the FileInputStream in the main: try { FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(inFileName); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File " + inFileName + " Found"); // add DataInputStream code here } catch (Exception e) { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File " + inFileName + " Not Found"); } Save & Test What error do you get? None! The program can't find the file because you haven't created it yet! It's working! Create the text file in notepad & save it to the "salary" folder: Adam 10.00 Beth 10.00 Chad 10.00 Dana 10.00 Add a try/catch to open the data as a DataInputStream inside the FileInputStream try block: try { DataInputStream inData = new DataInputStream(inFile); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File " + inFileName + " Contains Data"); // add input code here } catch (Exception e) { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"File " + inFileName + " Empty"); } Add a try/catch block around the main code inside the DataInputStream try block: try { while((str = inData.readLine()) != null) { getEmpInfo(i); gp = grossPay(i); tx = taxes(); np = netPay(); showResults(i); i++; } howMany = i - 1; } Java has a special class called "StringTokenizer". The java.util.StringTokenizer class is used to break strings into tokens (words, numbers, operators, or whatever). A more powerful solution is to use regular expressions, which have been added to Java 1.4. A StringTokenizer constructor takes a string to break into tokens and returns a StringTokenizer object for that string. Each time its nextToken() method is called, it returns the next token in that string. If you don't specify the delimiters (separator characters), blanks are the default Modify getEmpInfo() to get data from the Data Input Stream & use StringTokenizer to break the input line into two pieces: name & payRate. Continue to get hoursWorked from the user at the keyboard: StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(str); name[a] = st.nextToken(); str = st.nextToken(); pr[a] = Double.parseDouble(str); str = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Enter Hours Worked for " + name[a]); hw[a] = Double.parseDouble(str); Everything else stays the same Save & Test Copy the source code file to "H:\Java" & rename it "salary" PowerPoint Practice for the SkillsUSA web design contest
