Chapter 7: Strings and String Processing
Ch 7 Lab: Secret Word
Brief description
Write a class that manages the String processing for an
applet that lets the user make repeated guesses at the letters
contained in a secret word. The secret word is shown in masked
form. Each time the user makes a guess, the
applet reports whether the guess is correct or not and displays the
updated version of the secret word.
This lab emphasizes use of the
String class and string processing algorithms. It provides
good practice with coding loop algorithms. It uses a provided applet
interface. Successful completion of this lab could be used as a preliminary
assignment to completing Exercise 7.15 at the end of Chapter 7 in Java, Java, Java 3E.
The objectives of this lab are:
- To practice with the String class and methods.
- To practice simple looping constructs.
The following demo program illustrates the program's
operation:
