Homework 1

Due Thursday 9/24

• Read the notes on WAMP/MAMP and Eclipse and follow the instructions there for installing LAMP and Eclipse on your laptops.

• Using whatever programming language you are most proficient in --- Java, PhP, Perl, etc. --- write a well-structured and well-documented program that accepts a String input from the user (as a command line argument or through a GUI interface or a command line interface, whatever you prefer) and removes all non-numeric characters from the string and displays the result.

  Your program should use a method (Java) or a function (PhP) to handle the task of removing non-numerics from the string. You can imagine that this method would be used to "clean" an input text field that is expecting to receive a numeric ID number such as 8953480085.

  For example, if the input to the program is $43504.00, the output should be 4350400.

  Handin instructions: Post your well-documented, well-structured solutions to the CPSC225 wiki.
