Assignment 2: Casino
Approaching the project

• Make sure you understand what is going on

• Take notes and highlight key information while reading
• Import all the necessary classes
• Start writing code
• Testing and debugging
• Submit assignment
 Understand the Project

Assuming you declare your Variables

like this:
• String1= Cherries;
• String2= Bar;
• String3 = Space;
• String4 = “7”;
 Highlight Key Info
• How frequent something will
appear:
• space        1/2   (50%)
• Cherries  1/4  (25%)
• BAR          1/8  (12.5%)
• 7              1/8  (12.5%)
• When to declare winning:
• Cherries,  [not cherries],  [any] 
pays 5 × bet (5 times the bet)
• Cherries,  cherries  [not cherries] 
pays 15 × bet
• cherries  cherries  cherries 
pays 30 × bet
• BAR  BAR  BAR
pays 50 × bet
• 7  7  7 pays 100 × bet
 Key info Continued
Warning: Order matters:
• cherries bar cherries pays 5×
• while cherries cherries bar pays
15×
• and bar cherries cherries pays
nothing.
• Multipliers:
• you can create a multiplier by
default to be zero
• change it when the right
combination comes up like
• x5, x15, x30, x50, x100
 Project Spec
• The program Spec is extremely important to • A Private Helper Method
follow: located on the assignment section.
• The data section
• boolean validString( String str )
• Your Strings (name them accordingly) • This method returns true if both the
• Set up your final int MAX_LEN set to 20 string  is not null and its length <=
• Summary MAX_LEN and false, otherwise.
• Three private instances strings,
• One private static int array,
• One private static int variable,
• and two public static final ints
 Program Spec: Import Classes
• Make sure you call your class
Class ThreeString as
recommended.
• Name your strings, your ints, all
you methods as suggested in the
assignment
 Classes:  (Static main class methods)
• int getBet()
• To prompt users to bet an amount
between 0 and 100 dollars.
Public static getBet () {
Write your printout statement here and
your validation process to make sure the
users enter only numbers between 0 and
100 with 0 to quit.
}
• String randString()
• Using Math.Random();
• Suggestion using a number between
1 and 1000;
• Pay close attention to if statement
here
• The percentage each variable will
appear

• Public static ThreeStringthePull(){ • x5, x15, x30 and x50, x100

 Conclusion
• Test your code multiple time for the best output.
• Review the assignment instructions to make sure you cover everything
• When you satisfy:
• Copy your source code and your output into a text editor
• Add your name, the class, and your comments
• Good luck!
