Java Shape Program Console
Submit your source code only, uploading to D2L at: Assessments / Dropbox / assignment_5. Please submit
only a single .java file.
Your score is divided among the following items:
• Program is adequately documented. It's comments identifies its name, purpose, author and date.
Throughout the code, comments and/or relevant component names should attempt to make the
program understandable.
• Code carefully addresses each task in the assignment.
• The program compiles without error and pertains to the assignment.
Tasks
Use loops and conditions in Java to produce shapes out of Unicode characters. The program's user
menu affects a switch-statement, which in turn affects the program's action. A menu is displayed which
asks a user to select a shape:
1 triangle
2 square
3 diamond
The program then asks the user to enter any character with which to fill the shape, such as *, or enter
nothing for the program's default character set. This default entails filling the shape with the characters
of the alphabet according to their sequential Unicode decimal value (see https://unicodelookup.com ).
Therefore, the number of characters in each shape should at least accommodate the entire alphabet. For
example, a square might look like:
A B C D E F
G H I J K L
M N O P Q R
S T U V W X
Y Z a b c d
e f g h I j
Your program must draw these shapes iteratively and use at least each of the following loop types at
least once: for, while, do while.
You do not get to use Swing's pre-built shape methods. For output in applet form, you must adjust the
coordinates in g.drawString(" ", x, y) with each loop iteration. You may alternatively submit the
program in non-applet (command-line) form, which I recommend.
