Description
The "Car Driving Simulator Program" is a Java application designed to
simulate driving various cars based on data stored in a text file named
"vehicles.txt". The program utilizes object-oriented programming concepts such as
classes, objects, and methods to model cars and their driving behavior. It also
incorporates file input/output operations for reading data from the text file.
Upon execution, the program checks if the file "vehicles.txt" exists. If the file
is found, it reads the data and creates Car objects for each line in the file. For each
Car object, the program simulates driving by displaying a message indicating the
brand and model of the car being driven. If the file is not found, the program
notifies the user with a "File not found" message. This program serves as an
educational tool for learning Java fundamentals like classes, object
ds, inheritance, exception handling, and file operations.
Classes and Objects: Classes are templates for creating objects. In this
program, we have a Vehicle class as the parent and a Car class as a child inheriting
from Vehicle.
Inheritance: The Car class inherits from the Vehicle class, which means it
inherits its properties and methods.
Methods: Methods are functions defined within classes to perform certain
actions. In this program, drive() is a method defined in both the Vehicle and Car
classes to simulate driving.
Exception Handling: The program handles the FileNotFoundException that
might occur if the file "vehicles.txt" is not found.
File Input/Output: The program reads data from a file ("vehicles.txt") to
create Car objects, demonstrating file input/output operations.
Flowchart
Start
Check if
"vehicles.txt" exists
If file exists:
Read data from file
For each line in file:
Split data into brand and model
Create Car object
Drive the Car
If file doesn't exist:
Display "File not found"
End
Program Flow Narrative
1. Start:
The program begins execution.
2. Check File Existence:
It checks if the file "vehicles.txt" exists.
3. File Existence Decision:
If the file exists:
- It reads data from the file.
- For each line in the file:
- It splits the data into brand and model.
- Creates a Car object with the extracted brand
- Drives the Car.
If the file doesn't exist:
- It displays "File not found" message.
4. End:
The program ends.
