Due: February 4
E-mailed Progress report due: January 28
Hand in:

1. Print out of .java file and output window
2. Diskette clearly labeled with your name and course with .java and .class file named Asg2.java and Asg2.class.

This assignment will show that you can:

• design a program
use comments to indicate purpose
use white space and tabs to aid readablility
show cohesion in grouping of statements
show understanding of order of execution of statements
• declare String objects
use String methods substring(), length()  and concat()
use PrintStream objects
use InputStream objects


Write a Java program as follows:

• The program is to prompt for two input words, and then read two words (from keyboard input). It then prints each of the two words and their concatenation.
• Next, the program prompts for another word. It reads the word, prints it, and prints its first half and its second half.
• Finally, the program prints your first and last initials in block letters: like

H    H   IIIII
H    H     I
H    H     I
HHHHHH     I
H    H     I
H    H     I
H    H   IIIII


Further specifications are as follows:

1. Be sure to include your name,and the assignment number (2) in comments at the beginning of the program.
2. Try to use formatting and commenting conventions similar to those used in the textbook and in the first example.
3. Your block letters do not have to be exactly like those in the example program. You can be creative if you wish, but you should produce characters that are at least as large as those in the example program.
4. Name the class in your program "Asg2", and put your program in a file with name Asg2.java. (Note that each of these names begins with an upper-case A.)


NOTE: Do not try to do this program all at once. Use the following steps:

1. Start by writing the program so that it just prompts for and reads the first two words, and prints the output for these two words.
2. When the first step is working, add code to prompt for the third word, read the word, and print the output for the word.
3. When everything is working completely for the three input words, complete the program by adding the initials  message.
