I would just like to ask on how can I make my code to just get the input instead of declaring it? Here's my program. I want to input different atomic numbers and not just "37" like what's in my code. Don't mind my comments, it's in my native language. Thanks!
public class ElectConfi {
public static void main(String s[]) {
int atomicNumber = 37;
String electronConfiguration = getElectronConfiguration(atomicNumber);
System.out.println(electronConfiguration);
}
public static String getElectronConfiguration(int atomicNumber) {
int[] config = new int[20]; //dito nag store ng number of elec. in each of the 20
orbitals.
String[] orbitals = {"1s^", "2s^", "2p^", "3s^", "3p^", "4s^", "3d^", "4p^", "5s^",
"4d^", "5p^", "6s^", "4f^", "5d^", "6p^", "7s^", "5f^", "6d^", "7p^", "8s^"};
//Names of the orbitals
String result="";
for(int i=0;i<20;i++) //dito ung i represents the orbital and tapos ung j
represents ng electrons
{
for(int j=0;(getMax(i)>j)&&(atomicNumber>0);j++,atomicNumber--) //if atomic
number > 0 and ung orbital ay kaya pa magsupport ng more electrons, add
electron to orbital ie increment configuration by 1
{
config[i]+=1;
}
if(config[i]!=0) //d2 nagche-check to prevent it printing empty
orbitals
result+=orbitals[i]+config[i]+" "; //orbital name and configuration
correspond to each other
}
return result;
}
public static int getMax(int x) //returns the number of max. supported electrons by each
orbital. for eg. x=0 ie 1s supports 2 electrons
{
if(x==0||x==1||x==3||x==5||x==8||x==11||x==15||x==19)
return 2;
else if(x==2||x==4||x==7||x==10||x==14||x==18)
return 6;
else if(x==6||x==9||x==13||x==17)
return 10;
else
return 14;
}
}
You can use either a Scanner
or BufferedReader
and get the user input
Using Scanner
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please input atomic number");
int atomicNumber = scanner.nextInt();
Using BufferedReader
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int atomicNumber = Integer.parseInt(reader.readLine());
public static String getElectronConfiguration(int atomicNumber) {}
This method accepting any int
value and will return String
result. so you only need to provide different number as input. There is no change required in this method.
How to provide different inputs?
You can use Scanner to do that.
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please input atomic number");
int atomicNumber = scanner.nextInt();
Now call your method
String electronConfiguration = getElectronConfiguration(atomicNumber);
What are the other ways?
You can define set of values for atomicNumber
in your code and you can run those in a loop
You can get the user input from a command line argument:
public static void main(String s[]) {
if (s.length == 0) {
// Print usage instructions
} else {
int atomicNumber = Integer.parseInt(s[0]);
// rest of program
}
}
You can get input from command line arguments by doing below :
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
String inputLine = scanner.nextLine(); //get entire line
//or
int inputInt= scanner.nextInt();//get an integer
