How do i print a line from an imported text file in java if the inputted int is found in that text file?

Question

I'm making a Java "text clock" that prints out the inputted value in English eg

input: 15:30 
output: fifteen thirty

my text file is holding

01= one 
02= two 
03= three
...
15= fifteen and so on

Is there a way I can link the text file with my java program so that when let's say 01 is inputted by the user. The program will look for 1 in the text file and print out "One". Would this be possible to do

Answer 1

Here are the steps you need to follow:

• Try creating a map that reads the file whose key would be String (a number representation) and value would be string representation.
• Read the user input and split it by ":" which will give you an array of length two.
• Look up in a map for number before ":" ie array[0] and print it
• Look up in a map for number after ":" ie array[1] and print it.
