Welcome to Shahrukhs Java Pages.

This webpage will contain a few projects I created during my coursework through Winona State University. It will contain the raw coding with some comments which you can view below. All my other projects will be available in my github repository.

Cups Conversion

Description: This application will be used to convert a user given volume in cups to its equivalent number of teaspoons, tablespoons, ounces, pint, quarts, or gallons. This was the first java application I ever made!

import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;

/* 
    Date: 1st February 2016

    This program will allow us to view what a certain volume of cups would be in
    tablespoons, teaspoons etc.

    This program will need the number of cups from the user.
    Then the program will output the neccessary teaspoons, tablespoons etc.

                    4 cups equals 4 * 48 = 192 teaspoons
                    4 cups equals 4 * 16 =  64 tablespoons
                    4 cups equals 4 * 8   =  32 ounces
                    4 cups equals 4 * 0.5   =  2 pints
                    4 cups equals 4 * 0.25   =  1 quart
                    4 cups equals 4 * 0.0625   =   0.2500 gallon

    java.util and java.text will be used

    The input and output will be simple text based interactions using 
    system.out.Println and scanner

    Psuedocode: 
            Output a welcome message
            Output a message that describes what the program will do
            Output a message requesting the number cups the user wishes to 
            convert

            read the input value and store it

            calculate the teaspoons, tablespoons etc and store it.

            output a message that displays this values so the user can see
            it
