Constructor Detail

MusicLibrary

public MusicLibrary(java.lang.String fileName)
             throws java.io.FileNotFoundException

Creates a MusicLibrary containing all of the Songs specified in the input file.

An input file consists of three lines of text per song. For each song, the first line corresponds to the song's title, the second line to the artist, and the third line to the genre.

Note: when attempting to create a new File object, e.g.,
new File(fileName)
some versions of Dr. Java have difficultly determining the appropriate folder on your computer in which to look for the file. To rectify this issue, the following invocation
PicOps.getFolder()
will specify the appropriate folder. Thus, a new File object can be created successfully as follows:
new File(PicOps.getFolder() + fileName)

Parameters:

fileName - a String representing the name of a file containing information about Songs

Throws:

java.io.FileNotFoundException - if the specified file cannot be located/opened

The main method should provide an interactive program that creates a MusicLibrary and queries that MusicLibrary based on input from the user. The main method should perform the following three tasks:

1. The main method should prompt the user for the name of a file containing information about Songs. A MusicLibrary object should be created based on the file input by the user. The number of songs in the newly created MusicLibrary should be written to standard output.

2. The main method should prompt the user for the name of a performing artist. All songs in the MusicLibrary by that artist should be written to standard out.

3. The main method should prompt the user for the name of a musical genre. All songs in the MusicLibrary of that genre should be written to standard out.

Parameters:

args - an array of Strings representing the command line arguments

Throws:

java.io.FileNotFoundException - if the MusicLibrary constructor throws a FileNotFoundException
