Chapter 6 answer to question 21 (Phone keypads) - programming exercise

Keywords: Java Programming

*6.21 (phone by keyboard) the international standard letter / number matching diagram is shown in the programming exercise 4.15. Write a method to return the number of a given capital letter, as follows:

int getNumber(char uppercaseLetter)

Write a test program to prompt the user to enter a phone number in the form of a string. The number you enter may contain letters. The program translates letters (uppercase or lowercase) into a number, and then keeps the other characters unchanged.

*6.21(Phone keypads)The international standard letter/number mapping for telephones is given in Programming Exercise 4.15. Write a method that returns a number, given an uppercase letter, as follows:

int getNumber(char uppercaseLetter)

Write a test program that prompts the user to enter a phone number as a string. The input number may contain letters. The program translates a letter (uppercase or lowercase) to a digit and leaves all other characters intact.
