Midterm test (Clarke's section)

Aids allowed: Textbook only.
Time: 50 minutes

1.	[10 marks]

Write a complete program to read a sequence of strings, stopping when 
the input string is "XXX". The program's output is the string with the 
most J's in it.

Only upper-case J's count. You must not use an array. Here is an 
example of input and the corresponding output:

input: Java	                 	output: Jumping jellybeans, said Jim.
       Jumping jellybeans, said Jim.
       XXX

2.	[10 marks]

(a)  Write a class "Prof" representing professors. Each professor has 
two attributes: name (a String) and age (an int). Write the fields and 
methods in the spaces below. (You can also use the back of a page, if 
necessary.)

i. The class header and the fields (data members). The fields must be 
private.

ii.  A constructor that takes two parameters: name and age.

iii.  A comparison method "olderThan" that returns true or false 
depending on whether the Prof object the method belongs to has a 
greater age than another Prof object. The one parameter of the method 
is the other Prof.

iv.  Any other methods that you may need to write for the Prof class 
in order to complete part (b).

(b)  Now write a fragment of a "main" method that declares two Prof 
variables and initializes them with names and ages read from the 
input. Then your program must compare the ages of the two Profs using 
the olderThan method, and print a message saying which of the two 
Profs is older.

You can assume that an input stream "stdin" has already been set up 
for you. If the Profs have the same age, your program is allowed to 
say (wrongly) that one of them is older. Here is an example of input 
and output:

input: Isaac			output: Isaac is older than Albert
       60
       Albert
       45
