Write a method named frequentFlier
that accepts as its parameter a Scanner
for an input file.
The data in the Scanner
represents all of the flights a person has taken.
Your method should compute and return an integer representing the total frequent flyer miles the person has earned.
The input consists of pairs of tokens where each pair begins with the type of ticket that the person bought ("coach", "firstclass", or "discount", case-sensitively) and is followed by the number of miles of the flight.
The rules for awarding frequent flier miles are:
- 1 frequent flyer mile is earned for each mile traveled in coach.
- 2 frequent flyer miles are earned for each mile traveled in first class.
- 0 frequent flyer miles are earned on a discounted flight.
For example, if a Scanner
named input1
refers to an input file containing the following text:
coach 1500 firstclass 2000 discount 900 coach 3500
In this example, the person earns 1500 frequent flyer miles for the first flight, 4000 frequent flyer miles for the second flight, 0 frequent flyer miles for the third flight, and 3500 frequent flyer miles for the fourth flight.
Therefore the call of frequentFlier(input1)
should return 9000
(a total of 1500 + 2*2000 + 3500).
The input might span multiple lines and might have different spacing between tokens.
You are to process all tokens on all lines together.
For example, if a Scanner
named input2
refers to an input file containing the following text:
firstclass 5000 coach 1500 coach
100 firstclass
2000 discount 300
Then the call of frequentFlier(input2)
should return 15600
(a total of 2*5000 + 1500 + 100 + 2*2000).
You may assume that the input file exists and follows the format above; that the file has an even number of tokens and contains at least 1 pair of tokens; that every other token is an integer; and that the other tokens are valid ticket types.
