Lab 13: Payroll Processing Part 1

Objectives

• Use try and catch to skip over bad user input.
• Practice with allowing exceptions to propagate to calling methods rather than catching them in the current method.
• Creating and throwing exceptions with throw as well as documenting explicitly thrown exceptions.
• Practice using a Scanner as a text buffer.

Resources

• Accept the GitHub Classroom assignment invitation in Canvas and then, in IntelliJ, create a new project from Version Control using the repository URL.

Introduction

In this Lab you will practice using Exceptions with a basic simulated payroll management system and user input. In the next Lab, you will expand the payroll management system to include deductions and timesheet information as well as read and write data to files.

You have been provided JavaDoc for the primary classes in this assignment. Below are additional details regarding the user input, how the different exceptions should be handled, and a sample output.

User Input

The user will enter information for each Employee one line at a time. Each entry will contain a series of elements separated by a colon of the form, id: name: address: type: value1: value2. These elements are used to create an instance of an Employee (FullTime or Hourly). The type element indicates the type of Employee with valid values being "hourly" or "fulltime". If the type is hourly, value1 and value2 correspond to the hourly rate and how many hours the employee has worked. If the type is "fulltime", value1 is the yearly salary and value2 is 0 and not used. See the sample output.

After each entry, the user should be asked if they want to enter information for another Employee. If a user enters incorrect information, the program should print a descriptive message of the issue and skip that entry.

Exceptions

Many different types of Exceptions can occur in this program. For some methods, an Exception will cause the method to terminate and return to whatever called it. For some methods, an Exception will cause you to skip some operation and move onto the next. See the JavaDoc for how the different methods should handle Exceptions.

Sample Output
