Write program that prints numbers from 1 to X

Write program that prints numbers from 1 to X

Assignment question: Write a program that prints the numbers from 1 to X. But for multiples of 2 print “Fiddle” instead of the number and for multiples of 5 print “Faddle” instead of the number. For numbers which are multiples of both 2 and 5 print “Fiddle Faddle” instead of the number.

• The program should be constructed in Java 1.7 or below.
• The program should prompt for and accept user input for X from the command line.
• The program should do basic input validation on what the user enters (e.g. -1 and X are invalid input)
• The program should exit when the user enters ‘quit’

Your deliverable: Please provide the source code as a well formed maven project including any tests as well as instructions for execution, if necessary.

Example program execution:

Enter an integer > 0: X
Invalid input ‘X’
Enter an integer > 0: -1
Invalid input ‘-1’
Enter an integer > 0: 0
Invalid input ‘0’
Enter an integer > 0: 1
1
Enter an integer > 0: 10

Enter an integer > 0: quit

Solution:

• Project structure:

• Create maven project name: PrintNumbers in eclispe
• Create PrintNumbers.java class inside com.fiddle.printnumbers package and copy paste below code:

/*
 * PrintNumbers.java
 * Version 1.0 
 */
package com.fiddle.printnumbers;

import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.util.Scanner;

/**
 * This program prints the numbers from 1 to X. But for multiples of 2 print
 * "Fiddle" instead of the number and for multiples of 5 print "Faddle" instead
 * of the number. For numbers which are multiples of both 2 and 5 print
 * "Fiddle Faddle" instead of the number.
 * 
 * The program has been constructed in jdk1.7.0_60 The program should prompt for
 * and accept user input for X from the commandline The program should do basic
 * input validation on what the user enters (e.g. -1 and X are invalid input)
 * The program should exit when the user enters 'quit'
