School List Manager

Inspiration

I was inspired to write a software application for school purposes as a college freshman who looks forward to his academic studies each year in the fall.

What it does

This software application takes in user input as a list of items necessary for the upcoming school year as well as their respective necessary amounts, and prints a list to the user's screen with each item in conjunction with its respective amount.

How we built it

I build this application using the Java programming language. I was able to take in user data through the Scanner object and process user data as Array Lists with the Array List class.

Challenges we ran into

I ran into the challenge of continually recording the literal string data of each item the user wishes to purchase for the upcoming school year. I was able to do this by writing a public static method to return the String data of each item, thereby making each iteration of String input static.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of creating a software application that any student or parent can use from their command prompt terminal in recording a list of school supplies to buy for their future studies.

What we learned

I learned how to utilize the Array List in a static manner so as to adequately request and present the literals string data of user input to user screen.

What's next for School List Manager

I would state that the school list application can be improved in the future by taking in the cost of each item, and can have further developments for college students in terms of writing individual lists for textbooks and other significant items.
