Question
Task #1 Character and String Class Methods
1. Copy the files Time.java (code listing 9.1) and TimeDemo.java (code listing 9.2)
from the StudentCD or as directed by your instructor.
2. In the Time.java file, add conditions to the decision structure which validates the
data. Conditions are needed that will
a. Check the length of the string
b. Check the position of the colon
c. Check that all other characters are digits
3. Add lines that will separate the string into two substrings containing hours and
minutes. Convert these substrings to integers and save them into the instance
variables.
4. In the TimeDemo class, add a condition to the loop that converts the user
