Question

Develop a Java application that inputs a two-letter abbreviation for one of the 50 states and displays the full name of the state. If the abbreviation isn't valid, the application should display an error and ask for the abbreviation again. The names of the 50 states and their abbreviations are given in the following table:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._state_abbreviations

(Hint: use nested switch statements, where the outer statement uses the first letter of the abbreviation as its switch statement)

**Java 7 can also be used with Strings in the switch statement
