Instructions

With almost all competitive team sport cancelled or put on hold the public is desperate for a replacement. Scientists have determined that the actual game doesn’t matter,_l as long as a sports fan can have a team they support and outcomes to feel good or bad about. You are to write a short sports news program that produces stories about the outcome from a single game in some (unnamed) sport to satisfy this need.
1 . Create a new program with the following code as a starting point:
import java. util. Scanner;
* 3.2PP Sports News Generator
@author Replace with your name public class SportsReport {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc — new Scanner(System.in);
System. out. print1n(“Any Sport in a Storm”
System. out . println();
System. out. print(“Enter the winning team’ s name: winner = sc.nextLine();
System. out. print(“What round of the competition? round – sc.nextlnt();
2. Modify the program so that it implements the following algorithm. You will need to declare additional variables, prompt for and read their values from the user, and produce three formatted lines of output at the end.
Program: SportsReport
Variables:
Scanner sc
Steps:
1. Create Scanner sc
2. Display the title of the program: “Any Sport in a Storm”
3 . Prompt for winning team’ s name and store in winner
4. Prompt for losing team’s name and store in Loser
5 . Prompt for the competition round and store in round
6. Prompt for points scored by the winning team and store in winnerPoints
7. Prompt for points scored by the losing team and store in LoserPoints
8. Calculate their point difference as winnerPoints LoserPoints and store in difference
9. Display the following formatted messages, where each highlighted entry represents that variable’s value:
winner beat Loser by difference points at the weekend in a thrilling game.
The final score line was winnerPoints points to LoserPoints .
After just round rounds winner look like favourites to win the competition.
3. Optional: Change the displayed title of the program to something other than ‘Any Sport in a Storm’.
4. Test your program with a variety of inputs to ensure it works as it should.
5. Take a screenshot of one run of your program and upload both the SportsReport.java source file and screenshot to the assignment submission folder on MyLO.

1 . They have not. This is fake news, but seems pretty close to reality.e
