Spec: Design and implement a program that creates an exception class called StringTooLongException,
designed to be thrown when a string is discovered that has too many characters in it. In the main driver
of the program, read strings from the user until the user enters DONE. If a string that has too many
characters (20) is entered, throw the exception. Allow the thrown exception to terminate the program.
Class: StringTooLongException
Will throw exception if character length is 20 or greater
Class Driver
ThinkTank
Main method throws StringTooLongException
Need scanner, will accept input (in a while loop)
As long as the input is not DONE (will ignore case)
Continue to accept input and add to an array list
if input > 20 characters, throw exception StringTooLongException
print arraylist

Design: ThinkTank.java driver
Imports
Scanner : java.util.Scanner // for input
ArrayList: Java.util. ArrayList // for collecting input
Object Creation
New Scanner object scan
New ArrayList object phrases
Variable Declaration
String input =
Introduction
Print out summary of program
Welcome to Your Think Tank App! This program will have you input as many words, short
phrases, or basically anything you want! The only catch?? They -must- be under 20 characters
long! Seems challenging, right?
Process
While input is not equal to DONE (ignore case)
Prompt: Enter a short phrase
Input = scan.nextLine
If input length > 20
Throw StringTooLongException
Add input to phrases(array list)
When user enters done
Print out arraylist of the phrases input
Println for loop
for(int i = 0; i < n ; i++)
System.out.println( (i+1) + ". " + phrases.get( i )
End Program
Tell user that the program has been terminated
Println This program has ended. Thank you for listening to directions.
