	turned in after midnight Tuesday and before midnight Wednesday

Total point value of assignment:  100 points

Late submissions not accepted after: Friday, June 9 at midnight

This assignment is to be done INDIVIDUALLY.



Create a directory, A3, which will contain all parts of this assignment.
(In this assignment the directory A3 will contain a single file
named Asg3.java.)  

The objectives of this program are to give you some more experience working
with Strings and developing logic to solve a frequently encountered
situation.


Input:

	Input should be read in the ConsoleWindow.

	Request the user to enter an integer.  This integer will be read
	from the screen with the readString method (in the ReadStrem
	class) and stored in a variable of type String.

Output:

	Print your name, the assignment number, and a short description
	of the assignment to the screen.

	Print the String read from the ConsoleWindow.  (Printing the
	value read in checks that you actually read the value you expect
	to read.  This is called "echo printing.")

	Print the integer value that results from processing the
	String.


Other requirements:

	The String supplied by the user may be positive, zero, or
	negative.  Sample input values are "32", "5603", "-15", "0",.  
	Your program should handle any of these correctly.

	Your program should also detect illegal characters in the
	input.  Illegal input might consist of "-a", "word", or "$53".
	However, initial digits followed by letters should be treated
	as if only the initial digits were read.  Thus "1024L" should
	be treated as "1024" and "-7H" should be treated as "-7".

	Follow the style standards to be found on your instructor's
	web page for CPSC 210.

	Submit your program using the handin command.  There is a link to
	the handin description on your lab page (www.cs.clemson.edu/~lab210).


Grading rubric:

	In the opinion of the instructor the program is an honest attempt
		to complete the assignment as described  10 pts.

	If the above requirement is met:

		Required documentation 10 pts.
		Style standards 20 pts.

	If the two previous requirements are not met, no further points
		will be awarded.

	The program compiles without error.  10 pts.

	The program compiles without error, and detects illegal input
	that begins with a symbol or than a digit (or other than a
	- followed by a digit).  10 pts.

	The program compiles correctly, and correctly extracts a
	number (or - followed by a number) from non-digits that follow.
	10 pts.  

	The program compiles correctly and correctly converts an
	input string (consisting of digits) to the equivalent integer.
	(20 points if works for non-negative.  Additional 10 points
	if works for negative.)
