// Create a simple interface (tip: name it Saveable or ISaveable)

// That interface allows an object to be saved to some sort of storage medium.


(tip: use arraylist)
// The exact type of medium is not known to the interface (nor to the classes that
implement it).
// The interface will just specify two methods, one to return an ArrayList of
values to be saved
// and the other to populate the object's fields from an ArrayList (parameter).
//
// Create a few sample classes that implement your Saveable interface (we've used
the idea of a game,
// with Players and Monsters, but you can create any type of classes that you
want).
//
// Override the toString() method for each of your classes so that they can be
easily printed to enable
// the program to be tested easier.
//
// In Main, write a method that takes an object that implements the interface as a
parameter and
// "saves" the values e.g. calls the method defined in the interface.

// We haven't covered I/O yet, so your method should just print the values to the
screen.
// Also in the Main class, write a method that restores the values to a Saveable
object
// e.g. calls the method from the interface for populating fields (see above).

// Again, we are not going to use Java file I/O; instead use the readValues()
method below to
// simulate getting values from a file – this allows you to type as many values as
your class
// requires, and returns an ArrayList.
// There is a whole Java I/O section later in the course where you will get to use
files, etc.

public static ArrayList<String> readValues() {


ArrayList<String> values = new ArrayList<String>();

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);


boolean quit = false;
int index = 0;
System.out.println("Choose\n" +
"1 to enter a string\n" +
"0 to quit");

while (!quit) {
System.out.print("Choose an option: ");
int choice = scanner.nextInt();
scanner.nextLine();
switch (choice) {
case 0:
quit = true;
break;
case 1:
System.out.print("Enter a string: ");
String stringInput = scanner.nextLine();
values.add(index, stringInput);
index++;
break;
}
}
return values;
}
