Assignment 2A: Using JAVA: Write a program to count the number of lines of code in a file, excluding blanks and comments.

Requirements:
• The program should receive the location and name of the file through the command line, such as: your_executable target_code. If the file is in a different directory, specifying the correct path on target_code should work just as well.
• If the file cannot be found, a proper error message should be displayed.
• Count and report all lines of code in the file. Ignore blank lines (those containing only white space). Ignore comment lines as well. Remember that comments may start with /* and end with */ several lines below. Handle these cases as well.
• In your testing phase, include tests that count the lines of your first and second assignments. Report your results in a visible position in the test summary.
• You are responsible for resolving any issue not covered by these requirements. Document all your assumptions and decisions wherever requirements are unclear.

Process:
You should follow the PSP0 process as presented in the Discipline for Software Engineering textbook. Use PSPMaterial.doc to download forms. The forms needed for the process are:
• PSP Summary Form (Page 6)
• PSP TimeLog (Page 8)
• PSP Defect Log (Page 10)

Deliverables:
Deliver the following documents and forms, in physical form, in this order:
• PSP0 Project Plan Summary
• Time Recording Log
• Defect Recording Log
• Source code printout
• Test summary, indicating how you ensured that the code is correct. Include test code printouts if you automated tests (recommended)
• A report, at most one page long, describing:
o Your impressions on your own performance and the PSP0.1
o Ideas for improving the PSP
o Any assumptions taken
Marking scheme:
• 50% - adherence to the PSP, correct and complete use of forms
• 25% - insights and sensible improvement proposals in report
• 25% - quality of assignment code, test code and test summary
