program # 2   pgm2_5eCGS3767OS 

This assignment is worth 6 points total, partial credit will be given, 


 Worth 6 points
 In your Ubuntu VM (virtual machine), using terminal mode ONLY, do the following:
     
 1) Create a folder named pgm2
     
 2) In this folder (pgm2) place the text file located at:
     
    http://users.cis.fiu.edu/~mrobi002/databases/RAMerrors8x4

    Each record in this file represents the location of an error found in RAM
     
 3) Assume you have a computer with 32 gigs of RAM, each 4 gigs in a 
    different memory chip, therefore you have 8 (eight) 4 gigs RAM chips.


                                  ---------- decimal address ----------   GIGs
    RAM chip 0 contain addresses:              0 -  34,359,738,368 bits =    4
    RAM chip 1 contain addresses: 34,359,738,369 -  68,719,476,738 bits =    8
    RAM chip 2 contain addresses: 68,719,476,739 - 103,079,215,108 bits =   12
    RAM chip 3 contain addresses:103,079,215,109 - 137,438,953,478 bits =   16
    RAM chip 4 contain addresses:137,438,953,479 - 171,798,691,848 bits =   20
    RAM chip 5 contain addresses:171,798,691,849 - 206,158,430,218 bits =   24
    RAM chip 6 contain addresses:206,158,430,219 - 240,518,168,588 bits =   28 
    RAM chip 7 contain addresses:240,518,168,589 - 274,877,906,958 bits =   32


    I used this link to do the calculations:
    http://www.matisse.net/bitcalc/?input_amount=274%2C877%2C906%2C958&input_units=bits&notation=legacy
     
     
 4) In the same folder (pgm2), in terminal mode, using an editor, create a 
    Java program named: 
     
    your lastName, First letter of your first name, _OS, pgm2, java
    example: robinsonM_OSpgm2.java
     
    This program will do the following:
 5) Open the text file  ( named on question 2 above ) 
 6) Read each record, which is the location of an error in RAM, in hex
 7) Convert that hex value to binary 
 8) Convert the binary value to decimal value
 9) Print the RAM chip number where the error is located for each record
    as follows:
    
       Error                                                  Found at
       hex number  =  binary number  =  decimal number  =  chip number 
      
      
      note: Location addresses for RAM chips are decimal
      
      *** DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE NAME 

      *** MAKE SURE THE FILE IS IN THE SAME FOLDER AS YOUR JAVA PROGRAM

      *** CREATE YOUR OWN METHODS THAT WILL CONVERT 
          HEX TO BINARY AND BINARY TO DECIMAL

      *** DO NOT USE JAVA'S AUTOMATIC CONVERSION METHODS 
 
      *** DO NOT USE JAVA'S PARSE COMMANDS
 
      *** USE System.out.printf commands ONLY to print any data
