Skills: Hashmaps and Iteration

Instructions

Great news! You're going to an NBA game! The only catch is that you've been volunteered to keep track of some information about the teams and players.

Using Nested HashMaps, define a game, with two teams, their players, and some player info:

• The game has two teams
• A team has:
  • name
  • colors (x2)
• Each player should have a:
  • name
  • jersey_number
  • shoe_size

Use the following seed data to structure the hashmaps. Use the Test spec to make sure you're putting things in the correct order. Think about how you might be accessing the data when designing your nested hashmap structure.

• Home Team = Brooklyn Nets, Colors = Black, White
• Away Team = Chicago Bulls, Colors = Black, Red

Using the power of Java, and the hashmaps you created, write methods to complete the following:

1. Returns your game hashmap. Call the method getBasketballGame().

2. Return the shoe size for any player, given that player's name. Call the method shoeSize(String name).

3. Return both colors for any team, given the team name. Call the method teamColors(String name).

4. Return both teams names, given the game hashmap. Call the method teamNames(). Note: Since you have a method getBasketballGame() that returns your hashmap, there is no need to pass it in as an argument! You can just call it from within your teamNames() method.

5. Return all the player numbers for a team, given a team name. Call the method playerNumbers(String name).

Bonus Question:

Define a method to return the answer to the following question:

1. Which player has the longest name? Call the method playerWithLongestName().
