Write a Java program to compute the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)
on the UNIX subsystem of z/OS. Your program must compute the
average for the previous trading day’s closing price.
The stocks that constitute DJIA are decided by the editorial board of the Wall Street
Journal (WSJ). As of now, there are 30 company stocks and their symbols are AXP,
AAPL, BA, CAT, CVX, CSCO, KO, DIS, DWDP, XOM, GE, GS, HD, IB
M, INTC, JNJ, JPM, MCD, MRK, MMM, MSFT, NKE, PFE, PG, TRV, UTX, UNH, VZ, V, WMT.
The average is calculated as the sum of the price of the symbols divided by a constant. The value of the constant is set by the WSJ board which may change from time to time and its present (as of 2/10/18) value is 0.14602128057775.
Your program must read the stock symbols from a text file named‘ ticker.txt’. You must
implement a class called ‘Djia Average’to read iteratively the symbols from the input text file, retrieve their prices and then compute the average, rounded to 2 decimal precision.
Your output should be a line such as: Djia = 24,601.27
For example, you will use the URL https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/MSFT?interval=2mtoget the chart for MSFT as a string.
Then you need to parse the string to get the previous trading day’s closing time price.
Please note that the URL is good to extract a stock symbol
data as of now. We are not sure how long the URL may provide the data because it is maintained by a for-profit company.
Your documentation must include your name, date, and a brief description. You need to
use Idz to copy and save your work (a java filesand text input file)
locally in a folder DJIA. Zip the folder and rename as your_lastname_02.zip. Please note that only .zip files will be graded. It is required thatyour code must run on the mainframe and that youuse class the name and text file name as given above.
How to turn in your work:
(1)Click on 2018SP INTRO ENTERPRISE SYS (CS-3321-01)’
(2)Click on the left side item ‘Lessons-Assignments(Dropbox)-Assignment 2’.
(3)Then click on ‘Browse My Computer’ and point to the compressed fileyour_lastname_02.zip, click open, and allow the server to upload your work, and
click ‘Submit’ button. After that you can preview your submission to m
ake sure that the intended file was turned in.
