Motivation
new Scanner/nextIntin many places and would crash or exit abruptly on non-integer input.HashTableinitializer allocated the table without validatingsize > 0, which could cause runtime errors.Description
HashTable.initialise()toinitialise(Scanner)and addedreadInt/readPositiveInthelpers plus aINVALID_INT_MESSAGEconstant to validatesize > 0before allocating the table inData-Structures/HashTable.java.nextInt()calls with guarded reads inData-Structures/Stack.javaby addingreadInt/readPositiveInthelpers and using them for menu choices and size/value inputs.Data-Structures/Queue/Queue.javaandData-Structures/Queue/CircularQueue.java, and standardized invalid-choice messages across the updated demos.Scannerinstances are used consistently (singleScannerpassed intoinitialiseforHashTable) and closed at program exit where appropriate.Testing
javac Data-Structures/HashTable.javaandjavac Data-Structures/Stack.javaandjavac Data-Structures/Queue/Queue.javaandjavac Data-Structures/Queue/CircularQueue.java, and compilation succeeded for all four files.Codex Task
