Question

How do I get this into two separate java files, one that provides the information for the program, and another that runs the program?

import java.util.Scanner;
public class States{

public static int getBirdAndFlower(String stateInformation[][],String state){
int position=-1;
boolean found=false;
for (int index = 0; index < stateInformation.length && !found; index++){
if(stateInformation[index][0].equalsIgnoreCase(state))
position=index;
}

return position;
}

public static void main(String[] args){
//Scanner object
Scanner scanner =new Scanner(System.in);
  
//array to store information on state, flower, bird
String[][] stateData=new String[][]

}
else
System.out.println("Invalid state entered");
}
}
}
}

StatesData.java

public class StatesData {

public static int getBirdAndFlower(String stateInformation[][],String state){

int position=-1;

boolean found=false;

for (int index = 0; index < stateInformation.length && !found; index++){

if(stateInformation[index][0].equalsIgnoreCase(state))

position=index;   

}

return position;

}

}

Output:

Enter a State or None to exit:
Tennesee
Bird: Mockingbird
Flower: Iris
Enter a State or None to exit:
aaa
Invalid state entered
Enter a State or None to exit:
None
**** Thank You ****
A summary report for each State, Bird, and Flower is
