Question
Missy is keeping track of people coming to her party this weekend. She has her list of people who are allowed entry. She wants you to write a program for the bouncer to use to determine whether the person is allowed entry or not. She has decided on this list of people who are allowed to enter: Chloe, Angela, Bart, Francis, Elizabeth, George, Harrison, and Huey. An example run follows: Who is seeking entry to the party? Harrison Allow Harrison to enter! Another example run follows: Who is seeking entry to the party? Chris Turn Chris away, not on the list. Goal: The task is to write a program named PartyBounce that creates an array (in the main method) of the accepted names for the party, prompts the user for a name (in main), calls a method (isNameOnList) to search and determine whether that name is on the list, and prints a message to the bouncer.
