So I have a file that has names along with 11 popularity ranks which looks like this. <--- (this is a link) I am a bit confused on what I am suppose to do with this next part that I have for my assignment. Generally I have a name app that looks like this:
public class Name{
private String givenName;
private int[] ranks = new int[11];
public Name(String name, int[] popularityRanks){
givenName = name;
for (int i = 0; i < 11; i++){
ranks[i] = popularityRanks[i];
}
}
public String getName(){
return givenName;
}
public int getPop(int decade){
if (decade >= 1 && decade <= 11){
return ranks[decade];
}
else{
return -1;
}
}
public String getHistoLine(int decade){
String histoLine = ranks[decade] + ": ";
return histoLine;
}
public String getHistogram(){
String histogram = "";
for (int i = 0; i < 11; i++){
histogram += ranks[i] + ": " + this.getHistoLine(i)
+ "\n";
}
return histogram;
}
}
It is not finished for the getHistoLine but that doesn't have anything to do with what I am trying to do. Generally I want to take these names in from the file and create an array of list.
How he describes it:
Create the array in main, pass it to the readNamesFile method and let that method fill it with Name objects
Test this, by printing out various names and their popularity rankings
For example, if main named the array, list, then upon return from the readNamesFile method do something like:
System.out.println( list[0].getName() + list[0].getPop(1) );
This is what my main looks like:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
public class NameApp{
public static void main(String[] args){
Name list[] = new Name()
}
private static void loadFile(){
Scanner inputStream = null;
String fileName = "names.txt";
try {
inputStream = new Scanner (new File(fileName));
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Error opening file named: " + fileName);
System.out.println("Exiting...");
}
while (inputStream.hasNext()){
}
}
}
I am just a bit confused how I can take the name have it send to the Name object list[] and then take the popularity ranks and send it to the Name object list[]. So when I call
list[0].getName()
it will just call the name for one of the lines... Sorry I am a bit new to the java language. Thanks in advance
You need to create a Name list correctly. I would use a List since you don't know how many names there will be;
public static void main(String[] args){
List<Name> list = new ArrayList<Name>();
loadFile();
System.out.println(list.get(0).getPop());
}
private static void loadFile(){
Scanner inputStream = null;
String fileName = "names.txt";
try {
inputStream = new Scanner (new File(fileName));
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Error opening file named: " + fileName);
System.out.println("Exiting...");
}
while (inputStream.hasNext()){
// givenName = something
// ranks = something;
list.add(new Name(givenName, ranks);
}
}
Assuming each line is something like this (from your deleted comment)
A 1 234 22 43 543 32 344 32 43
Your while loop can be something like this
while (inputStream.hasNextLIne()){
String line = inputStream.nextLine();
String tokens = line.split("\\s+");
String givenName = tokens[0];
int[] numList = new int[tokens.lenth - 1];
for (int i = 1; i < tokens.length; i++){
numList[i - 1] = Integer.parseInt(tokens[i].trim());
}
list.add(new Name(givenName, numList);
}

The program is giving correct output when System.out.println(mem[i].memName); but the array of class "member" is giving output (alex alex alex alex) i.e of the last line of the file (mentioned at the END of the CODE)

Expected output:

My output:

Total number of accounts=4
In Short it is giving last name as output no matter what index number is given to fetch the data.
Your member class members must not be static, if they are, they're shared by every member class object.
The other problem is that your member array nodes are not being initialized, you'll need:
Live demo
class member
{
int memId; //non-static
String memName, memEmail, memPh, date; //non-static
}
and
//...
while ((lineRead = bread.readLine()) != null) {
String[] t = lineRead.split("\\|");
mem[i] = new member(); // initialize every node
mem[i].memId = Integer.parseInt(t[0]);
mem[i].memName = t[1];
mem[i].memEmail = t[2];
mem[i].memPh = t[3];
mem[i].date = t[4];
i++;
count++;
}
System.out.println(mem[0].memName);
//...
Output:
RAVI
Note that you can use ArrayList or other java collection.

A couple things here. First, I see you have a System print set to catch unknown errors on your collections sort. printStackTrace will be more useful there.
Also your PrintWriter is returning just a grade. To get the output you want, you really want to return a constructor with a concatenated string. You can do this by making an object of your class that handles the arguments you need to return. Something like:
String finalGrade = f.toString();
public gradeMarker(String name, String finalGrade) {
this.name = name;
this.finalGrade = finalGrade;
}
You have final grade as an integer (f), but personally I find it easier to read/write data as strings. You can follow this up with your getter and setter methods, and then put a final method that returns the output you want. Something like
public String toString() {
return name + "," + finalGrade;
}
You can then put your results in a list and write it to the file using a for each loop
List<gradeMaker> grade = FileReader(//your file)
PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(//your file)
for (gradeMaker x : grade) {
output.println(x);
}
That'll print each line, and since it's for each will only go long as an object exists to print. Hope all of that helps!
Here is fully working example as starting point. If you are using Java 7 or above you can improve it by using java.nio.file, which is a way to work with files up todays standards, instead of java.io.File. You could also consider using java 8 streams to make mapping a line to an object cleaner and more readable.

I am creating a program that is reading a file of names and ages then printing them out in ascending order. I am parsing through the file to figure out the number of name age pairs and then making my array that big.
The input file looks like this:
(23, Matt)(2000, jack)(50, Sal)(47, Mark)(23, Will)(83200, Andrew)(23, Lee)(47, Andy)(47, Sam)(150, Dayton)
When I am running my code I get the output of (0,null) and I am not sure why. I have been trying to fix it for a while and am lost. If anyone can help that would be great My code is below.
public class ponySort {

int count = 0;
int fileSize = 0;
int[] ages;
String [] names;
String filename = "";
Scanner inputFile = new Scanner(System.in);
File file;
do {
System.out.println("File to read from:");
filename = inputFile.nextLine();
file = new File(filename);
//inputFile = new Scanner(file);
}
while (!file.exists());
inputFile = new Scanner(file);
if (!inputFile.hasNextLine()) {
System.out.println("No one is going to the Friendship is magic Party in Equestria.");
}

What your code does is to Scan the file twice.
In the first loop you do
String data1 = inputFile.nextLine();
Code reads first line and then scanner goes to the next (second) line.
Later you do again inputFile.nextLine(); The second line is empty and the code never goes into the second loop and content is never read.
If you can use Lists, you should create two array lists and add ages and names into the arraylists in the first scan, so you scan the file once. When done, you could get the Array out of the arraylist.
If you should only use arrays and you want a simple update, just add another Scanner before the second loop:
ages = new int[fileSize];
names = new String[fileSize];
inputFile = new Scanner(file); // add this line

However, when I run it, the compiler told the the specified file "professor.txt" is not found. I thought the compiler will create the text file automatically based on these code?
Thanks in advance.
Before attempting to read the file in your application, create it if it doesn't exist, either directly :
String filename = "professor.txt" ;
File file = new File(fileName);
if(!file.exists()){
file.createNewFile();
}
Or by calling your write method.
String filename = "professor.txt" ;
File file = new File(fileName);
if(!file.exists()){
TextDB.saveProfessors(filename, new ArrayList());
}
The PrintWriter will create the file for you, even though nothing is written to it (like with this empty list).
In your main you are firstly reading the file and then write it: if the file doesn't exist it will throw you the exception. Probably, the first time you ran it, the file was present (maybe you have write the code to write the file first and then you have launch it).
so, two solutions...
First: change the order of your main.
public static void main(String[] aArgs) {
TextDB txtDB = new TextDB();
String filename = "professor.txt";
try {
Professor p1 = new Professor("Joseph", "jos#ntu.edu.sg", 67909999);
// al is an array list containing Professor objs
al.add(p1);
// write Professor record/s to file.
TextDB.saveProfessors(filename, al);
// read file containing Professor records.
ArrayList al = TextDB.readProfessors(filename);
for (int i = 0; i < al.size(); i++) {
Professor prof = (Professor) al.get(i);
System.out.println("Name " + prof.getName());
System.out.println("Contact " + prof.getContact());
}
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IOException > " + e.getMessage());
}
}
Second: check if the file exist or not and then skip the read of it if it doesn't
public static void main(String[] aArgs) {
TextDB txtDB = new TextDB();
String filename = "professor.txt";
try {
//check if the file exist
File oFile = new File(filename);
if(oFile.exist()) {
// read file containing Professor records.
ArrayList al = TextDB.readProfessors(filename);
for (int i = 0; i < al.size(); i++) {
Professor prof = (Professor) al.get(i);
System.out.println("Name " + prof.getName());
System.out.println("Contact " + prof.getContact());
}
}
Professor p1 = new Professor("Joseph", "jos#ntu.edu.sg", 67909999);
// al is an array list containing Professor objs
al.add(p1);
// write Professor record/s to file.
TextDB.saveProfessors(filename, al);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IOException > " + e.getMessage());
}
}
UPDATE after comment:
public static void main(String[] aArgs) {
TextDB txtDB = new TextDB();
String filename = "professor.txt";
try {
//check if the file exist
File oFile = new File(filename);
if(!oFile.exist()) {
oFile.mkdirs(); //optional
oFile.createNewFile();
}
// read file containing Professor records.
ArrayList al = TextDB.readProfessors(filename);
for (int i = 0; i < al.size(); i++) {
Professor prof = (Professor) al.get(i);
System.out.println("Name " + prof.getName());
System.out.println("Contact " + prof.getContact());
}
Professor p1 = new Professor("Joseph", "jos#ntu.edu.sg", 67909999);
// al is an array list containing Professor objs
al.add(p1);
// write Professor record/s to file.
TextDB.saveProfessors(filename, al);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("IOException > " + e.getMessage());
}
}
I'm doing a Phone Directory project and we have to read from a directory file telnos.txt
I'm using a Scanner to load the data from the file telnos.txt, using a loadData method from a previous question I asked here on StackOverflow.
I noticed attempts to find a user always returned Not Found, so I added a few System.out.printlns in the methods to help me see what was going on. It looks like the scanner isn't reading anything from the file. Weirdly, it is printing the name of the file as what should be the first line read, which makes me think I've missed something very very simple here.
Console
run:
telnos.txt

In your code:
Scanner read = new Scanner("telnos.txt");
Is not going to load file 'telnos.txt'. It is instead going to create a Scanner object that scans the String "telnos.txt".
To make the Scanner understand that it has to scan a file you have to either:
Scanner read = new Scanner(new File("telnos.txt"));
or create a File object and pass its path to the Scanner constructor.
In case you are getting "File not found" errors you need to check the current working directory. You could run the following lines and see if you are indeed in the right directory in which the file is:
String workingDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
System.out.println("Current working directory : " + workingDir);
You need to also catch the FileNotFoundException in the function as follows:
public void loadData(String sourceName) {
try {
Scanner read = new Scanner(new File("telnos.txt")).useDelimiter("\\Z");
int i = 1;
String name = null;
String telno = null;
while (read.hasNextLine()) {
if (i % 2 != 0)
name = read.nextLine();
else {
telno = read.nextLine();
add(name, telno);
}
i++;
}
}catch(FileNotFoundException ex) {
System.out.println("File not found:"+ex.getMessage);
}
}
You are actually parsing the filename not the actual file contents.
Instead of:
new Scanner("telnos.txt")
you need
new Scanner( new File( "telnos.txt" ) )
