    Default stack project-runtime error

    hey guys, I wrote a code for my java class project. it is about stacks. you can see my code below. I don know why but it gives
    runtime error. please help me out.

    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test
    {
    private static char[] stack=new char[100000];
    private static int stackPoint=-1;
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
    System.out.println("Enter file name: ");
    BufferedReader in=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    String file=in.readLine();
    Scanner scan=new Scanner(new FileReader(file));
    out:while (scan.hasNext())
    {
    String stg=scan.nextLine();
    for(int i=0; i<stg.length(); i++)
    {
    if(stg.charAt(i)=='{' || stg.charAt(i)=='(' || stg.charAt(i)=='[')
    {
    push(stg.charAt(i));
    }
    else if(i!=stg.length()-1 && stg.charAt(i)=='/' && stg.charAt(i+1)=='*')
    {
    push('/');
    i++;
    }
    else if(stg.charAt(i)=='}' || stg.charAt(i)==')' || stg.charAt(i)==']')
    {
    char c=pop();
    if(c=='-')
    break out;
    if(stg.charAt(i)=='}' && c!='{' || stg.charAt(i)==')' && c!='(' || stg.charAt(i)==']' && c!='[')
    {
    push(c);
    break out;
    }
    }
    else if(i!=stg.length()-1 && stg.charAt(i)=='*' && stg.charAt(i+1)=='/')
    {
    char c=pop();
    if(c=='-')
    break out;
    if(c!='/')
    {
    push(c);
    break out;
    }
    }
    }
     
    }
    if(stackPoint==-1)
    {
    System.out.println("YES");
    }
    else
    System.out.println("NO");
     
    }static void push(char c)
    {
    	stackPoint++;
    	stack[stackPoint]=c;
    	}
    	static char pop()
    	{
    	stackPoint--;
    	if(stackPoint<=-2)
    	return '-';
    	return stack[stackPoint+1];
    	}
    	}

    Enter file name:
    8
    Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: 8 (Sistem belirtilen dosyayı bulamıyor)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at java.io.FileReader.<init>(Unknown Source)
    at Test.main(Test.java:13)

    "8" is an example. whatever I write as an input, it gives me the same error.

    FileNotFoundException: 8
    Is because of these lines:
    String file=in.readLine();
    Scanner scan=new Scanner(new FileReader(file));
    What do you want the Scanner class to do?
    You are asking it to read from a file whose name is in the file variable.
    Is there a file named: 8

    When the program asks this question:
    Enter file name:
    You need to type in the name of an existing file.

    I want scanner to read the file. actually the stack is determining if the input is valid or not and push or pop that data to the stack. example:
    {{([])}} is a legal sequence but ()[]/* is not.

    Is 8 the name of the file? You need to enter the name of a file.
    What is the problem with entering the name of an existing file when the program asks for it?

    no the name of the file must be "Test. java", but it does not accept it , it does not accept any input

    Is there a file named: Test.java in the current directory when you execute your program?
    That is a strange name for a data file. It looks like the name of your java source file.
    Why do you want the program to read your source file? This is very confusing.

    Create a small text file named: Test.data and add to it the data you want your program to read.
    Then enter: Test.data when the program asks you: Enter file name:

    How are you executing your program?

    Do you know how to use an editor? Like NotePad or wordpad
    Do you know how to enter data into an editor?
    Do you know how to save what you typed into the editor to a file?

    If you can NOT do the above, how did you ever try to write a computer program?

    Forget about reading data from a file.
    Put the data into the Scanner class constructor and read it from there:
    Scanner scan=new Scanner("{{([])}}\n"); // use this data for testing your program

    ok it compiles when I use Scanner scan=new Scanner("{{([])}}\n"); but how am I supposed to make it work when it is Scanner scan=new Scanner(new FileReader(file));

    Learn how to create a data file.
    Then learn where to put the data file so the program can find it.
    Then give the name of the file to the program when it asks for it.

    Sorry, I don't.
    Google is the only place I can suggest.

    Does the code do what you want?

    I do not know what your mean by "sequence of letters".
    Are you referring to the output of a sort. For example if b, c, a were sorted the sequence would be a,b,c

    For what it's worth, the posted code finds and opens a file called 'Test.java' if such a file exists in the current directory. What it does then is anybody's guess. From the look of it, I suspect the code was written by a C programmer or translated from C to Java (how often do you see a 'break to label' construct in well-structured OO code?).
