    Default Simple I/O Java Error

    Im supposed to write this java program, and im having a problem, and I cannot figure out why I am getting an Unhandled Exception error.

    I put a comment at the error line.

    PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter (writingfile); (Line where I am getting uNhandled exception error.)



    Write a program that reads numeric operations from a
    file and writes their result into another file.

    Numbers & results are integer.
    • Operators (+ - * / ) have equal precedence.
    • Input file
    • Name: “input.txt”
    • There can be many operations, each on its own line, e.g.,
    2 + 3 * 10 / 2
    10 / 3 * 2
    • Output file
    • Name: “output.txt”
    • The result of each operation is written in one line, e.g.,
    25

    Code ~

    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    //There is NO PRECEDENCE in the math from the file
    public class Operations {
    public static void main (String [] args) {
     
    	ArrayList<String> inputs = new ArrayList<String>();	
    int [] array = new int[10]; //change this once the add to method works.
    String k = "";
     
    	try {	
     
    		File inputfile = new File("math.txt");
    		Scanner in = new Scanner (inputfile);
    	while (in.hasNextLine()) {
    		inputs.add (in.nextLine() );
    	}
    	in.close(); //all objects are inside of the ArrayList String type
     
    	for (int i = 0; i < inputs.size(); i++) { //attempting to change from String to int
    		k = inputs.get(i);
    		array[i] = Integer.parseInt(k);
     
    	}
    		}
     
    			catch (IOException e) {
    			System.out.println("You done fucked up real good.");
    	}
     
    	File writingfile = new File ("output.txt");  //Writing to the file
    	PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter (writingfile);
     
    	for (int i =0; i < array.length; i++ ) {
     
     
     
    		writer.println(array[i]);
    	}
    	writer.close();
    	}
     
     
    	}


    The file I ma reading the ints from looks like this. (named math.txt)

    1+2*3/3
    1+2+3+4*3/3
    1+2+4

    Help would be awesome. Thanks.

    I think you are wrong in this line:
    array[i] = Integer.parseInt(k);

    "*,/,+,-" may could not be parsered into an int.

    So then how would go about parsing the operators when you are reading the files from an input file?

    You do not need to parse the operators. You can leave them as a String or use charAt to get then as a char.
