    what's wrong in this code:

    import java.io.*;

    public class WriteFile{

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
    BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

    FileOutputStream fop = new FileOutputStream(f);
    File f = new File("textfile1.txt");
    System.out.print("Enter your name: ");
    String winner1 = input.readLine();

    System.out.print("Enter name1");
    String winner2 = input.readLine();
    System.out.print("Enter name2");
    String winner3 = input.readLine();
    System.out.print("Enter name3");
    String winner4 = input.readLine();
    System.out.print("Enter name4");


    if(f.exists()){
    String str= winner1;
    String str2= winner2;
    String str3= winner3;
    String str4= winner4;

    fop.write(str.getBytes());
    fop.write(str2.getBytes());
    fop.write(str3.getBytes());
    fop.write(str4.getBytes());


    fop.flush();
    fop.close();
    System.out.println("The data has been written");
    }

    else
    System.out.println("This file is not exist");
    }
    }

    Welcome to the Forum, please read the welcome message in the forum announcements on how to ask for help.

    Well, variable f seems to be used before it's defined.
    once you fix that, you could use some polishing with the print statements, adding spaces where needed...
    also, I don't think you'll need the else block, the file was created on my computer.
