Thread: Password writing file

Hey,

I am writing a program that asks you if you would like to save or load passwords to a file, then it runs the specific routine. Here is the code:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
 
public class Passwords {
 
	public static void main(String[] arg) throws IOException  {
 
		String[] passwords = new String[10];
		int place;
		String pass;
		String sl;  //the variable that figures out whether you're going to save or load passwords
 
		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		System.out.print("Would you like to save or load passwords?");
		sl = scan.nextLine();
 
		switch (sl.toLowerCase())  {
 
		case "save":
			save(passwords);
		}
		case "load":
			load(passwords);
 
 
	}
		static void save (String[] passwords) throws IOException  {
 
		passwords = new String[10];
		int place = 0;
		String pass;
 
		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		while (place<10)  {
			System.out.print("?");
			pass = scan.nextLine();
			passwords[place] = pass;
			place++;
			if (pass == null)  {
				break;
			}
 
		}
 
		FileWriter saveFile = new FileWriter("passwords.txt");
 
		place = 0;
 
		while (place<10)  {
			saveFile.write(passwords[place] + "\n");
			place++;
		}
 
		saveFile.close();
 
	}
 
	static void load(String[] passwords) throws IOException  {
 
		int place = 0;
 
		BufferedReader saveFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("passwords.txt"));
 
		System.out.print("Your passwords are: ");
 
		while (place<10)  {
			passwords[place] = saveFile.readLine();
			System.out.print(passwords[place]);
			place++;
 
		}
 
	}
}

My problem is that in the main() routine of the program, in the switch, at the load routine, it has both "load" and load(passwords) are underlined. It tells me that I cannot convert fron string to boolean, and that the expression must return a value. It is obvious that all of the routines are void, so I am not sure what to do.

Help?

No, I'm using 7.

Can anyone else help?

It is because you have written the following case out of switch { }
case "load":
load(passwords);

instead of ending switch i.e. } after save(passwords);
end } after load(passwords);
i guess that will solve the problem
