I'm confused over the instructions. An array, as in singular?

One single line? Or are there more lines? Will each line contain the same exact setup, which appears to be:

The instructor give you the code you are supposed to write? Again I do not understand what you mean here.

I am not sure what happened. Can anyone assist? Thanks
The exception means that "Doe" is not a number.
Add some printlns to see the value of the variables like line, st, m... this will show the symptoms in more detail and help discover the cause
