is there a better way to write this?

Question about the task

Resolved

i ended up with a do while loop, but it looks awkward to me. is there a better way to do it? public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); try (BufferedWriter file = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(buff.readLine()))) { String content; do { content = buff.readLine(); file.write(content); file.newLine(); } while (!content.equals("exit")); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } buff.close(); } }

I don't think there's the one solution for this sort of problems. You could use either loop and I guess the compiler will make comparable code out of it. What you could do is, to have the buff initialisation within the try-with-resources definition that way you do not need to think about closing it.

try (BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(reader.readLine()))) {

    while (true) {
        String input = reader.readLine();
        out.write(input + System.lineSeparator());
        if (input.equals("exit"))
            break;
    }
} catch (IOException ignore) {}
