Practice with InputStream/OutputStream

At some points this feels impossible. Sometimes I don't feel like I will ever fit in as a programmer. I don't have the focus to keep up with every task every day. I barely understand the lessons the first time. I have to talk to people close to me just to get back on my feet, which takes time to bring to the surface. But finding a solution that stems from my patience, understanding and style gives me a humble power. And that power is where I want to stem from. So keep beating me down. I'll thank you for it.

Hint: You need to compare with the ASCII code for ','. It's 44, to save you some time googling some terribly blurry tables

Great exercises.

With the second last task, you shouldn't write in description that streams must be closed, when you want the exact opposite for verification to go through. I deleted fileInputStream and fileOutputStream close() methods and it finally worked. EDIT: Same issue with the last task.

"train your processor" he says

task1808 needs tweaking, had a solution that did exactly what was required (ie split a file into 2 halves with the first half being largest by 1 in case of odd total bytes) and still got flagged for not outputting half and half

I feel like I'm stumbling around in the dark on these, using brute force trial and error methods to pass validation.

Like these exercises! :)

You're being pushed to complete tasks on the "Taming of InputStream and OutputStream in the wild". What does it mean ?

Hey CodeGym crew, Check out the Orcale java class hierarchy for IO objects. Everything (including BuffRead/Write, PrintWriter and such) comes from one of these four classes. And more broadly java.io. In reality it's pretty straight forward OOP stuff, but it took me forever to grasp haha Hope this helps!
