The bonus tasks were sweet but certainly not simple for me. I learned a lot shall we say :) If you want some practice you should definitely try them. I sometimes struggle how to structure my program. What goes into main() and should i create a method for a particular piece of coding. I do get them validated in the end but whether they are good pieces of code....

How do you round down when the float is 2.50?

I completed 10 / 13 of these, but tried hard on every one of them. Conceptually, they all made sense. Hope I'm still on the generally right track...

I think CodeGym should allow checking solutions multiple times to facilitate learning from mistakes.

It would be fun, sometimes you're curious about different way to resolve task and you can't check it. So loss. I'm curious, why is that?

In task 1, what is the meaning of args[0] in new FileReader(args[0]))?
Hoa Nguyen Level 15, Australia Expert
18 February 2022
I got it. In case someone is confused like me, the question asks to pass the file name as the first argument, thus FileReader(args[0]) is to achieve that.

私は最後のものに苦労しています...😞、それを確認しようとするたびに私はこれらを間違えます • When the program is started with the arguments "-u id productName price quantity", the product information in the file should be updated. • When the program is started with the arguments "-d id", the line for the product with the specified id should be removed from the file.

Which task are you referring to?

Skyrocketing difficulty 🤯 I'd love to have an overview when to use which reader/writer. And which one does exactly what. I know and used FileInputStream, FileOutputStream, FileWriter, FileReader, ByteArrayInputStream, ByteArrayOutputStream, BufferedInputStream, BufferedReader, BufferedWriter, InputStreamReader (...) But I am really confused about the differences, return types and when to use which. before doing the exercises, I recommend to look further into String.format. e.g. here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moQ3Kr8ouiU And how to use TreeSet and substring, too. And make sure not to write and read from the same file at the same time! Keep going!

Hey Jurij, I don't know if you have the answer nowadays, but this is what I've found and understood: Basically, the streams are working with bytes, while the Writer/Reader with chars. And so, as BufferedStreams are faster than Streams, I guess that BufferedWriter/Reader are faster than Writer/Readers 🙂 So, that means: 1) If you are dealing with binary data (e.g. an image) use Streams. 2) If you are using non-ASCII Unicode characters, e.g. Chinese, use Readers/Writers. 3) If you are using ordinary ASCII text (the traditional 0-127 characters) you can (usually) use either. (thanks to this stackoverflow answer )

Hi Jurij, Streams/Readers: I think once everybody should take the time to study this topic in the Oracle API, for example: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/io/InputStream.html Based on this, I have drawn Stream family trees and Reader family trees for myself, and I made notes about the main classes by translating them into my own native language. I don't claim to understood everything... but you can certainly learn from it, it makes the picture clearer! There you can see exactly what each method returns, what the constructor expects, etc etc.
