Reading a file

Nothing to hide here, read a line from the console, if you are at this pont you remember our friend BufferedReader with System.in to prompt for the title of the file. Store it as a string or whatever you want. Pass it as the name for a FileInputStream Do another Bufferred Reader but instead of System.in pass the the file from prior step. Do a while loop with .readLine() on the file. System.out.println() inside the loop. Presto! Hopefully I am not giving too much...

The task conditions are insufficient. Are we supposed to print the file contents all one one line or on multiple lines? If it has to be on multiple lines, by what criteria? Should we search for spaces to break it into multiple lines? The task conditions say nothing about this, but validation error "too few lines" suggests there is a hidden condition here they forgot to list.

the task itself wasn't too bad, but had to spend a ton of time reading/studying, both the Professor's stuff and googling, to get the hang of the InputStream. But, it was worth it. I think I'm getting it. Happy coding! :)

I liked the fact that copying and pasting will not solve this one. I had to make my own changes...

i needed to change two things to pass. i had to use print instead of println and cast my data to char in the print method. but i don't know the reason why that was necessary, lol...

Tough one. The IOException was throwing me off.

That was a cool exercise. I really enjoyed that.

Validation says : "The program displays too few lines." What is wrong ?

what should i give here ?
