really, no one want to read

We already talked about this. You should have put all these simple Java files in one topic. This program might be more useful in the Java walkthrough page, list, thingy if you explained what you did.

Also, are you working on something new now? You should be after displaying a solid grounding in Java programming. (I'm supposted to be doing English homework, In case my language seems flowery.)

The way you have manipulated the IO stream to get input is rather impressive than just using a traditional bufferedreader (filereader ("filename"))

As said before, I think it would serve a better job in the compsci community by putting the code in the walkthrough page.

Also I wanted to mention some difficulty I had while reading your code. I highly recommend you to use syntax highlighting when displaying code. This could be done by adding the following tags :

[syntax="language (in this case, java)"]

[/syntax]

You can learn more useful things about tags and display for this forum at
