Need a side project

[Tewg]

Hey,

I'm in gr. 12 comp sci. class for the last 3 month been using java but i find the work to mundane and simple (ie we do the problems right from the readty to start book.), we use ready to start java but I've kept up on using none hsa. code. I'm planning on going on in this post secondary and was looking for something to test what i know code wise and logic wise. If any one has any ideas of where i can get problems to solve or mini programs to write i could use the help.

Don't know if you want little applications or to solve problems.

http://icpcres.ecs.baylor.edu/onlinejudge/ is great for the latter.

Since im used to RTP I'm having a few problem with bufeered reader to import data files, I'm just wondering if there are any methods in it to read integers or find the end of file. other then reading sting and parsing it.

Do you mean for the online judge?

yes among other things i attend the contest around this area and always have to parse integers when reading them from a data file. I'm relativly new to java only 2-3 months into course so i haven't been able to learn all the classes in the packages we dont use.

I suggest Java 1.5+ with the Scanner class. Otherwise, you can use a combination of StringTokenizer and things like Integer.parseInt(). There is also StreamTokenizer, but it is suitable only in limited situations.

thank you, I still use RTP in class so it doesn't really come up all that often since hsa. package does it for us. I just don't like not to know how to do things.

The problems here are really fun.
