Help with FileReader/Writer in java please!

[David(0.0)]

I recently did the Dwite contest and failed miserably because i coded my fileReader and Writer wrong lol.
It would be a huge help if someone can send me a link that explains how to use it.

I'm not sure of how much knowledge you have of java, but you can easily create BufferedReader (or Scanner if you are using Java 1.5+) and PrintWriter objects for input and output respectively.

Java 1.4.2 (should be supported by your school) http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/

Java 1.6 http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/

In the APIs, look for BufferedReader and PrintWriter and look for the methods that you can use.

Java:

//Example Creation of the objects for File I/O BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader (new FileReader("DATA.txt")); PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter (new FileWriter ("OUT.txt")); bf.readLine() //read a lint of input pw.println() //write a line of output. pw.close() //don't forget this!
