# Lecture for February 20th

|
## Reading a File
|
|
|
|
You can get input from a file instead of from the terminal
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream("myFile.txt");
|
|
// Our familiar Scanner
|
|
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(fileIn);
|
|
// We can use our usual Scanner methods
|
|
String line = scnr.nextLine();
|
|
fileIn.close(); // Remember to close the file when you're finished with it!
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Reviewing Scanner Methods
|
|
|
|
To understand some of the Scanner methods we need to be aware of the "newline" character. This character is equivalent to the `Enter` button on the keyboard.
|
|
|
|
`scnr.nextLine()` This get's all the characters in the buffer up to the newline character.
|
|
|
|
`scnr.next()` Grabs the characters in the next "token". Tokens are usually separated by any whitespace type character (spaces, enters, tabs, etc.)
|
|
|
|
## Writing to a File
|
|
|
|
Prints information to a file instead of to the screen
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("myOutfile.txt");
|
|
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(fileOut);
|
|
out.println("Print this as the first line.");
|
|
out.flush(); // Pushes the file changes to the file
|
|
fileOut.close(); // If you forget this then it won't remember your changes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Arrays
|
|
|
|
Arrays are containers of fixed size. It contains a fixed number of values of the **same type**. (Ex: 10 integers, 2 strings, 5 booleans)
|
|
|
|
Declaration
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
int[] array; // This declares an integer array
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Initialization
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
array = new int[7]; // This states that this array can hold up to 7 integers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Storing a value in an array
|
|
|
|
- Square bracket notation is used
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
int[] array = new int[7];
|
|
array[0] = 5; // Stores 5 into the first slot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now let us attempt to retrieve the value
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
int temp = array[0];
|
|
System.out.println(temp); // Prints "5"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Traversing an Array
|
|
|
|
Let's say we have the following array
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
int[] numbers = {3, 5, 2, 7, 9};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's print out each of the values in the array
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
|
|
System.out.print("value in " + i " is " + numbers[i]);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Finding the maximum value in an Array
|
|
|
|
```java
|
|
int highest = numbers[0];
|
|
for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
|
|
if (numbers[i] > highest) {
|
|
highest = numbers[x];
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
