Having trouble with java homework...

[purinlove88]

Hi,

I'm really green to java so I am having some trouble doing my homework.

I just need someone to walk me through what should be done and I'll do the coding on my own..

I'm required to take a program that allows people to put in data for their birthdays and write it in a way that information is saved to an external file. How do you actually do it?

Similarly, I was wondering, if you are going to take this external file and open it to show the information, what do you do?

Thanks...

use java.io BufferReader and BufferdWriter

use BufferReader/BufferdWriter with FileReader/FileWriter

i can answer ur second question, i think..

it actually depends because before you put data into a file, you first have to determine what type of file is that you are going to use where the data will be coming in.

it can be a txt, doc, dat and etc.. so just double click it if you want to open it
