Hate is a strong word my friend, Im a sorry I am not a fantastic programmer as you surely must be, so maybe you should please calm down, come on deep breaths in and out clear your mind of horrible cross posters. See I bet that feels a lot better, Have a nice day :D

I don't know you so I can't hate you; nor do I hate the fact that you're a lousy programmer; what I do hate is the fact that they want lousy programmers to do a job that is beyond their capabilities ...

kind regards,

Jos

It has nothing to do with your being a good or bad programmer and all to do with being inconsiderate. At least read and answer the responses in your cross-post. Else, why should people take time out to help you if you don't at least let them know that you are taking the time to read what they post?

I am thankful for any help that is given to me. It is appreciated. And I am sorry for cross posting as I was unaware it was so irritating to people and I do read all the replies to the posts I have. I may not understand them all but I do read them. I am just trying to ask people who are more experienced than me in java for help. So please show a little patience and tolerance, and please dont be offensive by saying you hate me Fubarable, JosAh is right you don't even know me. If you did you would know that I am not trying to irritate anybody I genuinely asking for some help.
By the way thank you JosAh for the code you wrote it works and prints out the values in the terminal (linux), however I wish for the values to be printed in the text file "value-of-y.txt"
Again thanks.

Reading from and writing to files must be one of the most asked questions for pretty much any programming language. Has it ever occured to you to go to a nifty little page called Google and typing in "java writing to file"? Or better yet, have you heard of a company called Sun? I hope so since they made Java, and I have a hunch that their website contains many guides, tutorials and examples on any questions and themes you might have.
EDIT: Ok, I reread my reply and I came of as kind of a condescending prick. That was not my intention, was just trying to be sarcastic.

Then again please reply to the replies in your cross-post, not here. Your not replying is effectively ignoring all the folks who answered you, and again, no one likes to do work that is ignored. If you don't understand something in the posts, ask.

I wish for the values to be printed in the text file "value-of-y.txt"

Do this before my code runs:

PrintStream oldOut= System.out;
System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("yourfile.txt")));

and do this after my code has run:

System.out.close();
System.setOut(oldOut);

... and leave my code unchanged ...

kind regards,

Jos

The lack of respect for programming is astounding :D;)
