[knes167]

Hello. I'm doing a homework assignment where im required to use switch statement and exceptions. II have to turn in three programs that use it in different ways and this is the first. Its compiling find put I get a exception at line 47
Can anyone point out any errors?




// Application CountPunct counts punctuation marks in a file
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
public class CountPunct
{
public static void main(String[] args)
throws FileNotFoundException
{
FileReader file = new FileReader("Punct.dat");
Scanner inFile = new Scanner(file);
String line;
char symbol;
int periodCt = 0;
int commaCt = 0;
int questionCt = 0;
int colonCt = 0;
int semicolonCt = 0;
int count;

while (inFile.hasNextLine()) // Loop til end of data
{
line = inFile.nextLine();
count = 0;
while (count < line.length())
{ // Loop til end of line
symbol = line.charAt(count);
// TO BE FILLED IN: count punctuation marks with a switch statement
switch (symbol){
case 1: symbol='.';
periodCt = periodCt+1;
break;
case 2: symbol=',';
commaCt = commaCt+1;
break;
case 3: symbol='?';
questionCt = questionCt+1;
break;
case 4: symbol=':';
colonCt = colonCt+1;
break;
case 5: symbol=';';
semicolonCt = semicolonCt+1;
break;
case 6: System.out.println("No punctuations found.");
}
count++;
}
}
// TO BE FILLED IN: output
System.out.println("In file "+file+" there are "+periodCt+" period(s).");
System.out.println("In file "+file+" there are "+commaCt+" comma(s).");
System.out.println("In file "+file+" there are "+questionCt+" question mark(s).");
System.out.println("In file "+file+" there are "+colonCt+" colon(s).");
System.out.println("In file "+file+" there are "+semicolonCt+" semicolon(s).");
}
} //END OF PROGRAM
the output im getting is below:

In file java.io.FileReader@72766b42 there are 0 period(s).
In file java.io.FileReader@72766b42 there are 0 comma(s).
In file java.io.FileReader@72766b42 there are 0 question mark(s).
In file java.io.FileReader@72766b42 there are 0 colon(s).
In file java.io.FileReader@72766b42 there are 0 semicolon(s).

This is the output you get when a class does not override the toString method from the Object class. Perhaps you should print the filename instead.
