Programming Assignment #8
(50 points) This assignment focuses on reading input file, array structures, arrylist and classes. You have to
use the student class as shown below and ArrayList as we discussed at the class. Be sure to include a
short comment at the beginning of your program as well as a short comment for each method describing
what it does. For this assignment you are limited to the language features in Chapters 1-8 shown in lecture
or the textbook.
Write a Java program that outputs a list of students from the given data file. Download the data file
(student.txt) from our web site to the same folder as your program. You have to input the name of the
data file from keyboard. You have to use input.hasNext()or input.hasNextInt() or
input.hasNextDouble()with while loop when your program reads tokens from the file. We are
assuming that you don’t know how many lines are in the data file. The file contains student name followed
by gender and age. Your program should output each gender, total number of students, and each student’s
id, name and age belonging in the gender on screen. For example, if your data file contains the following
data:
1 John m 18
2 William m 22
3 Susan f 21
4 Jack m 19
5 Jennifer f 18
Your program should produce the following output on the screen (not the text file):
What is the file name? student.dat
Female students: 2
ID Name Age
-----------------
3 Susan 21
5 Jennifer 18
Male students: 3
ID Name Age
-----------------
1 John 18
2 William 22
4 Jack 19
// student class
class student {
String id;
String name;
String gender;
int age;
}
