Getting java.lang.string never used error - java

Would anyone please explain why I am getting this error? Not just this one
Constructor 'StockMachine(java.lang.String)' is never used
but also one that says Method is never used. I am not entirely sure why this is happening. Here is a snippet of my code:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
public class StockMachine {
private StockPriceService [] stockPriceServices;
private String tickerSymbols[];
private final int NUMBEROFSERVICES = 3;
public StockMachine(String fileName) {
stockPriceServices = new StockPriceService[3];
stockPriceServices[0] = new UHStockService();
stockPriceServices[1] = new NLPService();
stockPriceServices[2] = new ExternalService();
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
Scanner scan = new Scanner(fis);
this.tickerSymbols = new String[scan.nextInt()];
int i = 0;
while (scan.hasNext()) {
this.tickerSymbols[i] = scan.next();
i++;
}
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Java NullPointerException when using scanner.hasNext();

I came up with the following code to read information from a file:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Reader {
private Scanner s;
public void openFile() {
try {
s = new Scanner(new File("file.txt"));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("File not found. Try again.");
}
}
public void readFile() {
while (s.hasNext()) {
String a = s.next();
String b = s.next();
String c = s.next();
int d = s.nextInt();
int e = s.nextInt();
int f = s.nextInt();
}
public void closeFile() {
s.close();
}
}
However, I get a NullPointer error on the (while (s.hasNext())) line and can't find a solution.
I'm working in Eclipse and the file I'm reading from is imported correctly into the project so that should not be an issue.
EDIT:
The way I access the methods:
public class Tester {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Reader read = new Reader();
read.openFile();
read.readFile();
read.closeFile();
}
}
As per the statement where NPE throws, while (s.hasNext()), it's most probable that the s is null pointer, you can add System.out.println(s); before that statement to double confirm it.
And for the reason why the s is null, there are two possible reasons:
You didn't invoke openFile before readFile
Exception is thrown when you open the file. The s is only a declaration and hasn't pointed to any object yet.
Maybe for a better practice, you can assert whether a instance is null or not before invoking its method. And as per my understanding, the readFile depends on the result of openFile, maybe you can set return value of openFile like a boolean value and check the return value before further open file operation. It's impossible to read a file which can't be even open, right?
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Reader {
private Scanner s;
public boolean openFile() {
try {
s = new Scanner(new File("file.txt"));
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("File not found. Try again.");
return false;
}
}
public void readFile() {
while (s.hasNext()) {
String a = s.next();
String b = s.next();
String c = s.next();
int d = s.nextInt();
int e = s.nextInt();
int f = s.nextInt();
}
}
The invoker can do something like below:
Reader reader = new Reader();
if (reader.openFile())
reader.readFile();

Java issue with reading a text file into an ArrayList

I have created a program that is supposed to read a text file for Integers and put them into an Arraylist, and then there are a bunch of methods to act on it. but, after some trouble shooting I am noticing that my program won't pull the integers from the text file in. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
package project1;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.lang.System;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] Args) {
Main mainObject = new Main();
mainObject.run();
}
public void run() {
**ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
String fileName = "p01-in.txt";
Scanner in = new Scanner(fileName);
while (in.hasNextInt()) {
list.add(in.nextInt());
int line = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("%s %n" + line);
}
in.close();**
ArrayList<Integer> listRunsUpCount = new ArrayList<>();
ArrayList<Integer> listRunsDnCount = new ArrayList<>();
Main findRuns = new Main();
listRunsUpCount = findRuns.FindRuns(list, 0);
listRunsDnCount = findRuns.FindRuns(list, 1);
ArrayList<Integer> listRunsCount = new ArrayList<>();
Main mergeRuns = new Main();
listRunsCount = mergeRuns.MergeRuns(listRunsUpCount,
listRunsDnCount);
Main Output = new Main();
Output.Output("p01-runs.txt", listRunsCount);
}
You can use BufferedReader to read file content line by line.
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
String line=reader.readLine();
while (line != null) {
line = reader.readLine();
list.add(Integer.parseInt(line.trim()));
}
reader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

The infinite monkey theorem in Java [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What causes a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and how do I prevent it?
(26 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have an exercise where are given a list of 850 basic words in English in the file basicWords.txt. I need to compose a text of 10000 words by randomly selecting words from the basic words list and write it to another file. I generated successfully the words, but I have a problem: I get an exception when the words are generated: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException at line 35. Also, how can I print the result into another text file?
I have a final solution for this:
package randomstring;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class RandomString {
public static void main(String[] args){
List<String> dictionary = readDictionaryFrom("basicWordsInEnglish.txt");
List<String> monkeyText = generateTextFrom(dictionary);
writeTextToFile(monkeyText, "final.txt");
String letters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ";
Object[] wrds = readFile("basicWordsInEnglish.txt");
int x = wrds.length;
String[] words = new String[x];
for(int i =0;i<x;i++){

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

}
Object[] array = al.toArray();
return array;

Why do you not use collections? According to description this task is very easy especially when don't use bunch for, while loops and meaningless variables like n,t,j. etc.
public void main(String... args) {
List<String> dictionary = readDictionaryFrom("path to dictionary");
List<String> monkeyText = generateTextFrom(dictionary);
writeTextToFile(monkeyText, "path to destination file");
}
public List<String> readDictionaryFrom(String path) {
try {
return Files.readAllLines(new File(path).toPath());
} catch(IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
public static void writeTextToFile(List<String> text, String path) {
try(BufferedWriter file = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(new File(path)))){
for(String word : text) {
file.write(word);
}
} catch(IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
public static List<String> generateTextFrom(List<String> words) {
Random generator = new Random();
List<String> result = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i = 0; i < 10_000; i++) {
int random = generator.nextInt(words.size());
result.add(words.get(random));
}
return result;
}
Use the debugging feature of your favorite IDE (might be Eclipse), set an exception breakpoint on ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, run your program in debug mode.
When it hits the exception, Eclipse will halt your program. Look at your variable values, especially which array you are accessing and what value the index has, and why it got a value outside of the array size.
By the way, your code line if(n.length()>4){ cannot produce an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, as there's no array indexing in that line.

using Java arraylist for storing data from scan from file

I am new to java, but not coding. I am trying to figure out java because it's part of my class this term and I am having a really hard problem grasping the idea of it and implementing things in java.
my problem Is that I am not sure if I am correctly using the arraylist to grab data from the scan of the file and input it into a arraylist to sort and print at a later time. I am just having issues picking up on java any help would be great since I am new to java.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.*;
public class MissionCount
{
private static ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
// returns an InputStream that gets data from the named file
private static InputStream getFileInputStream(String fileName) throws Exception {
InputStream inputStream;
try {
inputStream = new FileInputStream(new File(fileName));
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) { // no file with this name exists
inputStream = null;
throw new Exception("unable to open the file -- " + e.getMessage());
}
return inputStream;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
if (args.length != 1) {
System.out.println("USage: MissionCount <datafile>");
//System.exit(1);
}
try {
System.out.printf("CS261 - MissionCount - Chad Dreher%n%n");
int crewcount = 0;
int misscount = 0;
InputStream log = getFileInputStream(args[0]);
Scanner sc = new Scanner(log);
sc.useDelimiter(Pattern.compile(",|\n"));
while (sc.hasNext()) {
String crewMember = sc.next();
list.add(crewMember);
String mission = sc.next();
list.add(mission);
}
sc.close();
// Add code to print the report here
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
InputStream log = getFileInputStream(args[0]);
Change that line to as follows :-
File log = new File(args[0])
that should work!

ArrayList not persisting between methods

I'm trying to load a csv file into an arrayList to later break it up and store it. Between my methods the arrayList is being reset to null. I'm confused as to the cause and would be grateful for any advice

try {

// Here BufferedInputStream is added for fast reading.
bis = new BufferedInputStream(fis);
dis = new DataInputStream(bis);
// dis.available() returns 0 if the file does not have more lines.
while (dis.available() != 0) {
// this statement reads the line from the file and print it to
// the console.
tempArray.add(dis.readLine());
}
setFileContentArray(tempArray);
// dispose all the resources after using them.
fis.close();
bis.close();
dis.close();
fileContent = fileContentArray.get((fileContentArray.size() - 2));
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void next() {
ArrayList<String> tempArray = getFileContentArray();
int size = fileContentArray.size();
if (counter <= size) {
counter++;
fileContent2 = tempArray.get(counter);
} else {
counter = 0;
}
}
}
Many Thanks
