Read data from a .txt file and create an object array

I need some help please: I'm making a flight roster simulation in java. The roster will hold 25 passengers, 22 of which come from a text file (PassengerList.txt). For each passenger there are 3 required data points; name, seat class & seat # and 2 optional data points frequent flyer number & frequent flyer points. Each passenger is on its own line and each data point is separated by a comma. For example:
Allen George,Economy Class,8A,#GEO456,10000
Judy Hellman,Economy Class,8B
I have this class, along with constructor so far:
public class Passengers
{
private String name, type, seat, flyernum;
private int points;
//Constructor to intialize the instance data
Passengers(String full_name, String seat_type, String seat_number,
String frequent_flyer_number, int frequent_flyer_points)
{
name=full_name;
type=seat_type;
seat=seat_number;
flyernum=frequent_flyer_number;
points=frequent_flyer_points;
} //end Passengers
What I need to do is to read each line from the text file and create the array, i.e. make the first look line look something like this:
Passenger passenger1 = new Passenger ("Allen George","Economy Class","8A"
,"#GEO456",10000)
Into an array like this:
Passenger[0] = passenger1;
I am obviously a java beginner, but I have been caught up on this for so long and I keep getting different error message after error message when I try something new. I have been using Scanner to read the file. The text file does not need to be overwritten, just read and scanned by the program. Only Arrays can be used as well, ArrayList is a no go. Only two files too, the Passengers class and the main method. Please help! Thank you!

You can do it as bellow :
First you need a Passenger.class. It would look something like this (Note that I have added a toString():
public class Passenger {
private String name, type, seat, flyernum;
private int points;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getType() {
return type;
}
public void setType(String type) {
this.type = type;
}
public String getSeat() {
return seat;
}
public void setSeat(String seat) {
this.seat = seat;
}
public void setFlyernum(String flyernum) {
this.flyernum = flyernum;
}
public int getPoints() {
return points;
}
public void setPoints(int points) {
this.points = points;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Passenger{" +
"name='" + name + '\'' +
", type='" + type + '\'' +
", seat='" + seat + '\'' +
", flyernum='" + flyernum + '\'' +
", points=" + points +
'}';
}
}
Now for getting the passenger details from the file, I have create GetPassengerDetails.class, it handles reading in the data from the CSV file and allocating the right values for each Passenger.
public class GetPassengerDetails{
/** Reads the file one line at a time. Each line will is that split up and translated into a Passenger object */
public List<Passenger> getPassengersFromFile(BufferedReader reader) throws IOException {
List<Passenger> passengers = new ArrayList<>();
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
String[] passengerDetails = line.trim().split(",");
Passenger passenger = new Passenger();
for (int i = 0; i < passengerDetails.length; i++) {
SetPassengerName(passengerDetails, passenger, i);
setPassengerFlightType(passengerDetails, passenger, i);
setPassengerSeatNumber(passengerDetails, passenger, i);
SetPassengerFlyerNumber(passengerDetails, passenger, i);
setPassengerPoints(passengerDetails, passenger, i);
}
passengers.add(passenger);
}
return passengers;
}
private void setPassengerPoints(String[] passengerDetails, Passenger passenger, int i) {
if(i< passengerDetails.length && i == 4) {
passenger.setPoints(Integer.parseInt(String.valueOf(passengerDetails[4])));
}
}
private void SetPassengerFlyerNumber(String[] passengerDetails, Passenger passenger, int i) {
if(i< passengerDetails.length && i == 3) {
passenger.setFlyernum(String.valueOf(passengerDetails[3]));
}
}
private void setPassengerSeatNumber(String[] passengerDetails, Passenger passenger, int i) {
if(i< passengerDetails.length && i == 2) {
passenger.setSeat(String.valueOf(passengerDetails[2]));
}
}
private void setPassengerFlightType(String[] passengerDetails, Passenger passenger, int i) {
if(i< passengerDetails.length && i == 1) {
passenger.setType(String.valueOf(passengerDetails[1]));
}
}
private void SetPassengerName(String[] passengerDetails, Passenger passenger, int i) {
if(i< passengerDetails.length & i == 0) {
passenger.setName(String.valueOf(passengerDetails[i]));
}
}
}
Here is the main method to test the above code :
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String fileName = "resources/passengers.csv";
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
GetPassengerDetails passengerDetails = new GetPassengerDetails();
List<Passenger> passengers = passengerDetails.getPassengersFromFile(reader);
// For Testing Purposes lets get the Passengers
for (Passenger passenger : passengers
) {
System.out.println(passenger.toString());
}
}
}
After running the main method, this is the result that you will get :

Use this main method to read data from text files and converge data into the Passengers object. The whole list of passengers in passengersList objec.
public static void main(String[] args) {
List<Passengers> passengersList = new ArrayList<Passengers>();
File file = new File("Your file location..");
try {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String st;
while ((st = br.readLine()) != null){
String[] data = st.split(",");
String flyNumber = null;
int flyPoints = 0;
switch (data.length){
case 4: flyNumber = data[3];
break;
case 5: flyNumber = data[3];
flyPoints = Integer.valueOf(data[4]);
break;
}
Passengers passenger = new Passengers(data[0], data[1], data[2], flyNumber, flyPoints);
passengersList.add(passenger);
}
System.out.println(passengersList.get(0));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

method header for user-defined array

public class studentDriver {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("How many students are there?: ");
int numberOfstuds = scan.nextInt();
int[] nOEarray = new int[numberOfstuds];
System.out.println("\nEnter names of students up to the entered amount (" + numberOfstuds + "):");
String[] namesArray = new String[numberOfstuds];
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfstuds; i++) {
namesArray[i] = scan.next();
}
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(namesArray));
}
}
That is part of my code for letting user input array size, however I am tasked with using the header below just for a method to get the size of the array, but I have tried inserting it and keep getting different error messages such as needs body(if I put semi-colon) or "requires ';'" if I don't and when I put curly braces around the section where it gets the array size it returns errors :Syntax error, insert "[ ]" to complete Dimension
- Syntax error, insert ";" to complete BlockStatements
- Syntax error on token "create", AnnotationName expected after
this token
public static Student[] create()
Here is the Student class
public class Student {
//private data members

private long idNUmber;

public Student(){

idNUmber=0;
}
//overloaded constructor

Cant get program to display properly in java

So im trying to invoke my toString method in my AccountWithException class to print the user input contained in the file as well, but for some reason i cant crack as to why it wont print. I tried to do System.out.println(pw.toString())..only to get the memory location constantly being printed to me. Initially i was just reading the file back in however my instructor specified this: "Use the overloaded toString method to output to the console and file (via PrintWriter)" I used the overloaded toString for my object but cant figure it out for my file. Is there something ive overlooked in my code or is this a simple Sysout.println() statement? Requirements have been added.
1.) Prompt user for an output filename. Create a file for text output.
2.) If file exists prompt user for a new filename. Do not continue until a valid, non existing filename is entered and file is opened for output.
3.) Prompt user for first name, last name, balance, (account id and annual interest rate can be constants)
4.) Create AccountWithExceptionObject that includes the user specified data.
5.) If valid data in the object exists: output the object information to the display AS WELL AS the opened output file. USE the overloaded toString() method when outputting the data. If invalid data exists (< 0) then throw your custom InvalidBalanceException.
6.) Use finally block to ensure output file has been properly closes.

Try to slap an #Override on your tostring method.
// override of Object method
#Override
public String toString() {
// return string with formatted data
// left-align 20 character column and right-align 15 character column
return String.format("%-20s%15d\n%-20s%15tD\n%-20s%15s\n%-20s%15.2f%%\n%-20s%,15.2f\n",
"ID:", this.id,
"Created:", this.dateCreated,
"Owner:", this.name,
"Annual Rate:", this.annualInterestRate,
"Balance:", this.balance);
}
}
Also, when naming your classes, you shouldn't put "WithException" on them if they throw an exception. This class should simply be "Account".

Subclasses and Superclasses

I'm trying to build a program that has certain requirements, the main being I have a class, and then make a subclass that adds a feature. I create the class DVD, and then I create the subclass.
I'm adding a method to add the year to the list, as well as a restocking fee which will be added to the final inventory value that prints. I built the subclass, created the overriding methods, but it is not being added to the output displayed. Not only that, but it is placing the input year in the wrong place. I am not getting any errors, it just acts like the subclass doesn't exist, even though my DVD class says that some of the methods are being overridden.
I'm thinking I must be missing something where I am supposed to call the new method, and maybe I read the resource wrong, but it sounded like I only needed to call the DVD class, and the methods I wanted overridden would be overridden automatically. I'd prefer to just add this information to the superclass, but it is a requirement for an assignment.
So I'm wondering how do I actually go about calling these override methods when I need them to add these new features? I keep seeing resources telling me how to create them, but not actually implement them.
From my main method, I call the dvd class and then print it. however, it only prints what's in the original dvd class, except for the odd addition of adding the year to where the product ID should be.
public class DVD {
String name;
int id;
int items;
double cost;
//default constructor
public DVD() {
name = "";
id = 0;
items = 0;
cost = 0.0;
}//end default constructor
//constructor to initialize object
public DVD(String dvdName, int itemNum, int quantity, double price) {
name = dvdName;
id = itemNum;
items = quantity;
cost = price;
}//end constructor
//method to calculate value

if you want to use the new methods that you wrote in ExtendedDVD you need to instantiate that class you are still calling the original dvd class so you will still get those methods.
for example
DVD dvd = new DVD(dvdName, itemNum, quantity, price);
and
DVD Dvd = new ExtendedDVD(dvdName, itemNum, quantity, price);
are two different things
also if you look in your main method you are assigning itemNum twice that is why it is showing you the year

In the main method you just instantiate a DVD object, not an ExtendedDVD object.
replace
DVD dvd= new DVD(dvdName,itemNum,quantity,price);
by something like
DVD dvd= new ExtendedDVD(year);
And obviously, you may want another constructor in ExtendedDVD

Syntax and logic for moving player around game board array using do while loop java programming

I am trying to make a player move around a 2d board array in java while utilizing accessor and mutator methods to update the attributes of my object so I am going to try and make this question as in depth as possible. I do not understand the logic or the syntax that I must use to properly move the player and return the required information. I am working from code that was developed. My job is to move the player around the board and return information from a monopoly text file including the player position and new bank balance. Additionally, I have to ask if the player wants to continue and stop the game if the bank balance is zero. I really need help with the do while loop in the main method. I cannot get the syntax correct and do not have a great understanding of how the logic works. I am posting all of my code thus far.

}
}

Start with writting down what should happen in the loop. I suggest some of the follwing:
print state of the board
throw dices and move player
perform action on new square (i.e ask player whether he wants to buy it or take the money if thesquare belongs to somebody else)
go too top, but now with the next player
You best write functions for all these steps. And as said, you'll probably want more than one player instance.
Edit:
Syntactically, you've almost got everything there already.
This prints the current state of the board, just copy it where you need it:
for( i=0; i<40; i++)
System.out.println( square[i].toString() );
The code in the loop moves the player:
rollOne=diceOne.roll();
rollTwo=diceTwo.roll();
rollTotal=rollOne+rollTwo;
BoardSquare newPosition=square[thePlayer.getLocation()+rollTotal];
Then the only step remaining is actually to perform the operation on the target square. This should probably best be a function of the player, so that would be:
player.ActionOnSquare(newPosition);
That requires a method in the player class:
public void OperationOnSquare(BoardSquare newSquare)
{
// Perform some operation, like reduce balance
}
Finally, you can ask the player whether he wants to continue. The mentioned steps 5 and 6 (you meant to write 6 and 7) are redundant, as that's already at the beginning of the next loop.
