The chapter is over Exception Handling and Text I/O

The exercise:

Counting the Words

In this exercise, you need to create a program that

  1. Prompts the user to open a text file,
  2. Read the file
  3. Records every different word in the file, and how many times that word appears.
  4. Create a new .txt file and write the collected data to it.

First, begin by making the code that opens and reads a text file (this section must contain a try-catch for both user input and accessing the file). DO NOT hard code the file location into your code, because it will not be in the same directory when I go to grade it, and thus it will not make it past step 1.

Next, build your scanner that reads a string at a time. Then make 2 arrays; one int, and one String (size 100 is plenty for testing). If the String youve just read is not in the String array add the string. If it is, increase the instances of that string in the int array.

Finally, use the print writer to create a new text file and transfer the information in your arrays to this new file in two columns.

Now create or download a sample text file and test your program.
