Help! Error is: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:

Question

Syntax error, insert "; ; ) Statement" to complete ForStatement

Code section below but if you would like I can email to any one who would love to help me! :)

private static void createInputFile() throws IOException

{

inputList = new ArrayList<Integer>();

int value;

input = new FileInputStream("EvenNums.txt");

while ((value = input.read()) != -0)

inputList.add(value);

{

new PrintStream(output).println();

input.close(); // Close output stream

}

catch (IOException e); // Catches any error conditions

{

System.err.println ("Unable to write file");

System.exit(-1);}

}

Answer 1

I&#039;m not really sure exactly what the intent of your code is, but I have modified it so it compiles without errors. A catch block must be preceded by a try statement. A few comments here and there also help improve the readability and clarity of your code.

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.io.PrintStream;

import java.util.ArrayList;

(...)

/**

* Reads the contents of a file into an ArrayList

*/

private static void createInputFile() {

ArrayList&lt;Integer&gt; inputList = new ArrayList&lt;Integer&gt;();



FileInputStream input = null;

try {

  input = new FileInputStream(&quot;EvenNums.txt&quot;);

  int value;

  while ((value = input.read()) != -1) {

   inputList.add(value);

  }

  input.close();

} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

  System.err.println(&quot;Error opening file: &quot; + e.getMessage());

  try {

   input.close();

  } catch (Exception eIgnore) {}

  return;

} catch (IOException e) {

  System.err.println(&quot;File error: &quot; + e.getMessage());

  try {

   input.close();

  } catch (Exception eIgnore) {}

  return;

}

}

(...)

Answer 2

The biggest thing that bugs my is that catch.....

Get rid of the simcolon

catch (IOException e); // Catches any error conditions

to

catch (IOException e) // Catches any error conditions

The curlybraces already encapsulate the catch....

Are you importing the proper libraries....

import java.io.*;

import java.util.ArrayList;

Do you have enough curly braces at the end...
