Answer:

Yes. If a checked Exception is not caught then this is needed.

There are several unchecked Exceptions that might be thrown, but they need not be declared.


Typical Data

Here are the lines in a typical input file named dailyRobins.txt that records the number of robins seen for several days in Spring.

3
6
12
17
14
4
32
23
19

Here are some runs of the program. First, a file containing the above data:

C:\JavaSource>java SumFileData
Input file name:
dailyRobins.txt
Sum = 130

Next, a mis-named file:

C:\JavaSource>java SumFileData
Input file name:
dailyCrows.txt
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: dailyCrows.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open0(Native Method)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Unknown Source)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.Scanner.(Unknown Source)
        at SumFileData.main(SumFileData.java:20)

Finally, a file with some non-intger data:

C:\JavaSource>java SumFileData
Input file name:
dailyRobins.txt
Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException
        at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.Scanner.next(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)
        at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Unknown Source)
        at SumFileData.main(SumFileData.java:24)

In the last run the data file had a line that could not be parsed as an int.


QUESTION 7:

Would it work if the input file contained the following?

3 6 12 17
14 4 32
23
19
