I did it, but something is wrong.. I think I have a problem withreading comprehension, so I think I am not totally understandingwhat the question is asking. Could you please tell me what is wrongwith my code?
Thank you!!!

 javax.swing.JOptionPane;        

 java.io.*;                    



  problem3



   main(String[] args)  IOException



String filename;        

String categories;        







filename = JOptionPane.showInputDialog();





FileReader freader =  FileReader(filename);

BufferedReader inputFile =  BufferedReader(freader);





categories = inputFile.readLine();







 (categories != )





JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(, categories);





categories = inputFile.readLine();







inputFile.close();

Explanation / Answer

please rate - thanks the categories have to be changed to words and not single characterwith if else or switch importjavax.swing.JOptionPane;       // Needed for the JOptionPane class importjava.io.*;                   // Needed for file classes import java.util.*; public class untitled { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { String filename;        //Needed to read the file String output,categories;       // Needed to read the categories String name,cost; int number; char cat; double amt; // Get the filename. filename = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the filname."); // Open the file. //FileReader freader = new FileReader(filename); Scanner inputFile=new Scanner(new File(filename)); //BufferedReader inputFile = new BufferedReader(freader); // Read the categories from the file. // If a category was read, display it and // read the remaining categories. while (inputFile.hasNext()) {name = inputFile.next(); number=inputFile.nextInt(); cat=inputFile.next().charAt(0); amt=inputFile.nextDouble(); cost=inputFile.next(); categories="manufacturer: "+name+" number: "+number+" category:"+cat; categories+=" amount of glass: "+amt+" cost of the glass:"+cost; // Display the last category read. JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, categories); } // Close the file. inputFile.close(); } }
