No, you are not correct. Thanks for playing. Good bye.
Let me guess, save and savefile should have been the same variable, it's an error that two names are used?
I seriously doubt that you're getting anyone here to spell out what's in a piece of code that we don't know where comes from, even if you throw 25 Duke stars at us. Why are you asking?
i just want to know wwat each of the lines actually do
public boolean write() //write function
> try ///try catch
> {
> PrintWriter save; //creates saved file
> save = new PrintWriter(filename);
> save.println(genXML()); //calls genXML function
> save.close();
> return true;
> }
> catch(Exception e){ return false; }

I really don't understand how you could've written that snippet of code
without understanding what each line means. (or supposed to mean
in your opinion). Consequently your question doesn't make any sense
if you really don't understand what you have written yourself.
As a corollary if you didn't write that yourself how could you ask
whether or not you're correct without writing down what your
understanding of this all is?
kind regards,
Jos
>public boolean write() //write function
A function is called a method in Java; otherwise correct.
> try ///try catch
See earlier reply.
> PrintWriter savefile; //creates saved
Incorrect. Declares a local variable.
> save.println(genXML()); //calls genXML function
Correct; additionally passes the result of the call to save.println().
Am I helping at all?
Jos has got a point: tell us what your own understanding is, it'll make the discussion a lot easier.
