Reading from files into two-dimensional arrays
Hi I'm pretty brand-spankin new when it comes to Java and the likes. I'm trying to read a file containing a square matrix of unknown size into a two-dimensional array, but I'm having troubles getting started.
Is it better to use StringTokenizer or String.split?
How about FileReader vs. FileInputStream?
And how the heck do you make a string into a double? I've tried valueOf and parseDouble, but apparently I'm not writing it properly.
Here's what I've done so far, obviously the line with the string tokenizer giving the matrix its next element is not compiling. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
