Help! Printwriter/Fwriter

[mason10510]

My ultimate goal is to ping user for insurance company name, the quotes they received for each area, and then give them a total. I need to open a file, write to the file and then close the file, at the end I need to display all inputs. I can't seem to get past the creating of the file!

int insuranceco; //Insurance company name



int bodilyinjury=0; //quote for annual coverage for bodily injury

int propertydamage=0; //quote for annual coverage for property damage

int uninsureddrivers=0; //quote for annual coverage for uninsured drivers

int Total = bodilyinjury+propertydamage+uninsureddrivers;

//Create scanner object for keyboard input.

Please post your code in code tags and explain exactly what your problem is.

If you're having problems with file I/O, post up any error messages you get. I notice you aren't using exceptions, so you're not handling I/O errors. I would recommend you put in appropriate try...catch blocks to handle potential I/O exceptions and display the error messages.

It's hard enough to find an error in your code when you're looking for it; it's even harder when you've assumed your code is error-free...
