Help with trapezoidal rule java

Hi folks, need help:

I tried running the code for trapezoidal rule. It's my project in
Numerical Methods, here's the code:

Code:

---

static double trapezoidRule (int size, double[] x, double[] y)
  {  double sum = 0.0,
            increment;

      for ( int k = 1; k < size; k++ )
      {//Trapezoid rule:  1/2 h * (f0 + f1)
        increment = 0.5 * (x[k]-x[k-1]) * (y[k]+y[k-1]);
        sum += increment;
      }
      return sum;
  }

  public static void main ( String[] args ) throws Exception
  {  String  fileName = args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "InpData.txt";
      Scanner  inp = new Scanner(new File(fileName));
      int      k, size;
      double[] x, y;
      double  integral;

      size = inp.nextInt();
      System.out.println ("Number of points:  " + size);

      x = new double[size];
      y = new double[size];

      for ( k = 0; k < size; k++ )
      {  x[k] = inp.nextDouble();
        y[k] = inp.nextDouble();
      }
      integral = trapezoidRule (size, x, y);
      System.out.printf ("Integral:  %4.4f\n", integral);
      System.out.printf ("Check:  log(%2.2f) = %8.8f\n",
                        x[size-1], Math.log(x[size-1]) );
  }
}

It cannot be compiled and I always get FileNotFoundException. I found on Javadocs that this will be thrown when a file with the pathname does not exist. Please help. Thanks!

Hundreds of views. Thanks for viewing but I really need some answers with this FileNotFoundException issue guys.:confused:

That's because the error cause is that the input file is not found (Java exceptions are pretty descriptive, btw). Check your input file path.

Thanks for the reply xeel! I already checked it several times (maybe hundreds :sick:) and it's on the right (very very right) file path dude but I still have that issue and still could not get results....

BTW here's the file path....

C:\Users\GeorgeM\Documents\NetBeansProjects\trapezoidRule\nbproject\textfilespath

Running crazy about this FileNotFoundException for days now :sick:

Others have advised me that I should just use absolute paths and be done with FileNotFoundException issue.... Any thougths about this guys?
