Im trying to read a file into the scanner class. I am also trying to assign values to the file using in.next...Im having a problem with it.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class prog1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    	Scanner in = new Scanner(new File("prog0.dat"));
    	int[] list = in.nextInt;

		java.util.Arrays.sort(list);
		System.out.print("Sorted list: " );
		for (int i=0; i<list.length; i++)
			System.out.print(list[i] + " ");
    	System.out.println("\nThe lowest grade is " + minIndex(list));
    	System.out.println("The highest grade is " + maxIndex(list));
    	System.out.println("The mean is " + mean(list));
    	System.out.println("The standard deviation is " + standardDeviation(list));
    	System.out.println("The mode is " + mode(list));
    	System.out.println("The range is " + range(list));
    	System.out.println("The median is " + median(list));
    }

    public static int minIndex(int[] list) {
    	int min = list[0];
    	int minIndex = 0;

    	for (int i = 1; i < list.length; i++)
      		if (min > list[i]) {
        	min = list[i];
        	minIndex = i;
         }

    return min;
    }
    public static int maxIndex(int[] list) {
    	int max = list[0];
    	int maxIndex = 0;

    	for (int i = 1; i < list.length; i++)
      		if (max < list[i]) {
        	max = list[i];
        	maxIndex = i;
      		}

    return max;
    }
   public static int mean(int[] list) {
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
        sum += list[i];
    }
    return sum / list.length;
}

  public static double standardDeviation (int[] list) {
   double[] arr = new double[list.length];
	double av = mean(list);
  	for (int i = 0; i <list.length; i++) {
    	arr[i] = (list[i] - av) * (list[i] - av);
 	}
 	double d = 0;
  	for (int i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
    	d = d + arr[i];
	 }
 	return Math.sqrt(d / (arr.length - 1));
}


    public static int mode(int[] list) {
		int maxValue = 0;
		int maxCount = 0;


		for (int i = 0; i < list.length; ++i) {
		int count = 0;
		for (int j = 0; j < list.length; ++j) {
		if (list[j] == list[i]) ++count;
		}
		if (count > maxCount) {
		maxCount = count;
		maxValue = list[i];
		}
		}

		return maxValue;
		}

     public static int range(int[] list) {
     	int max, min, range;
     	max = list[list.length - 1];
     	min = list[0];
     	range = max - min;
    	return range;
    }

    	private static int median(int[] list) {
			  int med;
			  if ((list.length % 2) == 0) {
			      med = (list[list.length/2] + list[list.length/2 - 1]) / 2;
			  } else {
			      med = list[list.length / 2];
			  }
			  return med;
	  }


  }

Remember, all methods have parentheses, and nextInt() is a method. Also, nextInt() returns a single int, not an array. Once you declare and initialize the array, you can assign the int you read in to list[someIndex].

Beyond that, what specifically are your problems or errors?

I'm not trying to hijack the thread but I noticed that the OP was trying to read from a dat file and it made me wonder what all types of files the Scanner can handle. Anyone got a link with a list of valid file types?

Thanks

File type doesn't matter for any of the Java file reading tools, including Scanner. At the root, all files have some sort of String data that can be parsed, which is the key.

This is the only error Im getting

cannot find symbol variable nextInt

As our good friend the macosxnerd pointed out in his first reply, nextInt is a method, and when you use it, you need to include the parenthesis at the end of it. nextInt()

What about this

G:\CSC 202\prog1.java:14: incompatible types
found : int
required: int[]
int[] list = in.nextInt();
^
1 error

Process completed.

I covered that as well. Did you read my post?
