I need to parse multiple files and get access to the object's methods outside of where they were initialized. This is my code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
File Attrationfile = new File("attractions.txt");
Scanner attractionscanner = null;
attractionscanner = new Scanner(Attrationfile);
while (attractionscanner.hasNext()) {
String nextline = attractionscanner.nextLine();
String[] Attractioncomponents = nextline.split("@");
String ridename =Attractioncomponents[0];
int price = Integer.parseInt(Attractioncomponents[1]);
String type = Attractioncomponents[2];
int unknown = Integer.parseInt(Attractioncomponents[3]) ;
double speed = Attractioncomponents.length <= 4 ? 0 :
Double.parseDouble(Attractioncomponents[4]);
RollerCoaster rollerCoaster = new RollerCoaster(ridename, price , unknown, speed);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
File Customerfile = new File("customers.txt");
Scanner Customerscanner = new Scanner(Customerfile);
while (Customerscanner.hasNext()) {
String nextline = Customerscanner.nextLine();
String[] Customercomponents = nextline.split("#");
int accountnumber =Integer.parseInt(Customercomponents[0]);
String name = Customercomponents[1];
int age = Integer.parseInt(Customercomponents[2]) ;
int balance = Integer.parseInt(Customercomponents[3]) ;
String discount = Customercomponents.length <= 4
? String.valueOf(0) : Customercomponents[4];
Customer customer= new Customer(accountnumber,name, age, balance, discount);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
This works but I can't get access to the objects outside of their loops. I am not sure how the Сustomer class would get information about the roller coaster, such as the name and price. For example, if the customer and rollercoaster objects were in the same area, I would be able to update the customer balance by taking away rollercoaster.getprice from the customer.getbalance, and setting customer.setbalance to the value of the calculation. As you have probably already gathered, I am a beginner, so I am probably going about this in the wrong way - thanks.
