Unit 2 discussion

Writing to a Text File

Reading from and writing to a text file are common tasks in Java programming. Developers often use text files in lieu of databases to store and retrieve the data that a program needs.

In this discussion, you will practice writing to a text file from within your Java program.

Create a Java program that writes your name and today’s date to a text file called “mytext.txt”.

Answer the question, should we use exception if the “mytext.txt” exists when we try to write to it? Why or why not?

Provide a screenshot of your result of your work (code + text file).

Explain, briefly, how you completed this exercise, the algorithm you used (via pseudo code or other description tools), the major issues you faced, and how you solved these issues. Reflect on your experience and what you learned.
