Computer programs that use files can read in information that is external to the program and/or write output. This allows your program to be able to do so much more.

Write a FileIO01 class with a method named writeMessage() to takes message as a String and a filename (as a String) (in that order). Have the method, write the message to the filename. Your code will either need to 1) catch all checked exceptions or 2) use the throws keyword.
public class FileIO01{ public void writeMessage( String message, String filename ){ } }
Write a FileIO02 class with a method named writeArrayToFile() that takes an array of Strings and a filename (as a String) (in that order). Write each of the elements in the array to filename, appending a newline character, '\n', onto the end of each line. Note, for the test case to compile, writeArrayToFile() will need to catch any checked exceptions.
Write a complete Java program in a FileIO03 class that requests a filename from the user and displays each word from that file on a separate line.
Example:Please enter a filename to echo: poem.txt Two roads diverged in a wood and I I took the one less traveled by And that has made all the differenceHints:
Write a FileIO04 class with a method named readFileToArrayList() that takes a filename (as a String) and returns an ArrayList of Strings. For each line in the file, add it as a separate element in the ArrayList. Do not include the newline at the end of each line. Use a BufferedReader object to read the file contents. If an exception is thrown, display an informative message and return an empty ArrayList.
Examples:FileIO04 driver1 = new FileIO04(); driver1.readFileToArrayList( "poem.txt" ) // returns (an ArrayList of Strings with 3 elements): {"Two roads diverged in a wood and I", "I took the one less traveled by", "And that has made all the difference"}
FileIO04 driver2 = new FileIO04(); driver2.readFileToArrayList( "bogusFilename.txt" ); // returns an empty ArrayList
Write a FileIO05 class with a method named calculateAverage() that takes a filename (as a String). Assume that the file only contains numerical values. Have the method calculate the average of all of the values. Return the average as a Double. If an exception is thrown, display an informative message and return 0.0.
Example:FileIO05 driver = new FileIO05(); String filename = "numbers0.txt"; Double val = driver.calculateAverage( filename ); // returns 58.3529411764706 filename = "numbers1.txt"; val = driver.calculateAverage( filename ); // returns 62.699999999999996 filename = "numbers2.txt"; val = driver.calculateAverage( filename ); // returns 56.828571428571436
