5. Example Run



Answer:
Yes, an IOException is a checked exception, and so must be caught or thrown to the caller. (More on this later.)

C:\Programs>TYPE REAPER.TXT
Behold her, single in the field,
Yon solitary Highland Lass!
Reaping and singing by herself;
Stop here, or gently pass! 

                            		
                        

                    
                


                


                
To see that the program worked, use the DIR command in the command-prompt window to look at the directory, or use the Windows file browser, Explorer.
Since it is a text file, you can use the TYPE command or the cat command (in Unix) to see it on the screen, or you can double-click it in Explorer.
The listing shows that the file reaper.txt contains 120 bytes, including end of line characters.
In the Unix (or Linux) command prompt window use ls -l to see a directory listing. Use cat reaper.txt to see the contents.


            

            

                

            

            

        

        

    

    

        

    



    
Question 5:
Could you edit reaper.txt with a text editor?
