Error: cannot find symbol for BufferReader - debugging

Question

I have the following code:
import.java.io.*;
public class BasheminParkingLot
{
public static void main(String[]args)throws Exception
{
Stack parkinglot = new Stack();
Stack alley= new Stack();
File f = new File("bashemin.in");
FileInputStream finstream = new FileInputStream(f);
InputStreamReader finreader = new InputStreamReader(finstream);
BufferReader finput = new BufferReader(finreader);
String line = finput.readLine();
String plate = "";
System.out.println();
System.out.println("The Bashemin Status");
System.out.println();
while(line!=null)
{
if(line.charAt(0)=='a')
{
plate = line.substring(1);
System.out.println ("car" + plate + " arrived and parked");
parkinglot.Push(plate);
}
}
}
}
and am getting the error:
BasheminParkingLot.java:13: error: cannot find symbol
BufferReader finput = new BufferReader(finreader);
^
I was wondering if anyone could help me debug this?? Thanks!

Answer 1

This shouldn't be BufferReader. It should be BufferedReader.
The following code will work:
import java.io.*;
class Stack {
int x;
void Push(String value) {
// DO SOMETHING
}
}
public class BasheminParkingLot
{
public static void main(String[]args)throws IOException
{
Stack parkinglot = new Stack();
Stack alley= new Stack();
File f = new File("bashemin.in");
FileInputStream finstream = new FileInputStream(f);
InputStreamReader finreader = new InputStreamReader(finstream);
BufferedReader finput = new BufferedReader(finreader);
String line = finput.readLine();
String plate = "";
System.out.println();
System.out.println("The Bashemin Status");
System.out.println();
while(line!=null)
{
if(line.charAt(0)=='a')
{
plate = line.substring(1);
System.out.println ("car" + plate + " arrived and parked");
parkinglot.Push(plate);
}
}
}
}
