I compiled this program with no error, but when I run it give me some kind of problem where I have: idNumber = inFile.nextInt(); //student ID number. Appreciate any help. Thanks

Hi James,
This what I got in the console:

----jGRASP exec: java gpa

That exception tells you that the scanner encountered something that was not valid for the way you wanted to use it, eg you called nextInt() but the next thing in the input stream could not be interpreted as an integer.
The line number in your error message doesn't match the version of the code you posted, and I don't know what you typed at the console, so there's no more I can say for now.

I'm modifying my program right now and just quick block them with comment syntax (//) so that I can run it to show you the results, that would explain why my line code are not match. Sorry for that!
About the stream input: it's just the string of 7 numbers in a separate line (I'll post here 1st Name, 2nd idNumber, 3rd courseName & letGrade)which look like this:

I don't know other way to read int idNumber and is it because of that I can't run my program? May you help!?

That's the right way to read an integer. But let's see what the next test gives via matching error messages and source code line numbers.
Are you sure its not failing on the earlier
numStudents = inFile.nextInt();

OK, James
This is the original program and its resulted after run. I also include first student in the inputgpa.txt

Make a printout of your input file, or just get it on screen next to the source file. Read through your source code and check it against the input file, line by line. You should see the problem pretty quickly.

It took me... I don't know how many hours trying different things changing from Float to modifying things around. It is 12:30 am now, I'm still sitting here and couldn't figure out why? It maybe easy for you but for beginner...just stuck.

OK, I figured out after awhile.
instead of nextLine(); I use only next(); But because I have full name with space in between, so I have 2 next(); ( I would think nextLine make more sense cause it took the whole line)

I should be off for writing arrays collecting grades for print out but it too late now. See you during the day.

I would think nextLine make more sense

Me too, Can anyone explain this?

So I start my Arrays...
The array suppose to collect all the students letGrade and print out. My problem is where should I collecting data, inside the switch? and how ? At first I only use gpA++ inside the switch(line 74 to 79) but it only give me the individual result at the bottom of each student. like this:

Couse Grade Gradepoints
CISC115.59 A 4.0
VAGD102.11 F 0.0
VAMM100.23 B 3.0
MKTG100.41 B 3.0
VAMM120.15 A 4.0
VAMM130.20 D 1.0
------------------------------------------
GPA: 2.5
____________________________________
The Grades sort out for all the students at BCCC this Spring semester are:
2As, 2Bs, 0Cs, 1Ds, 1Fs

switch(g)
				{
					case 'A': gp=4; gpA++; break;
					case 'B': gp=3; gpB++; break;
					case 'C': gp=2; gpC++; break;
					case 'D': gp=1; gpD++; break;
					case 'F': gp=0; gpF++; break;
					default: System.out.println("Invalid Grade");
				}

But then I need to create an array so I do this (below) but it doesn't work

//Arrays of total of A, B, C, D & F
			int []gpA;
			int []gpB;
			int []gpC;
			int []gpD;
			int []gpF;
						
			//start loop
			for(i=0; i<n; i++)
			{
				//read courseName
				courseName = inFile.next();
				letGrade = inFile.next();
				//change letGrade variable to character
				char g = letGrade.charAt(0);
							
				//compute gp from input letGrade
				switch(g)
				{
					case 'A': gp=4; gpA; break;
					case 'B': gp=3; gpB; break;
					case 'C': gp=2; gpC; break;
					case 'D': gp=1; gpD; break;
					case 'F': gp=0; gpF; break;
					default: System.out.println("Invalid Grade");
				}//End switch loop
int []gpA;

You've declared the array, but you haven't intialized it. At this point, the compiler knows that gpA is meant to point to an array of int, but it doesn't have a location for it, so it points to null.

More importantly, I don't think I understand what your design is doing. What does each array of ints represent? gpA is a collection of integers - what does each of those ints mean? What range of values do you expect to find in gpA[0], gpA[1], etc?

case 'A': gp=4; gpA;

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here.
