Problem 1: EnhancedLineCounter.java
Objective:
Count total lines, empty lines, and words in a text file. Handle errors gracefully and work
efficiently.
Problems Solved:
Counts Lines: lineCount++ inside the loop.
Counts Empty Lines: line.trim().isEmpty() identifies empty/whitespace-only lines.
Counts Words: line.trim().split("\\s+") splits by all whitespace characters.
Error Handling:
NullPointerException handled explicitly if filename is null.
IOException for file read problems.
Prints user-friendly error messages instead of crashing.
Efficiency: Uses BufferedReader to read line by line (no full-file memory loading).
Changes Made:
Added if (args.length != 1) check for proper usage.
Wrapped file reading in try-with-resources for safe resource management.
Enhanced word counting with split("\\s+") to account for multiple spaces.
Problem 2: EfficientBufferedWriter.java
Objective:
Write a large number of lines to a file efficiently, with progress tracking and user customization.
Problems Solved:
Efficient Buffering:
BufferedWriter used with a buffer size of 8192 bytes.
Robust Error Handling:
Catches IOException, IllegalArgumentException, and general Exception.
Gives clear and non-crashing error messages.
Progress Indication:
Prints progress at 10% intervals using:
java
Copy code
if (i % (numLines / 10) == 0)
Custom Line Content:
Reads custom line format from second command-line argument.
Defaults to Line %d if not provided.
File Existence Check:
Uses Files.exists() to detect existing file.
Asks user for overwrite confirmation via Scanner.
Changes Made:
Added default line formatting with %d.
Added user prompt for overwriting file.
Added exception for invalid line count input.
Problem 3: StudentCSVGenerator.java
Objective:
Generate a CSV file containing student data.
Problems Solved:
Write CSV File:
Writes header row (StudentID,Name,Grade).
Writes each student's details.
Buffered Writing:
Uses BufferedWriter for performance.
Basic OOP Usage:
Uses an inner Student class with getters and constructor.
Changes Made:
Structured the Student class as static and self-contained.
Wrapped file writing in a try-with-resources block.
Ensured line formatting was correct (comma-separated values).
Summary of Key Improvements Across All Programs:
