I'm new to Java and have taken a course at CU Denver in Java
Programming. The course outline states (ironically) that you must
have W95 or a Mac to take the course. I have entered it using
Linux. All has been fine up till I turned in my first code. The
following code compiles and runs on my machine without error but
the instructor stated that when he compiled and ran my code, he
got an error.
"I get an IO exception on any input to sreport.java. Let
me know if you are seeing a different behavior."
Why would this code work fine on Linux and not on his Mac?
Could someone be so kind as to compile and confirm my results?
(I'm unsure of what version he is running.)
My version is JDK_1.1.5 on RH5.0 using kernal 2.0.33
