Thread: FileReader "not a statement"

I am new to java and having issues compiling my code. I continue to receive two errors that FileReader is not a statement and that a ";" is expected after FileReader. I have tried to import several tools but I am still having trouble. I am running java version 1.6.0_35-b10, could this be the problem?

Here are the errors:
----jGRASP exec: javac -g lab12.java

lab12.java:61: not a statement
FileReader ifile = new FileReader("data.txt");
^
lab12.java:61: ';' expected // the arrow points after FileReader
FileReader ifile = new FileReader("data.txt");
^
2 errors

----jGRASP wedge2: exit code for process is 1.
----jGRASP: operation complete.

This is my code:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.text.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.File;
 
public class lab12
 
{
 
public static void main(String[] args){
 
			int c;
			String line;
         Foreign calculator;
			Scanner Keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
 
 
					FileWriter ofile = new FileWriter("data.txt");
					BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(ofile);
					PrintWriter outfile = new PrintWriter(ofile);
 
 
                do
 
           		{
							Foreign.displayTitle();
 
                     Foreign.displayMenu();
 
                     c = Foreign.getChoice(); //<-----   Call getChoice() here and assign value to ‘c’
 
                     	if ( c != 0)
                        {
									calculator = new Foreign();
 
                           calculator.getAmount();
 
                           calculator.display();
 
                           outfile.println(calculator); //<---- calls toString() implicitly                       
                			}
					}
                while (c != 0);
 
					 outfile.close();
 
 
		System.out.print("Display summary? (y/n)");
  			s = keyboard.nextLine();
  			displaySummary = s.charAt(0);
  		if (displaySummary == 'Y' || displaySummary == 'y')
 
		FileReader ifile = new FileReader("data.txt");
		BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(ifile);
 
		while ((line = infile.readLine()) != null)
			{
			System.out.println(line);
			}
		infile.close();
 
		Foreign.displayCount();
 
 }
}

I updated my post, sorry about that.

I pasted the error, but I want to mention that the second error points to right after FileReader while the first error is pointing at the beginning of FileReader. Unfortunately when I paste these messages here the formatting is changed to show both arrows pointing at the beginning of FileReader.

----jGRASP exec: javac -g lab12.java

You should ALWAYS use {}s to enclose the code used with if and while statements.

I originally had {} around the last if statement but it caused more errors. When I add them back as seen below I get 9 errors.

                           calculator.display();
 
                           outfile.println(calculator);

                while (c != 0);
 
					 outfile.close();
 
 
		System.out.print("Display summary? (y/n)");
  			s = keyboard.nextLine();
  			displaySummary = s.charAt(0);
  		if (displaySummary == 'Y' || displaySummary == 'y')
  			{
			FileReader ifile = new FileReader("data.txt");
			BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(ifile);
			}
 
		while ((line = infile.readLine()) != null)
			{
			System.out.println(line);
			}
		infile.close();
 
		Foreign.displayCount();
 
 }
}

These are the errors
