    Default binary search tree to store club members and display membership ID and names

    I have been tasked to create a ClubMember class that represents a member of a fitness club and a tree class to use in the ClubMember class along with a menu that prompts the user to 1) Enter a new member. 2) Display the membership list. 3) Exit the program. I must use a binary search tree to store a set of club members based on their membership ID number and display the membership ID along with the name of the club member. This is what I have so far:
     
     
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    import java.util.List;
     
    public class ClubMember {  //creates clubMember class/
     
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    DataOutputStream ostream;
     
    final int DONE = 999;
    int id;
    String lastName;
    String firstName;
     
    try
    {
    ostream = new DataOutputStream
    (new FileOutputStream("MemID.dat"));
    System.out.print("Enter ID number or " + DONE + " to quit >> ");
    //id = input.nextInt();
    while(id != DONE)
    {
    //input.nextLine();
    System.out.print("Enter last name              >> ");
    //lastName = input.nextLine();
    System.out.print("Enter first name             >> ");
    firstName = input.nextLine();
    ostream.writeInt(id);
    ostream.writeUTF(lastName);
    ostream.writeUTF(firstName);
    System.out.print("Enter ID number or " + DONE + " to quit >> ");
    id = input.nextInt();
    }
    ostream.close();
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
    System.err.println("Error opening file");
    }
    catch(InputMismatchException e)
    {
    System.err.println("Invalid data entry");
    }
    }
    }

    I'm not sure where to place the menu or the binary search tree, could anyone give me a hand? Thanks

    The BST should be in its own class.

    The menu could be in a method that is used to get user input.

    BTW The code is not properly formatted. Nested statements should be indented 3-4 spaces.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Thanks, I usualy format after I get the code to compile and run (I know it's a bad habit) it helps me see things line by line.

    That's strange. Most of us need the indentation to see the logic of a program. Without that it is very hard to understand the program's structure. Personally I won't try to work with unformatted code. It's just too hard to understand.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
