    Default Problem with string [...]

    Hello, I am new to Java and I've got a problem already.
    The program should copy person with the highest percent from the file 'plik1', and then put it to the file 'plik2'.
    The problem occurs while compiling.

    Thank you for understanding and your help,

    Welcome to the forum! Thanks for taking the time to learn how to post code correctly. If you haven't already, please read this topic to learn other useful info for new members.

    Java is case sensitive. 'string' is not the same as 'String'.

    By convention, class names in Java begin with capital letters.

    Posting at multiple sites is allowed. Just tell us so we don't waste time answering a question that has been answered.

    The AND operator && is for boolean operands. To get a boolean operand from an int value, compare it: x != 0

    Ok, I understand. Sorry for that.

    Unresolved compilation problem:
    That does not say what the problem is. Did you leave off some of the error message?

    If that is all your compiler says then your compiler is not worth much.
    Try using the javac compiler in a command prompt window. It gives good error messages.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
