Thread: Error in Main

Hello and thank you for your help in advance. I keep receiving the error as it is shown below and I can not figure out what is wrong with it as I have a comment marked out at line 16. My code is three classes that is suppose to return 50 state objects back to me when I run it. I am also to include a bubble sort(returns states in ascending order), sequential search(returns found/not found from search key state name) and binary search(returns found, not found, probes). Once again your help is appreciated.

The error message is quite clear, it says it can not find a class called StateController.

ok I figured out that problem but now its a new set of errors

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: State.Fall2014.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.jav a:131)
at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(FileInputStream.jav a:87)
at main.StateController.loadData(StateController.java :38)
at main.Main.main(Main.java:26)

The system cannot find the file specified. Is there anything unclear?

the IDE highlights:

myStateController.binarySearch();

But the error message says something different. The IDE might highlight that because there might be a compile-time problem. However, your application crashed because of a runtime-problem, namely an IOException.
You attempted to load a file which the system was not able to find.
