I am practicing java, and looking at exercises online:
However, I am stuck at the point in which I need to
Read the file again, and initialise the elements of the array
Task
Write class Members representing a list of members as an array
Constructor should take String argument (file name)
Use scanner to read lines and create array big enough to hold the file
Read the file again and initialise elements of the array
Current Code
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Members {
MemberElement[] members;
public Members(String fileName) throws IOException {
File myFile = new File(fileName);
Scanner scan = new Scanner(myFile);
int numOfLines = 0;
while(scan.hasNextLine()) {
scan.nextLine();
numOfLines++;
}
scan.close();
scan = new Scanner(myFile);
members = new MemberElement[numOfLines];
}
MemberElement Class:
class MemberElement {
private String name;
private int number;
private int birthDate;
public MemberElement(String name, int number, int birthDate) {
this.name = name;
this.number = number;
this.birthDate = birthDate;
}
public String getName() {
return this.name;
}
public int getNumber() {
return this.number;
}
public int getBirth() {
return this.birthDate;
}
public String toString() {
return getName() + " " + getNumber() + " " + getBirth();
}
}

It's basically the same like counting lines:
int numOfLines = 0;
while(scan.hasNextLine()) {
scan.nextLine();
numOfLines++;
}
However, we now need to actually access that next line. A quick look into the Scanner docs tells me, that nextLine returns exactly what we want.
int numOfLine = 0;
while(scan.hasNextLine()) {
String line = scan.nextLine();
members[numOfLine] = new MemberElement(line, numOfLine, /* birthDate */);
numOfLine++;
}
