Question

In Java - I'm having a hard time with this part of my project.  Under menu option A and B I need to do the following:  

  • The program will READ in data from a text file named StudyHours.txt. The user corrects any bad data. The program updates the information in StudyHours.txt file. For example if the file contains a letter grade of K which is not a possible letter grade.

I'm not sure if I can use another method and call it in the hours method or if I need to add the code directly to the Hour method I've already done.  

An example of the StudyHours.txt file is:

Aaron RODgers

12

A

Tom brady

9

K

philip Rivers

apple

c

Joe Theismann

15

B

So basically I need a user to be able to read the file, and correct the information they want, such as looking for apple and changing it to 9.
