I can't seem to get Java to read my text document -

import java.util.scanner; public class average {     public void average()     {         scanner in = (new scanner("j:\\ap comptuter science\\semester 2\\exeptions\\13.1\\numbers.txt"));         try{             string test = in.nextline();         } catch(nullpointerexception i) {             system.out.println("error: " + i.getmessage());         }          int total = 0;         int counter = 0;          while(in.hasnextint()){             total = total + in.nextint();             counter++;         }         total = total / counter;         system.out.println(total);     } } 

i have project ap comp class , did work according notes, file "numbers" isn't being read , answer 0 when should huge number.

firstly should correct path, , put in same directory class files. , instead of providing path scanner should give file. should this.

import java.io.file; import java.io.filenotfoundexception; import java.util.scanner;  public class average    {          public void printaverage(){             file file = new file(""j:\\ap comptuter science\\semester 2\\exeptions\\13.1\\numbers.txt"");             scanner scan;              try {                 scan = new scanner(file);                 int total = 0, counter = 0;                  while(scan.hasnextint()){                     system.out.println("loop");                     total = total + scan.nextint();                     counter++;                  }                 if(counter != 0)                     total = total/counter;                 system.out.println(total);              } catch (filenotfoundexception e) {                 e.printstacktrace();             }          }     }
