Re: Is there an easy way to find the right class?

I think you are on to something here. If I am looking to do something with
an integer, I would look at the API or another reference book...fine... no
issues here. But what if I am trying to find out how to read a sequential
file? I know the API has classes for it (I'm looking at them now) but what
if I don't know where in the API to look? Is it safe to assume that
something to do with files, would be in the java.io package? Is it possible
that something better exists in another package? Of course, this is
assuming that I have the API either online or downloaded on my local pc. or
a really good book to consult. By identifying the "type" of object I want
to operate on, I should be able to narrow the search down and then consult a
reference....

thanks...that helped me a whole lot
