"Cannot be applied to given types" Error during PrintStream

Question

I'm not entirely sure what's going on with my code right now. I'm attempting to PrintStream it but I'm getting all sorts of errors regardless of what I do.

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Personality {
    public static void main (String[] args)  throws FileNotFoundException   {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        PrintStream output = new PrintStream(new File("results.txt"));
      Scanner scanner = asksForFile(input);

      intro(output);


      while(scanner.hasNextLine()){
            int[] aCounts = new int[4];
            int[] bCounts = new int[4];
            String name = scanner.nextLine();
            String data = scanner.nextLine();
            output.println();
            output.print(name + ": ");
            int[] percentB = numberOfAnswers(name, data, aCounts, bCounts);
            output.print(Arrays.toString(percentB));
         output.print(" = ");
            output.println(determineType(percentB));    
        }       
    }

   //Introduces the program
    public static void intro(PrintStream output)    {
        output.println("This program processes a file of answers to the");
        output.println("Keirsey Temperament Sorter.  It converts the");
      output.println("various A and B answers for each person into");
      output.println("a sequence of B-percentages and then into a");
        output.println("four-letter personality type.");
        output.println();       
    }

    //Asks for input file
    public static Scanner asksForFile(Scanner scanner, PrintStream output) throws FileNotFoundException {
        output.print("input file name? ");
        String filename = input.nextLine();
        return new Scanner(new File(filename));

    }

   //This while loop puts counts inside arrays
    public static int[] numberOfAnswers(String name, String data, int[] aCounts, int[] bCounts, PrintStream output)  throws FileNotFoundException   {
        data = data.toLowerCase();
        for (int i = 0; i < data.length(); i++) {
            int x = ((i % 7) + 1) / 2;
            if (data.charAt(i) == 'a'){
                aCounts[x]++;
            } else if(data.charAt(i) == 'b'){
                bCounts[x]++;
            }
        }
        return percentB(aCounts, bCounts);
    }

    public static void printOutcome(int[] aCounts, int[] bCounts){
        String[] ratios = new String[4];
        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
            String temp = aCounts[i] + "A-" + bCounts[i] + "B";
            ratios[i] = temp;
        }
        output.println(Arrays.toString(ratios));
    }

    public static int[] percentB(int[] aCounts, int[] bCounts){
        int[] percentB = new int[4];
        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
            double percent = (double) bCounts[i] / (aCounts[i] + bCounts[i]);
            percentB[i] = (int) Math.round(percent * 100);
        }
        return percentB;    
    }

    public static String determineType(int[] percentB){
        String sub50 = "ESTJ";
        String sup50 = "INFP";
        String type = "";
        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
            if(percentB[i] > 50){
                type += sup50.charAt(i);
            } else if(percentB[i] < 50){
                type += sub50.charAt(i);
            } else {
                type += "X";
            }
        }
        return type;
    }
}

The error I keep getting is this:

Personality.java:16: error: method asksForFile in class Personality cannot be applied to given types;
      Scanner scanner = asksForFile(input);
                        ^
  required: Scanner,PrintStream
  found: Scanner
  reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length

Initially, the original problem I was getting was that I couldn't have two variables with the same name within my main. So I changed that and also included parameters for it throughout the rest of my code. I did that and also called it within my main. But now, I'm still getting this error and I'm not entirely sure what it's attempting to tell me.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Error:

Personality.java:16: error: method asksForFile in class Personality cannot be applied to given types;
      Scanner scanner = asksForFile(input);
                        ^
  required: Scanner,PrintStream
  found: Scanner
  reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length

look carefully:

//Asks for input file
public static Scanner asksForFile(Scanner scanner, PrintStream output) throws FileNotFoundException {
    output.print("input file name? ");
    String filename = input.nextLine();
    return new Scanner(new File(filename));

}

You dont have an overload of asksForFile() that takes 1 arguments
