BufferedReader and FileReader not working in

Question

I'm just trying to read text from an existing file.txt But this program shows 2 errors
for the FileReader(file)) it says : Expected 0 arguments but found 1
and for reader.readLine() it says : Cannot resolve method 'readLine' in 'BufferedReader'

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public class BufferedReader {

public static void main(String[] args) {


    File file = new File("fileExample.txt");
    BufferedReader reader = null;
    try {
       reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    String line;
    while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line);
    }
  }
}

Answer 1

Rename your class to something other than BufferedReader, and import the right class from the JDK:

import java.io.BufferedReader;

Otherwise the compiler will look for a constructor of your own class.

Note about exception handling: given the code you have, if an IOException occurs when creating the BufferedReader, then the subsequent code will throw a NullPointerException. It may be better to just wrap the entire code in a try-with-resources block, or have the main method throws IOException.
