Java.io.FileNotFoundException: the system cannot find the file specified

Question

Can anyone help me with the below code, it throws an error as "file not found".

import java.io.File;

import java.util.*;

public class Hangman1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("word.txt"));          

        String in = "";         

        in = input.nextLine();          

    }

}

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Basically, in able to rectify this error you need to put that file "word.txt" as the child of the project and should be peer to src, something like this:

Project_Root

    src

    word.txt

I hope this will help.
