Class rebelsky.io.SimpleOutput

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----rebelsky.io.SimpleOutput

public class SimpleOutput
extends Object

A simple output system for beginning programmers. Permits writing of basic data types without delving into the workings of the various Java libraries. Using this library makes it easier to change programs to do output to a file (hopefully).

While it would be preferable to have this class extend PrintWriter, this makes it difficult to make it work with files (at least in my experience).

Version:: 1.1 of February 1998
Author:: Samuel A. Rebelsky

Constructors

o SimpleOutput

 public SimpleOutput()

Build an object that can write to standard output.
pre: Standard output has not been modified.
post: The returned object writes to standard output.

o SimpleOutput

 public SimpleOutput(String filename)

Build an object that can write to a file. Make sure to call close() when you're done writing to that file. If the file can't be created, exits the program.
pre: The file can be created.
post: The object writes to that file.
