Exercise
Friends database, using files
Objetive
Expand the "friends database", so that it loads data from file at the beginning of each session (if the file exists) and saves the data to file when the session ends. Therefore, the data entered in a session must be available for the next session.
Example Code
import java.util.*;
public class FriendsDatabase
{
private final static class people
{
public String name;
public String email;
public String address;

{
people varCopy = new people();
varCopy.name = this.name;
varCopy.email = this.email;
varCopy.address = this.address;
varCopy.year = this.year;
return varCopy;
}
}
