I am told to create a fillArray method that will read integers from the file "data.txt"...

thanks for the question,

You need to create an array of size 100. and then keep adding the numbers you read from the file in the array at the location given by the variable index. What you have so far, is to read all the numbers in the file but the code to store the numbers in the array is missing.

Since you have not shared the complete problem statement, I am assuming there is an int[] array by the name numbers and we want to populate the data from the file into this int[] array.

I have updated your class to do that. Rest everything is all good and sweet : )

If you have any problem, please do comment, no need to post another question for this. Will help you

thanks .
