File Input and Output

Question

this is a very basic question, but can't seem to get the right answer on myProgrammingLab.

Declare a local variable output that is suitable for referring to an object that provides methods for writing to a text file.

Screenshots not acceptable. The *text* of the code concerned and the evidence about the problem must appear *in the question itself*. — user207421, May 03 '16 at 00:08
Sorry, but your question doesn't contain any question. So what's the problem or what do you need? — David Ferenczy Rogožan, May 03 '16 at 00:38

You can declare a PrintWriter, which provides methods for writing to text files:

PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter("textfile.txt");

To use it:

output.println("hello");
output.close();

You'll need a try/catch block for an IOException.
