reading file into an array but only the last file is stored?

Question

I am reading from a file and storing them into an array....

         f = new File("some file");
        try {
            s = new Scanner(f);
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        String theWord [] = new String[100];.
        while(s.hasNext()){

            int i=0;

            theWord[i]=s.next();
            //print
            System.out.println(theWord[i]);

            i++;     
        }
        System.out.println(theWord[0]);
        System.out.println(theWord[1]);

Say the file has the words: Hello Programmer. The output is:

    Hello
    programmer
    programmer
    null

THe last two lines are puzzling me. It shows that the 0 index of theWord is programmer and 1 index is null when just before the zero index should be hello and the 1 index should be programmer.

Any help?

Answer 1

You need to move:

 int i=0;

Outside the loop. You always update theWord[0] value.

Answer 2

You are re-initializing i to 0 in your while loop, so every time, the 0 ^th element of your array is overwritten.

while(s.hasNext()){
    int i=0;  // Move this outside the while loop
