I want to read them an store them in an ArrayList. My ArrayList type is object. But, still I get exceptions when I run it.

    public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException{


    try{
            FileReader a=new FileReader("src/SET_A.txt");
            Scanner b=new Scanner(a);
            ArrayList<Object> c=new ArrayList<Object>();
            while(b.hasNextLine())
                {
                    Object d=b.nextInt();
                    c.add(d);
                 }
            System.out.println("The content of arraylist is: " + a);
    }
    catch(Exception exception)
    {
        exception.printStackTrace();
    }
    }

Are you displaying the File or the Contents of ArrayList? You should be displaying C and not A. If not, please let us know what is the Exception.
