Trying to read a file from the user that contains numbers which i use to calculate avgs, range, number of #'s and so on. I can't get it to work tho. Any critiques and help would be much appreciated.
Thanks much

double grade;       //variable for entered grades
double sum = 0;     //the sum of the scores
double number = 0;      //the number of scores calculated
double average;     //the original avg of the scores 
double rounded;     //the avg rounded to two decimals
double highest;     //highest score
double lowest;      //lowest score
int aGds = 0;   //number of A grades
int bGds = 0;   //number of B grades
int cGds = 0;   //number of C grades
int dGds = 0;   //number of D grades
int fGds = 0;   //number of F grades
int best = 0;   //used for converting highest score to int
int worst = 0;  //used for converting lowest score to int
String gradeFile;   //string for file

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Welcome to the Grade Calculator Program!");
System.out.println();
System.out.print("Please enter the name of the data file to process: ");


gradeFile = scan.nextLine();
Scanner input = new Scanner(new File(gradeFile));


highest = - Double.MAX_VALUE;
lowest = Double.MAX_VALUE;






while ((grade = input.hasNextDouble()) >= 0);
    {
        grade = scan.nextDouble();

        sum = sum + grade;
        number++;


    if(grade >= 90)
        aGds+=1;
    else if(grade >= 80)
        bGds+=1;
    else if(grade >= 70)
        cGds+=1;
    else if(grade >= 60)
        dGds+=1;
    else if (grade <= 59)
        fGds+=1;



    if(grade > highest)
        best = (int)(highest = grade);

    if(grade < lowest)
        worst = (int) (lowest = grade);


        grade = scan.nextDouble();
    }
}
    input.close();


    average = sum / number;
    rounded = Math.round(average * 100.0) / 100.0;


    System.out.println();
    System.out.println("Grade Calculations:");  

    System.out.println("Total number of grades = " +number);

    System.out.println("High score = " +best);
    System.out.println("Low score = " +worst);

    System.out.println("Average score = " +rounded);

    System.out.println("Number of A's = " +aGds);
    System.out.println("Number of B's = " +bGds);
    System.out.println("Number of C's = " +cGds);
    System.out.println("Number of D's = " +dGds);
    System.out.println("Number of F's = " +fGds);

You should consider the fact that the pathname of the file matters, not only the file name.
