All Java code is part of a class definition - you have forgotten/lost the class statement that should be around line 5. Similarly the code starting a t line 10 should be inside a method definion.
Now look again at the error message that you got but decided not to show us - did it say something about "class" expected? Next time post a copy of the complete error message(s).

Like I said before: the code starting at line 10 should be inside a method definition.

Let's start with the first two...

Lines 2/4 - a spelling error
Lines 6-18 - you can't just make up your own method calls for BufferedWriter like that. Look at the API doc for BufferedWriter to see what parameters you can actually pass to its write methods

I got bored after that, but a quick look further down has more of the same errors. You MUST check the API doc to find out what parameters are valid for each method call.

he wasn't talking about programming, rather looking at the api to see what methods you can use:
just check the api for BufferedWriter as James suggested

I'm not good at programming sufficiently

I guess that's why you are on a programming course! It's not easy, so it's up to you if you want to do all the necessary work.
Anyway, if you want to keep trying then start with the very first error message, read carefully what it says, and fix it. Then re-compile, fix the first error, and keep repeating that until there are no errors left. Your first error is a spelling mistake, so that should be easy to fix ;)

Find_digit.java:15: error: no suitable method found for write(String[])

On line 15 of Find-digit you try to call a write method passing a String array as parameter, but there is no write method that takes a string array.

Did you read the previous posts?

You MUST check the API doc to find out what parameters are valid for each method call.

just check the api for BufferedWriter as James suggested

I became crazy I done everything I know to fix it
But I could not fixed

please what can I do ??

stultuske 1,116 Posting Maven Featured Poster · Answer 11 · 2013-11-08T14:20:30+00:00

no suitable method found for write(String[])
               bw.write(s);

that means that the method you try to call doesn't exist. either not with that name, or not with that signature. check the api to see which one(s) DO exist and you can use.

as for your other errors: it seams you are trying to use variables that either don't exist, or are out of the scope.
