    Hi guys. Need help...
    I tried running the code for trapezoidal rule. It's my project in Numerical Methods, here's the code:

    Code:
    static double trapezoidRule (int size, double[] x, double[] y)
       {  double sum = 0.0,
                 increment;
    
          for ( int k = 1; k < size; k++ )
          {//Trapezoid rule:  1/2 h * (f0 + f1)
             increment = 0.5 * (x[k]-x[k-1]) * (y[k]+y[k-1]);
             sum += increment;
          }
          return sum;
       }
    
       public static void main ( String[] args ) throws Exception
       {  String   fileName = args.length > 0 ? args[0] : "InpData.txt";
          Scanner  inp = new Scanner(new File(fileName));
          int      k, size;
          double[] x, y;
          double   integral;
    
          size = inp.nextInt();
          System.out.println ("Number of points:  " + size);
    
          x = new double[size];
          y = new double[size];
    
          for ( k = 0; k < size; k++ )
          {  x[k] = inp.nextDouble();
             y[k] = inp.nextDouble();
          }
          integral = trapezoidRule (size, x, y);
          System.out.printf ("Integral:  %4.4f\n", integral);
          System.out.printf ("Check:  log(%2.2f) = %8.8f\n",
                             x[size-1], Math.log(x[size-1]) );
       }
    }
    
    It cannot be compiled and I always get FileNotFoundException. I found on Javadocs that this will be thrown when a file with the path name does not exist. Please help. Thanks!
