Can someone please help me with computer programming?

Question

Say that a text file looks like this:

x= 10
y= -45
y= 98
x= 13
x= 37
y= 36
x= -2

. . .
Each line starts with "x=" or "y=" but which of these it starts with follows no pattern. Each of these is followed by a space then a single integer. Nothing else follows the integer on a line.

Write a program that reads in this data file and computes the sum of the x values and the sum of the y values. Hint: use hasNext() and next() to read the "x=" and "y=" tokens and then use nextInt() to read the integer. You will also need the equals() method of String.

First thing is to create a loop that will run for every line in the file.

Inside that loop, you will want to read line N (where N is the current iteration of the loop) from the file, and determine if it's X or Y.  Now you should take the integer from that same line, and add it to the correct variable.

Finally, after the loop finishes, you should display the values of X and Y.

I can't give you any specific commands, as I don't know what language you're using, and I can't give you a full program because this looks like your homework.
