Implementation
Implement a log analyzer: open file, read lines, count errors, and summarize results.
Implementation is a free Java Academy lesson on CoddyKit — lesson 2 of 3. You can read the complete lesson below for free — then practise it hands-on in the browser with a built-in code editor and a 24/7 AI tutor. It is part of the Java Academy learning path, one of 3 lessons in the course, and your progress syncs across the web and the CoddyKit app.
Intro
Implementation means coding the design: open log files, process lines, and produce summaries.
File reading setup
We use Files.newBufferedReader to read logs line by line. Each line can then be parsed for keywords.
Code: read lines
This code prints each log line. Next, we add parsing to count errors.
import java.nio.file.*;import java.io.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Path log = Paths.get("app.log");
try (BufferedReader br = Files.newBufferedReader(log)) {
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
Parsing logic
We check if a line contains keywords like ERROR. Counting them gives us a quick error summary.
Code: count errors
This code counts how many lines contain ERROR.
import java.nio.file.*;import java.io.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Path log = Paths.get("app.log");
int errors = 0;
try (BufferedReader br = Files.newBufferedReader(log)) {
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
if (line.contains("ERROR")) {
errors++;
}
}
System.out.println("Total errors: " + errors);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
Code: summarize
This summarizes both errors and warnings. Summaries give useful quick insights.
import java.nio.file.*;import java.io.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Path log = Paths.get("app.log");
int errors = 0, warnings = 0;
try (BufferedReader br = Files.newBufferedReader(log)) {
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
if (line.contains("ERROR")) errors++;
if (line.contains("WARN")) warnings++;
}
System.out.println("Errors: " + errors);
System.out.println("Warnings: " + warnings);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}

Recap
Recap: Implementation turns design into code. We read log lines, parse them, and summarize errors/warnings.
Frequently asked questions
Is the “Implementation” lesson free?
Yes — the full text of “Implementation” is free to read here on the web, and the Java Academy course includes 3 lessons in total. To practise it interactively (a built-in code editor and a 24/7 AI tutor) and unlock the rest of the Java Academy course, upgrade to CoddyKit PRO.
What will I learn in “Implementation”?
Implement a log analyzer: open file, read lines, count errors, and summarize results. You practise Java Academy with hands-on code you run directly in the browser, and a 24/7 AI tutor answers your questions as you work through the lesson.
Do I need any experience to start Java Academy?
No prior experience is required. Java Academy on CoddyKit is structured for beginners through advanced learners; this is — lesson 2 of 3, so you can start here or from the beginning and move at your own pace.
