I have a text file (Items.txt) that has the following data: date, name, description and price and its formatted like so:

31/10/2018, Food, Hamburger, 10.00

31/10/2018, Clothes, Hoodie, 50.00

1/11/2018, Games, Controller, 150.00

1/11/2018, Food, Chips, 5.00

How would I get the total amount of the the food only? Here is the snippet I have worked so far:

public static double totalFoodExpense(byte choiceCode, byte expenseChoiceCode, doubletotalExpense) throws  IOException{

    double total =0;

    double amount = 0;

    String expense= "";

    xpenseCode = 0;

    Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);

    Scanner read = new Scanner(new File("Items.txt"));

    System.out.println("Enter the expense code to determine the total amount that you have spent on");

    System.out.println("Codes <  Food(1), Clothes(2), Games(3),  > n Please " +

            "just enter a number");

    xpenseCode = Byte.parseByte(kb.nextLine());

    while (read.hasNextLine()){

        String oneLine = read.nextLine();

        String parts = oneLine.split(",");

        if(xpenseCode == 1){

           //Nothing yet



        }

    }



    return total;

}

The user would enter a number( 1 for Food, 2 for clothes, and 3 for games) to determine the total amount of that certain item. So an expected output would look like this:

Enter the expense code to determine the total amount that you have spent on

Codes <  Food(1), Clothes(2), Games(3), > Please just enter a number: 

1 <--user input 

The total expense of Food is 15.00

I have figured it out.

public static double totalTuitionExpense() throws  IOException{

    double total =0;

    double amount = 0;

    String expense= "";

    byte xpenseCode = 0;

    Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);

    Scanner read = new Scanner(new File("items.txt"));



    System.out.print("Enter 1 for Food: ");

    try{

    xpenseCode = Byte.parseByte(kb.nextLine());

    double sum = 0.0;

    while (read.hasNextLine()){

        String oneLine = read.nextLine();

        String parts = oneLine.split(",");

        amount = Double.parseDouble(parts[3]);

        expense = parts[1];

        if(xpenseCode == 1){

                if (expense.compareToIgnoreCase("tuition")==0) {

                    sum += amount;

                }

            }

        }

    System.out.printf("The total expense of Food is %.2f%n", sum);}

    catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e){

        System.out.println("Error");

    }

        return total;

    }
