Here's the current java code that I am using (in IntelliJ):

import java.lang.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

public class PS6LoopsPart2Q5p2 {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        RandomAccessFile br=new RandomAccessFile("dictionary.txt","r");
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        String s;


        while(true)
        {

            System.out.println("Enter word to spellcheck (or exit to end)");

            String key=input.nextLine();
            if (key.equalsIgnoreCase("exit"))
            {
                System.out.println("Ending program...");
                System.exit(0);
            }

            else
            {
                while ((s=br.readLine())!=null){
                    if(!s.contains(key))
                    {
                        System.out.println(key+" is spelled correctly.");
                        break;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        System.out.println(key+" is not spelled correctly.");
                        break;

                }

Answer 1

code:

import java.util.*; //to use Scanner class
import java.io.*; //to use file operations
import java.lang.*;

public class PS6LoopsPart2Q5p2{
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
  
RandomAccessFile br=new RandomAccessFile("C:\\Users\\Rupa\\Desktop\\dictionary.txt","r");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String s;
boolean x;
int found;

while(true)
{

System.out.println("Enter word to spellcheck (or exit to end)");

String key=input.nextLine();
if (key.equalsIgnoreCase("exit"))
{
System.out.println("Ending program...");
System.exit(0);
}

else
{
found = 0; // for every time we initially set found as 0
br.seek(0); // Again moving the cursor to initial position
while((s=br.readLine())!=null){
if(s.equals(key)) // equals method is used to comapre two strings
{
found = 1;
System.out.println(key+" is spelled correctly.");
break;
}
}
if(found==0)
{
System.out.println(key+" is not spelled correctly.");
}
}
}

}   
}
