Answer:
Explanation:
The following code is written in Java. It creates the method as requested which takes in a parameter of type Scanner and opens the passed file, reads all the elements, and prints the lowest-priced element in the file. A test case was done and the output can be seen in the attached picture below.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
class Brainly{
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("file location: ");
String inputLocation = console.next();
File inputFile = new File(inputLocation);
Scanner in = new Scanner(inputFile);
lowestPrice(in);
}
public static void lowestPrice(Scanner in) {
double smallest = in.nextDouble();
while(in.hasNextDouble()){
double number = in.nextDouble();
if (number < smallest) {
smallest = number;
}
}
System.out.println(smallest);
in.close();
}
}
