Can not find my error ? Help

[G. Graz]

I can not get my CharacterCount class to work correctly anyone have any ideas what I am missing ? Thank you for the help !

import java.io.*;
 
public class CharacterCount
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
                   throws FileNotFoundException, IOException
   {
        int lineCount = 0;
        int[] letterCount = new int[26];
 
        IntClass next = new IntClass();
 
        FileReader inputStream = new FileReader("text.txt");
 
        PrintWriter outfile = new PrintWriter("textCh.out");
 
        next.setNum(inputStream.read());
 
        while (next.getNum() != -1)
        {
            copyText(inputStream, outfile, next, letterCount);
            lineCount++;
            next.setNum(inputStream.read());
        }  //end while loop
 
        writeTotal(outfile, lineCount, letterCount);
 
        outfile.close();
    }
 

    static void copyText(FileReader infile, PrintWriter outfile,
                         IntClass next, int[] letterC)
                         throws IOException
    {
        while (next.getNum() != (int)'\n' && next.getNum() != -1 )
        {
            outfile.print((char)(next.getNum()));
            chCount((char)(next.getNum()), letterC);
            next.setNum(infile.read());
        }
 
        outfile.println();
    }
 
    static void chCount(char ch, int[] letterC)
    {
        int index;
        int i;
 
        ch = Character.toUpperCase(ch);
 
        index = (int) ch - 65;
 
        if (index >= 0 && index < 26)
            letterC[index]++;
    }

                           int[] letters)

        outfile.println();
        outfile.println("The number of lines = " + lines);
 
        for (i = 0; i < 26; i++)
            outfile.println((char)(i + 65) + " count = "
                           + letters[i]);
    }
}

Does the class compile? If not, what is the compile error? If yes, then what is the class supposed to do, and what does it do?

Yes it does compile , This program reads a given text, outputs the text as is, and prints the number of lines and the number of times each letter appears in the text. An uppercase letter and a
lowercase letter are treated as being the same; that is,
they are tallied together.

Is that what it actually does or what it is supposed to do ? If it is what it is supposed to do, then tell us what it actually is doing.

I don't see try {} and catch{} is required. See examples below:

 class Arquivo{
public static void main(String a[]){
File f = new File("arquivo.txt");
try{

FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f);
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
bw.write("lopes");
bw.newLine();
bw.write("neto");
bw.flush();
bw.close();
}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
//reading
try{
FileReader fr = new FileReader(f);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

String s;
while((s=br.readLine())!=null){
System.out.println(s);
}
}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
}}
