I need to be able of writing to disk the data (utilizing user input), deleting it when I want too and show I understand how classes work. While I understand extends, I don't quite understand what implement does. Extends allows you to use the methods and variables of the class you extended (inheritance). Implement seems similar? Anyways, since I only have 1 day to do this and I've been trying to do this for weeks, what are the classes available that will allow me to: 1.) Write a plain text file to disk? 2.) read the file? 3.) delete the file? 4.) check for the existence of the file? 5.) search for the file? 6.) compare files? Where can I learn more about these specific classes? Any example code that is small and simple to read? :(
