For all you Java programmers- Here is the Woodrow challenge:

Question

woodrow73 · Answer

I will display some code- and if you enter the correct value in the JOptionPane.showInputDialog, it will read out some information from file  "ark.txt".  Otherwise, it will take the input, and display something else.

If you want to take the challenge- figure out what the password you need to input to have the program read from ark.txt.   Good luck!

I recommend that any undertakers have some knowledge of JOptionPane class, IO - mainly output from a .txt file, a little about try-catch blocks.
