Question

I am Writing a java program to remove the comments in the same java program.
I am thinking of using a file reader. But I’m not sure whether it will work.

Because two process will be using the same file.
But I think before executing the code, java file will make a .class file.
So if I use a filereader to edit the java file. It should not give me error that another process is already using this file.

Am I thinking correct?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes, you can do that without any problems.

Note: Be careful with things like:

String notAComment  = "// This is not a comment";
