Question

I have a file that is set up like:

10   10
12   32
38   12

I need to put the lines in the even slots in one array and the lines in the odd slots in another array. I am new to java and I have no idea how to do this. I have been searching the internet for hours and have not found anything. Please help me! I will really appreciate it!

I am using a Buffered Reader to read in the file. I have already written a program that reads in the file and puts all the lines in an array, now I just need to know how to code it to separate the lines. So the lines 1,3,5,7,9 will be in one array and lines 2,4,6,8 will be in another.

Code that I have for putting them in one array:

 private static final String FILE = "file.txt";
    private static Point[] points;


    public static void main(final String[] args){
        try{
            final BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(FILE)));
            points = new Point[Integer.parseInt(br.readLine())];
            int i = 0;
            int xMax = 0;
            int yMax = 0;
            while(br.ready()){
                final String[] split = br.readLine().split("\t");
                final int x = Integer.parseInt(split[0]);
                final int y = Integer.parseInt(split[1]);
                xMax = Math.max(x, xMax);
                yMax = Math.max(y, yMax);
                points[i++] = new Point(x, y);




            }

try

    List<String> list1 = new ArrayList<>();
    List<String> list2 = new ArrayList<>();
    String line;
    for (int i = 0; (line = br.readLine()) != null; i++) {
        if (i % 2 == 0) {
            list1.add(line);
        } else {
            list2.add(line);
        }
    }
    String[] even = list1.toArray(new String[list1.size()]);
    String[] odd = list2.toArray(new String[list2.size()]);
