Answer 1

You are getting the error (exception) because your file has very big numbers that do not fit on Integer types. You should use Long.

So, use: aScanner.nextLong() instead of aScanner.nextInt().

EDIT: You should also change the type of the sum variable from int to long.

Your code will work fine.
