BufferedWriter is acting strange

Question

I am trying to make a game with a working highscore mechanism and I am using java.io.BufferedWriter to write to a highscore file. I don\'t have an encryption on the highscor

Answer 1

BufferedWriter is attempting to write a series of bytes to the file, not numbers. A number is still a character.

Consider using FileWriter instead, and something as simple as: fileWriter.write(Integer.toString(score)) Write takes a string here, but the output should be the same.
