Read file into array – Java

I'm practicing Java and watching the exercise online:

But I'm in the situation I need

Read the file again,and initialise the elements of the array

task

Current code

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

class Members {

    MemberElement[] members;

    public Members(String fileName) throws IOException {
        File myFile = new File(fileName);
        Scanner scan = new Scanner(myFile);

        int numOfLines = 0;
        while(scan.hasNextLine()) {
            scan.nextLine();
            numOfLines++;
        }
        scan.close();
        scan = new Scanner(myFile);

        members = new MemberElement[numOfLines];   
}

Memberelement class:

class MemberElement {

    private String name;
    private int number;
    private int birthDate;

    public MemberElement(String name,int number,int birthDate) {
        this.name = name;
        this.number = number;
        this.birthDate = birthDate;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return this.name;
    }

    public int getNumber() {
        return this.number;
    }

    public int getBirth() {
        return this.birthDate;
    }

    public String toString() {
        return getName() + " " + getNumber() + " " + getBirth(); 
    }
}

Solution

It is basically the same as the calculation line:

int numOfLines = 0;
while(scan.hasNextLine()) {
    scan.nextLine();
    numOfLines++;
}

However, we now need to actually visit the next line Browse scanner docs quickly and tell me that nextline just returns what we want

int numOfLine = 0;
while(scan.hasNextLine()) {
    String line = scan.nextLine();
    members[numOfLine] = new MemberElement(line,numOfLine,/* birthDate */);
    numOfLine++;
}
