Java

I am writing a java class which scans through two documents and saves data taken from them in certain arrays. This uses the following code.

/**

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

public class DocumentRead {
    public int[] questionNum = new int[10];
    public String[] questionText = new String[10];
    public String[] firstAns = new String[10];
    public String[] secondAns = new String[10];
    public String[] thirdAns = new String[10];
    public int[] correctAns = new int[10];
    
    private Scanner questionsSC = new Scanner("Questions.txt");
    private Scanner answersSC = new Scanner("Answers.txt");
    
    private int count = 0;
    
    public DocumentRead()
    {
        while((questionsSC.hasNextLine()) && (answersSC.hasNextLine()))
        {
            questionNum[count] = count++;
            questionText[count] = questionsSC.nextLine();
            firstAns[count] = answersSC.nextLine();
            secondAns[count] = answersSC.nextLine();//Line 35
            thirdAns[count] = answersSC.nextLine();
            correctAns[count] = Integer.parseInt(answersSC.nextLine());
            count++;
        }
    }
}

However, when I run the code I get the following error.

Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException: No line found
	at java.util.Scanner.nextLine(Scanner.java:1540)
	at cwq5.DocumentRead.<init>(DocumentRead.java:35)

It looks like the scanner answersSC will not iterate through the document "Answers.txt" line by line. Please can someone solve this problem.

What I have tried:

The scanner looks through the Notepad document "Answers.txt" which looks like this

I have also changed the code to the one below

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class DocumentRead {
    public int[] questionNum = new int[10];
    public String[] questionText = new String[10];
    public String[] firstAns = new String[10];
    public String[] secondAns = new String[10];
    public String[] thirdAns = new String[10];
    public int[] correctAns = new int[10];
    
    private File questionsFile = new File("Questions.txt");
    private File answersFile = new File("Answers.txt");
    
    
    private Scanner questionsSC = new Scanner(questionsFile);//FileNotFoundException
    private Scanner answersSC = new Scanner(answersFile);//FileNotFoundException
    
    private int count = 0;
    
    public DocumentRead()
    {
        while((questionsSC.hasNextLine()) && (answersSC.hasNextLine()))
        {
            questionNum[count] = count + 1;
            questionText[count] = questionsSC.nextLine();
            firstAns[count] = answersSC.nextLine();
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, firstAns[count]);
            secondAns[count] = answersSC.nextLine();
            thirdAns[count] = answersSC.nextLine();
            correctAns[count] = Integer.parseInt(answersSC.nextLine());
            count++;
        }
    }
}

However the interpreter has detected a unreported exception FileNotFoundException at the stated lines. Does anybody know a way of finding the file without using a fixed file directory. In addition this program is meant to work on multiple computers.
