The above program will accept any number of employee records as user input and write the records to a file in a loop. In the first shaded line, create the statement to accept the employee data value from the keyboard as a String and convert it to an integer using the parseInt() method. In the second shaded line, create the statement to compute the record's desired position by multiplying the ID number value by the record size.
