Bubble sort and input

I have to enter 3 jumpers who will jump 2 times.
Here is an illustration via my console for the first jump. (it's step is ok)
Then, for the second jump. I have to sort the first jump from the smallest to the biggest.
So, I have to retrieve the jumper Emilie and not Olivia.
I don't understand how to do this ?
I think my problem is my sortBublle() method ?
import java.util.*;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] arrayJumper = new String[3];
int[] arrayJump = new int[3];
encoding_jump_1(arrayJumper, arrayJump);
sortBublle(arrayJump);
encoding_jump_2(arrayJumper, arrayJump);
}
public static void encoding_jump_1(String[] arrayJumper, int[] arrayJump){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int iJumper = 0;
int iJump = 0;
System.out.println("Jump 1 : ");
for(int i=0; i<arrayJumper.length; i++){
System.out.print("Enter jumper " + (i+1) + " : ");
String jumper = input.next();
arrayJumper[iJumper++] = jumper;
System.out.print("Enter for the jumper " + arrayJumper[i] + " the first jump please : ");
int jump = input.nextInt();
while(jump <= 9 || jump >=111){
System.out.print("Error ! The jump should to be between 10 and 100 please : ");
jump = input.nextInt();
}
arrayJump[iJump++] = jump;
}
}
public static void sortBublle(int[] arrayJump){
int size = arrayJump.length;
int tempo = 0;
for(int i=0; i<size; i++){
for(int j=1; j < (size - i) ; j++){
if(arrayJump[j-1] > arrayJump[j]){
tempo = arrayJump[j-1];
arrayJump[j-1] = arrayJump[j];
arrayJump[j] = tempo;
}
}
}
}
public static void encoding_jump_2(String[] arrayJumper, int[] arrayJump){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int iJump = 0;
System.out.println("Jump 2 : ");
for(int i=0; i<arrayJumper.length; i++){
System.out.print("Enter for the jumper " + arrayJumper[i] + " the second jump please : ");
int jump = input.nextInt();
while(jump <= 9 || jump >=111){
System.out.print("Error ! The jump should to be between 10 and 100 please : ");
jump = input.nextInt();
}
arrayJump[iJump++] = jump;
}
}
}
Thank you very much for your help.

You are only sorting arrayJump --> You need to sort both arrayJumper and arrayJump`
...
if(arrayJump[j-1] > arrayJump[j]){
tempo = arrayJump[j-1];
arrayJump[j-1] = arrayJump[j];
arrayJump[j] = tempo;
tempName = arrayJumper[j-1];
arrayJumper[j-1] = arrayJumper[j];
arrayJumper[j] = tempName;
}

Compare scanner input to array

Idea:
User inputs their bets by typing either 'W','L' or 'T' (wins, losses or tie). Program generates random results within these parameters. User input and result gets printed, and a score is presented based on correct bets, which is supplied by the program.
Im having issues on how to proceed with comparing user generated input from scanner to an arraylist that produces a random result.
If it were not for the multiple "questions" and "answers" I could use a (val.equals(input)) of sort. However, each individual bet is random and must be matched against the users bets to sum up the users score, that complicates it.
Any help appreciated.
public class test3 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int score = 0;
System.out.println("Betting game initiating... \nType 'W' for win, 'L' for loss and 'T' for tie.");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String array[] = new String[5];
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
System.out.println("Please enter your bet:");
array[i]=input.nextLine();
}
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("w");
list.add("l");
list.add("t");
System.out.println("This week wins, losses and ties loading...\n");
System.out.println("Result:");
test3 obj = new test3();
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
System.out.print(obj.getRandomList(list) + " ");
}
System.out.println("\n\nYour bets were:");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
System.out.print(array[i] + " ");
}
System.out.println("\n\nYou were correct on: " + score + " bettings");
}
private Random random = new Random();
public String getRandomList(List<String> list) {
int index = random.nextInt(list.size());
return list.get(index);
}
}

One way to do this is in the code below.
You basically need to compare each element of your input with each element of the random list so run loop.
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test {
private Random random = new Random();
public static void main(String[] args) {
int score = 0;
System.out
.println("Betting game initiating... \nType 'W' for win, 'L' for loss and 'T' for tie.");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String array[] = new String[5];
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println("Please enter your bet:");
array[i] = input.nextLine();
}
System.out.println("\n\nYour bets were:");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.print(array[i] + " ");
}
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
list.add("w");
list.add("l");
list.add("t");
System.out.println("This week wins, losses and ties loading...\n");
System.out.println("Result:");
Test obj = new Test();
List<String> randList = new ArrayList<>();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
randList.add(obj.getRandomList(list));
}
for(String randBet : randList){
System.out.print( randBet + " ");
}
System.out.println("");
int counter = 0;
for (String yourbet: Arrays.asList(array)){
if(randList.get(counter).equals(yourbet)){
score++;
}
counter++;
}
System.out.println("\n\nYou were correct on: " + score + " bettings");
}
public String getRandomList(List<String> list) {
int index = random.nextInt(list.size());
return list.get(index);
}
}

I removed test3 for simplicity, but basically you need save results on array and generate random results and saving them (i.e a list). Then you have to iterate through and compare each game result, and if your bet is correct, just add one to score. Check the code below:
Main:
public static void main(String[] args) {
int score = 0;
String array[] = new String[5];
List < String > randomResultList = new ArrayList<String> ( );
System.out.println("Betting game initiating... \nType 'W' for win, 'L' for loss and 'T' for tie.");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
System.out.println("Please enter your bet:");
array[i]=input.nextLine();
}
System.out.println("This week wins, losses and ties loading...\n");
System.out.println("Result:");
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
String randomResult = getRandomList();
System.out.print( randomResult + " ");
randomResultList.add ( randomResult );
}
System.out.println("\n\nYour bets were:");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
System.out.print(array[i] + " ");
}
//here is where you compare each result
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
if( array[i].equals ( randomResultList.get ( i ) ))
{
score++;
}
}
System.out.println("\n\nYou were correct on: " + score + " bettings");
}
private static Random random = new Random();
public static String getRandomList() {
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("w", "l", "t");
int index = random.nextInt(list.size());
return list.get(index);
}
I/O Example:
Betting game initiating...
Type 'W' for win, 'L' for loss and 'T' for tie.
Please enter your bet:
w
Please enter your bet:
w
Please enter your bet:
w
Please enter your bet:
w
Please enter your bet:
w
This week wins, losses and ties loading...
Result:
l l l t w
Your bets were:
w w w w w
You were correct on: 1 bettings
Extra:
You could do all on the same iteration! check this out.
public static void main(String[] args) {
int score = 0;
// Win Loose or Tie
List<String> list = Arrays.asList("w", "l", "t");
Random rand = new Random ( );
//String with result and bets i.e (wwwww) and (wlltw). This avoid another iteration.
String result="";
String bets = "";
System.out.println("Betting game initiating... \nType 'W' for win, 'L' for loss and 'T' for tie.");
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
System.out.println("Please enter your bet:");
String bet =input.nextLine();
String randomResult = ( list.get ( rand.nextInt ( list.size ( ) ) ));
//concatenate String with results and bets with +=
result += randomResult;
bets += bet;
//check if u won
if( bet.equals ( randomResult ))
{
score++;
}
}
//This are just the results! no more iterations.
System.out.println("This week wins, losses and ties loading...\n");
System.out.println("Result:" + result);
System.out.println("\n\nYour bets were:" + bets );
System.out.println("\n\nYou were correct on: " + score + " bettings");
}

Sorting a string array and a int array

I am practicing sorting of arrays, and I have successfully sorted a string array.
My little program allows users to enter first number of students, then the name of each one, and at last their grade of each one.
But I also want to sort the int studentGrade array so that the grades in the printout matches the student. Here I am really stuck. See further down for more explanation down in the method: public void sortingAlgorithm

The problem with your approach is that there is no relation between a student name and grade. If you sort the names and sort the grades you will end up with students with letter A having the least grades.
If that's a java assignment the best way to do it would be to create a data structure (class) called Student that has name and grade.
class Student{
String name;
int grade;
}
Then you will not have two arrays one with names and other with grades but just one array of Students and you will be able to sort that array by grades,names etc.
If you want a quicker solution that would be to use a map like Map<String,Integer> that will contain the grade for each student.
If you want to use multiple array you can make the sortAlgorithm method to swap the same indexes in both arrays (not only in the names array) and this way you will end up with grades sorted by names. This is the worst approach IMO because you depend too much on the array indexes instead of having some relation between the objects.

In this particular case, the solution is relatively easy. In this place, where you exchange the two student names:
for (int i = j + 1; i < studentNames.length; i++) {
if (studentNames[i].compareTo(studentNames[j]) < 0) {
String temp = studentNames[j];
studentNames[j] = studentNames[i];
studentNames[i] = temp;
}
}
You also exchange the corresponding grades at the same time:
for (int i = j + 1; i < studentNames.length; i++) {
if (studentNames[i].compareTo(studentNames[j]) < 0) {
String temp = studentNames[j];
studentNames[j] = studentNames[i];
studentNames[i] = temp;
int tempGrade = studentGrades[j];
studentGrades[j] = studentGrades[i];
studentGrades[i] = tempGrade;
}
}
So, whenever you do a switch of two student names, you switch the corresponding grades at the same time. This will keep the two arrays synchronized.
But as everybody else has been recommending, the better way is to create a class that represents a student - both name and grade. Why? Because in a real world case, a student may have other data, such as different subjects and their matching grades, an attendance record, contact information, whatever the university needs.
And having to add that to the loop for each such data item will make it intractable. If you have all the information in one record, you can just exchange record references, and then the whole data is exchanged together.
The basis for this is a class like:
class Student implements Comparable<Student> {
private String name;
private int grade = 0;
public Student( String name ) {
this.name = name;
}
public void setGrade( int grade ) {
this.grade = grade;
}
// In addition, you'll have getName(), getGrade(),
// and possibly a good `toString()` for printing a
// student record.
#Override
public int compareTo( Student otherStudent ) {
return this.name.compareTo( otherStudent.name );
}
}
Now you can define an array such as:
Student[] students = new Students[numbers];
And you can sort it directly with Arrays.sort() because Student implements Comparable, or you can do your own sorting algorithm and use the compareTo method. Your loop would be:
for (int i = j + 1; i < students.length; i++) {
if (students[i].compareTo(students[j]) < 0) {
Student temp = students[j];
students[j] = students[i];
students[i] = temp;
}
}

As noted above, the "correct" solution is probably to create a Student object and have it contain the student's name and grade. However, if you really need to have two separate arrays, you could just perform the same swapping on on the grade array that you do on the name array:
if (studentNames[i].compareTo(studentNames[j]) < 0) {
String temp = studentNames[j];
studentNames[j] = studentNames[i];
studentNames[i] = temp;
int tempGrade = studentGrade[i];
studentGrade[j] = studentGrade[i];
studentGrade[i] = tempGrade;
}

What you want to do, is Sort the grade array according to the student array i think, so in you for loop, everytime you switch a student, you want to switch the grade
for (int j = 0; j < studentNames.length - 1; j++) {
for (int i = j + 1; i < studentNames.length; i++) {
if (studentNames[i].compareTo(studentNames[j]) < 0) {
String temp = studentNames[j];
studentNames[j] = studentNames[i];
studentNames[i] = temp;
// Here i want to place another array that sorts the grade?? how do i do that?
int tempGrade = studentGrades[j];
studentGrades[j] = studentGrades[i]
studentGrades[i] = temp
}
}
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(studentNames));
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(studentGrade));
}
this design isn't that good, maybe take the advice from #Veselin Davidov in account

Your problem is that when you sort one array (say your student name list), your second array cant keep up with the same way.... apples and oranges.
You have somes solutions. The one that comes in mind right now is to use a map linking each name to its grade. You could also, well, use POO and declare a Studen object, that actually would look like a nicer solution, i'll let you read on Veselin's answer for that.
Let's look at the quickfix though, since i think that's why you're looking for :
Personally one workaround to your kinda-broken code would be to change your swap function to this :
if (studentNames[i].compareTo(studentNames[j]) < 0) {
String tmp = studentNames[j];
studentNames[j] = studentNames[i];
studentNames[i] = tmp;
int tmpGrade = studentGrade[i];
studentGrade[j] = studentGrade[i];
studentGrade[i] = tmpGrade;
}
But, i strongly recommend using either classes or a map.

You should really have an abstraction representing a Student, e.g.
public class Student {
Integer grade;
String name;
// getters and setters omitted
}
Then, you'll face the problem of extending the Comparator interface multiple times with different types (Integer and String). At this point, read this :

2-Dimensional Array to Hold the Sales Totals for Used and New Cars

I had to create a java program for my class for a car dealership that sells both new and used cars. We need a program that can ask the user for the number of sales people. Add their names to a String array. Next, ask for sales totals for new cars and used cars separately. Here is my program so far. I was wondering if there was a way to include the following three headers for my table: Name, Used Sales, and New Sales.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int numemployees;
System.out.println("Enter the Number of Employees: ");
numemployees = in.nextInt();
String[] names = new String[numemployees];
String line;
for (int i = 0; i < numemployees; i++)
{
System.out.print("Enter the name of the Salesperson: ");
names[i] = in.next();
}
double [][] sales = new double [numemployees][2];
for(int j = 0; j < numemployees; j++)
{
System.out.println("Enter New Car Sales: "+ names[j]);
sales[j][0] = in.nextDouble();
System.out.println("Enter Used Car Sales: ");
sales[j][1] = in.nextDouble();
}
for(int x = 0; x < numemployees; x++)
{
System.out.println(names[x] + "\t" + sales[x][0] + "\t" + sales[x][0] + "\t");
}
}
}

To print header use System.out.println:
System.out.println("Name \t Used Sales \t New Sales");
for(int x = 0; x < numemployees; x++)
{
System.out.println(names[x] + "\t" + sales[x][0] + "\t" + sales[x][1] + "\t");
}
And one more think be careful with indexes: You have used System.out.println(names[x] + "\t" + sales[x][0] + "\t" + sales[x][0] + "\t");. The problem is with sales[x][0] It will only twice print same value.

1I would suggest using String.format for this. Then you get some nice formatting along with it.
System.out.println(String.format("%-10s%-10s%-10s", "Name", "Used Sales", "New Sales"));
for(int x = 0; x < numemployees; x++)
{
System.out.println(String.format("%8.2f%8.2f%8.2f", names[x], sales[x][0], sales[x][1]));
}

Printing Two Dimensional Array in Special Format

I am working in a small task that allow the user to enter the regions of any country and store them in one array. Also, each time he enters a region, the system will ask him to enter the neighbours of that entered region and store these neighbours.
I did the whole task but I have a small problem:
I could not be able to print each region and its neighbours like the following format:
Region A: neighbour1 neighbour2
Region B: neighbour1 neighbour2
For example, let us take USA map. I want to print the result as following:
Washington D.C: Texas, Florida, Oregon
and so on.
My code is:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test7{public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Please enter the number of regions: ");
int REGION_COUNT = kb.nextInt();
String[] regionNames = new String[REGION_COUNT];
String[][] regions = new String[REGION_COUNT][2];
for (int r = 0; r < regions.length; r++) {
System.out.print("Please enter the name of region #" + (r + 1)
+ ": ");
regionNames[r] = kb.next();
System.out
.print("How many neighbors for region #" + (r + 1) + ": ");
if (kb.hasNextInt()) {
int size = kb.nextInt();
regions[r] = new String[size];
for (int n = 0; n < size; n++) {
System.out.print("Please enter the neighbour #" + (n)
+ ": ");
regions[r][n] = kb.next();
}
} else
System.exit(0);
}
for (int i = 0; i < REGION_COUNT; i++) {
System.out.print(regionNames[i] +": ");
for (int k = 0; k < 2; k++) {
System.out.print(regions[i][k]+", ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
The code works fine but the problem is with printing the result only.
Also, I should use the 2 dimensional array.

As I see it, you think your problem is dealing with a jagged 2-D array. I think your problem is that you're using arrays of strings in the first place. I'd suggest using a class to model your regions and their neighbors rather than an array of strings.
public class Region
{
private String Name;
public void setName( String name ) {
this.Name = name;
}
public String getName() {
return this.Name;
}
private ArrayList<Region> Neighbors;
public void addNeighbor( Region neighbor ) {
...
}
public ArrayList<Region> getNeighbors()
{
...
}
}
Then keep a hash of the known regions, creating new ones as necessary, and use those to populate a region's neighbors as needed. Then you can iterate over the regions in your hash and, for each region, iterate over its neighbors.

This is what you want:
for (int i = 0; i < region.length; i++){
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(region[i] + ": ");
for (int i2 = 0; i2 < neighbor.length; i2++){
if (i2 != 0 && i2 != neighbor.length-1){
sb.append(", " + neighbor[i2]);
}else{
sb.append(neighbor); //it still need a validation of an array of 2 Strings
}
}
System.out.println(sb.toString());
}
