Creating a matrix from a text file - Java

I have this text file:
2
2
12
13
23
24
49
59
69
79
the first two numbers should be the rows and columns of the matrix, which is 2x2 in this case. My issue that I'm trying to get around is finding a way to include a second 2D array that holds the second matrix.
my code:
Scanner fileInput = new Scanner(new File("input1.txt"));
int n1 = fileInput.nextInt();
int n2 = fileInput.nextInt();
System.out.print("matrix is " + n1 + "x" + n2 +"\n");
int [][] firstMatrix = new int [n1][n2];
int [][] secondMatrix = new int [n1][n2];
for(int i = 0; i < n1; ++i)
{
for(int j = 0; j < n2; ++j)
{
if(fileInput.hasNextInt())
{
firstMatrix[i][j] = fileInput.nextInt();
}
}
}
System.out.println("Matrices: ");
for(int i = 0; i < n1; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < n2; j++)
{
System.out.println(firstMatrix[i][j]);
}
}
it only prints the following:
12
13
23
24
How do I make it read the next four lines of integers from the file? It would also be helpful to understand how I can make it look something like this:
12 13
23 24
EDIT: This approach seemed to help with the last question:
for(int i=0; i<n1; i++)
{
for(int j=0; j<n2; j++)
{
System.out.print(firstMatrix[i][j] + " " );
//System.out.print(secondMatrix[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
The only problem I'm facing now is being able to include the four other integers and turn them into a matrix.

You can group them to 1 array:
int matrixNumb = 2; // number of matrix
int [][][] matrix = new int [matrixNumb][n1][n2];
for (int h = 0; h < matrixNumb; h++)
{
for(int i = 0; i < n1; ++i)
{
for(int j = 0; j < n2; ++j)
{
if(fileInput.hasNextInt())
{
matrix [h][i][j] = fileInput.nextInt(); // read from file
}
}
}
}
System.out.println("Matrices: ");
for (int h = 0; h < matrixNumb; h++)
{
for(int i = 0; i < n1; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < n2; j++)
{
System.out.print(matrix[h][i][j]);
System.out.print("\t"); //How do you want to separate columns?
}
System.out.print("\r\n"); //How do you want to separate rows?
}
System.out.println(); //How do u want to print next matrix?
}
I have not compiled or run it, but hope it help.

You can just read data for the two arrays from file sequentially, like this:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class App {
private static void readMatrix(final Scanner scanner, final int[][] matrix) {
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; ++j) {
if (scanner.hasNextInt()) {
matrix[i][j] = scanner.nextInt();
}
}
}
}
private static void displayMatrix(final int[][] matrix) {
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) {
System.out.print(matrix[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
public static void main(final String... args) throws FileNotFoundException {
final Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File("input.txt"));
final int n1 = scanner.nextInt();
final int n2 = scanner.nextInt();
System.out.print(String.format("The matrix is %d x %d \n", n1, n2));
final int[][] firstMatrix = new int[n1][n2];
final int[][] secondMatrix = new int[n1][n2];
System.out.println("Reading data to first matrix");
readMatrix(scanner, firstMatrix);
System.out.println("Reading data to second matrix");
readMatrix(scanner, secondMatrix);
System.out.println("First Matrix");
displayMatrix(firstMatrix);
System.out.println("Second Matrix");
displayMatrix(secondMatrix);
}
}

for(int i = 0; i < n1*n1; i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j < n2*n2; j++)
{
if(fileInput.hasNextInt())
{
if(i < n1){
firstMatrix[i][j] = fileInput.nextInt();
}
else
{
secondMatrix[i][j] = fileInput.nextInt();
}
}
}
}
You have two matrix of size n*n so you can do like this:

Switching rows on 2d-array generated at random

This is a 2d array which is generated at random, and stores 20 integers from 100-1000. I got that part right, I'm trying to switch the rows of this 2d array and not having much luck, i tried the temp but for some reason it comes out as column array...
public static void main (String args[]){
int [][] randArray = new int[2][10];
Random rnd = new Random();
for(int i=0; i<randArray.length; i++)
for(int j=0; j<randArray[i].length; j++)
randArray[i][j] = 100 + rnd.nextInt(900);
for (int i=0; i < randArray.length; i++){
System.out.println("Row " + i);
for (int j=0; j < randArray[i].length; j++)
System.out.print(randArray[i][j]+ " ");
System.out.println();
}
System.out.println("Switch row ");
int temp = 0;
for (int j=0; j < randArray[0].length; j++){
temp = randArray[0][j];
randArray[0][j] = randArray[1][j];
randArray[1][j] = temp;
//System.out.println(randArray[i][j]+ " ");
}
}
}
Switch the rows as in row1 [1,2,3,4,5] row2 [6,7,8,9,10] to row1[6,7,8,9,10] row2[1,2,3,4,5]

You can use Arrays.deepToString(Object[]) to print the array. Display the array after you perform your swap. Something like,
int[][] randArray = new int[2][10];
Random rnd = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < randArray.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < randArray[i].length; j++) {
randArray[i][j] = 100 + rnd.nextInt(900);
}
}
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(randArray));
System.out.println("Switch row ");
for (int j = 0; j < randArray[0].length; j++) {
int temp = randArray[0][j];
randArray[0][j] = randArray[1][j];
randArray[1][j] = temp;
}
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(randArray));

Your code is working actually I fixed only the compile error;
public static void main(String args[]) {
int[][] randArray = new int[2][10];
Random rnd = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < randArray.length; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < randArray[i].length; j++)
randArray[i][j] = 100 + rnd.nextInt(900);
for (int i = 0; i < randArray.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Row " + i);
for (int j = 0; j < randArray[i].length; j++)
System.out.print(randArray[i][j] + " ");
System.out.println();
}
System.out.println("Switch row ");
int temp = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < randArray[0].length; j++) {
temp = randArray[0][j];
randArray[0][j] = randArray[1][j];
randArray[1][j] = temp;
//System.out.println(randArray[i][j]+ " "); no i variable
}
//I added only below lines to print your result
for (int i = 0; i < randArray.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Row " + i);
for (int j = 0; j < randArray[i].length; j++)
System.out.print(randArray[i][j] + " ");
System.out.println();
}
}

Printing 2D Array in Java

I'm trying print a 10x10 grid, I don't need any particular symbols, just the 10x10 format. There's actually a lot more to the whole program but right now I'm stuck on this. I really just want to print *'s for a simple Pacman game. I'm not good at programming at all, but I have to pass so I can graduate next semester. Here is what I have so far;
public class Pacman {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int columns = 0;
int rows = 0;
int[][] grid = new int[rows][columns];
for (int i = 0; i < grid.length; i++){
for (int j = 0; j < grid.length; j++){
System.out.println(grid[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}
I don't have errors in syntax or compiling, but nothing actually prints.

int columns = 10;
int rows = 10;
int[][] grid = new int[rows][columns];
for (int i = 0; i < grid.length; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < grid.length; j++)
{
grid[i][j] = 0;
System.out.print(grid[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
That will print out a 10x10 with every number in the array being 0

public static void main(String[] args) {
int columns = 10;
int rows = 10;
int[][] grid = new int[rows][columns];
for (int i = 0; i < grid.length; i++){
for (int j = 0; j < grid.length; j++){
System.out.print(grid[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}

The code below will print two square matrices and I need them to perform multiplication between the two matrices but i cant seem to get that part working. I put a comment right before that block of code where the problem is. But for now all it prints is zeros. Iv been looking online at a lot of sites but cant seem to get mine to work.
import java.util.*;
import java.math.*;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//create the grid
final int rowWidth = 9;
final int colHeight = 9;
Random rand = new Random();
int [][] board = new int [rowWidth][colHeight];
//fill the grid
for (int row = 0; row < board.length; row++) {
for (int col = 0; col < board[row].length; col++) {
board[row][col] = rand.nextInt(10);
}
}
//display output
for(int i = 0; i < board.length; i++) {
for(int j = 0; j < board[i].length; j++) {
System.out.print(board[i][j] + " ");
//System.out.println();
}
System.out.println();
}
System.out.println();
int [][] board2 = new int [rowWidth][colHeight];
//fill the grid
for (int row2 = 0; row2 < board2.length; row2++) {
for (int col2 = 0; col2 < board[row2].length; col2++) {
board[row2][col2] = rand.nextInt(10);
}
}
//display output
for(int m = 0; m < board2.length; m++) {
for(int n = 0; n < board[m].length; n++) {
System.out.print(board[m][n] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
//error is somewhere here
int[][] calculationMultiplication = new int[rowWidth][colHeight];
for (int l = 0; l < rowWidth; l++) {
for (int t = 0; t < colHeight; t++) {
for (int z = 0; z < rowWidth; z++) {
calculationMultiplication[l][t] = calculationMultiplication[l][t] + board[l][z] * board2[z][t];
}
}
}
//display output
System.out.println("\nProduct of the 2 matrices is ");
for (int i = 0; i < calculationMultiplication.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < calculationMultiplication[0].length; j++) {
System.out.print(calculationMultiplication[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
} //end of main
} //end of class Main

The problem is that you've not filled the board2 array, so all its elements will be 0. In the for loop, you should also assign random values to board2. You are doing it twice for the board array.
//fill the grid
for (int row2 = 0; row2 < board2.length; row2++) {
for (int col2 = 0; col2 < board2[row2].length; col2++) { // notice 'board2[row].length'
board2[row2][col2] = rand.nextInt(10);
}
}
You should do something similar in the for loops where you display the array:
//display output
for (int m = 0; m < board2.length; m++) {
for (int n = 0; n < board2[m].length; n++) { // notice 'board2[row].length'
System.out.print(board2[m][n] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}

board2 is always zero.
You fill the wrong array here:
//fill the grid
for (int row2 = 0; row2 < board2.length; row2++) {
for (int col2 = 0; col2 < board[row2].length; col2++) {
board[row2][col2] = rand.nextInt(10);
}
}

Basically you just did simple copy paste mistakes that can be avoidable if you used methods. I'll tell you how but first here's how you can discover your mistake:
System.out.println(String.format("%d * %d = %d",board[l][z], board2[z][t], board[l][z] * board2[z][t]));
Add this just before doing the calculation for calculationMultiplication[l][t]. Try if you want...
Anyway getting back to your mistakes, you have populated your first matrix only, the second one contain zeros (verify your code in the for loop for inserting random numbers into the second matrix), therefore any number multiplied by zero is equal to zero.
I haven't looked at all your code, because it contain a lot of copy paste which confused you and could confuse any one as well, so here's a better way to avoid mistakes in printing the matrix and inserting random numbers:
Printing:
void printMatrix(int[][] matrix){
for(int row =0; row < numOfRows; row++){
for(int col =0; col < numOfCols; col++){
System.out.print(matrix[row][col]+" ");
}
System.out.println(); // new line
}
}
Inserting:
void insertMatrix(int[][] matrix){
for(int row =0; row < numOfRows; row++){
for(int col =0; col < numOfCols; col++){
matrix[row][col] = rand.nextInt(10); // rand must be declared outside any method
}
}
}
Putting all together:
import java.util.*;
public class Main {
// create the grid
final static int rowWidth = 9;
final static int colHeight = 9;
static Random rand;
public static void main(String[] args) {
rand = new Random();
int[][] board = new int[rowWidth][colHeight];
int[][] board2 = new int[rowWidth][colHeight];
int[][] calculationMultiplication = new int[rowWidth][colHeight];
// fill
insertMatrxi(board);
// display output
printMatrix(board);
System.out.println();
// fill
insertMatrxi(board2);
// display output
printMatrix(board2);
for (int l = 0; l < rowWidth; l++) {
for (int t = 0; t < colHeight; t++) {
for (int z = 0; z < rowWidth; z++) {
calculationMultiplication[l][t] += board[l][z] * board2[z][t];
}
}
}
// display output
System.out.println("\nProduct of the 2 matrices is ");
printMatrix(calculationMultiplication);
} // end of main
public static void printMatrix(int[][] matrix) {
for (int row = 0; row < rowWidth; row++) {
for (int col = 0; col < colHeight; col++) {
System.out.print(matrix[row][col] + " ");
}
System.out.println(); // new line
}
}
public static void insertMatrxi(int[][] matrix) {

Everything is good, but i just cant get the addition to show up? When I run the program it is blank when it comes to the addition of the matrixes part. Thanks in advance. BtW does anyone know how I would make this display right column justified?
public static void displayMatrixes(int[][] matrix1, int[][] matrix2, int[][] resultsMatrix) {
System.out.println("This is how i want it to output");
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {

I doubt that the given program compiles. In this line: int[][] resultsMatrix = displayMatrixes(a, b); you are expecting an int[][], but in your method displayMatrixes you are not returning anything. You are also expecting a 3rd parameter which you are not passing.
Also, the displayMatrixes method has no return value, which since you are returning something at the end, you must have. Try it again like so:
public static void main(String arg[]) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int a[][] = new int[3][3];
int b[][] = new int[3][3];
int row, column;
System.out.println("\nEnter Matrix A: \n");
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
a[i][j] = input.nextInt();
}
}
System.out.println("\nEnter Matrix B: \n");
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
b[i][j] = input.nextInt();
}
}
System.out.println("\nMatrix A + Matrix B = Matrix C: \n");
displayMatrixes(a, b);
}
public static void displayMatrixes(int[][] a, int[][] b) {
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
System.out.print(a[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.print("+ ");
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
System.out.print(b[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.print("= ");
for (int j = 0; j < 3; j++) {
System.out.print((a[i][j] + b[i][j]) + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

printf with The "%3d" specifier means a minimum width of three spaces, which, by default, will be right-justified.
