Arrays with user input - java

I am trying to write a program that repeatedly asks the user to supply scores (out of 10) on a test.It needs to continue until a negative value is supplied. Values higher than 10 should be ignored. I also calculated the average of the inputs. After the scores have been inputted, i need to use a single array to produce a table that automatically fills the test scores and the number of occurrences of the certain test score.
I wanted it to look something like this:
Score | # of Occurrences
0 3
1 2
2 4
3 5
4 6
and so on.. P
I am a beginner and this is my first question, so i am sorry if i made a mistake in posting the question or something.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Tester1
{
public static void main()
{
Scanner kbReader= new Scanner (System.in);
int score[] = new int [10];//idk what im doing with these two arrays
int numofOcc []= new int [10];
int counter=0;
int sum=0;
for (int i=0;i<10;i++)// Instead of i<10... how would i make it so that it continues until a negative value is entered.
{
System.out.println("Enter score out of 10");
int input=kbReader.nextInt();
if (input>10)
{
System.out.println("Score must be out of 10");
}
else if (input<0)
{
System.out.println("Score must be out of 10");
break;
}
else
{
counter++;
sum+=input;
}
}
System.out.println("The mean score is " +(sum/counter));
}
}

You could use a do...while loop like this:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Tester1
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner kbReader= new Scanner (System.in);
int scores[] = new int [10];
int counter = 0;
int sum = 0;
int input = 0;
do {
System.out.println("Enter score out of 10 or negative to break.");
input=kbReader.nextInt();
if (input<0) {
break;
} else if (input>10) {
System.out.println("Score must be out of 10");
} else {
scores[input]++;
counter++;
sum+=input;
}
} while (input>0);
System.out.println("Score\t# of occur...");
for(int i =0; i<10; i++) {
System.out.println(i + "\t" + scores[i]);
};
System.out.println("The mean score is " +(sum/counter));
}
}
The formatting can certainly be done better (without c-style tabs) but I don't remember the syntax at the moment.

I think what you need is a List Array! Create ArrayList from array
Think of it as a dynamic array, you don't need to specify the size of the array and it is expanded/made smaller automatically.

What you're missing is a while loop. Here is a nice way to loop through a Scanner for input. It also catches numbers greater than 10 and provides an error message:
public static void main() {
Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
int response = 0;
while (response >= 0) {
System.out.print("Enter score out of 10: ");
response = s.nextInt();
if (response > 10) {
System.out.println("Score must be out of 10.");
} else if (response >= 0) {
list.add(response);
}
}
// Do something with list
}

Store user input in array multiple times

I'm working on a project which...
Allows the user to input 4 numbers that are then stored in an array for later use. I also want every time the user decided to continue the program, it creates a new array which can be compared to later to get the highest average, highest, and lowest values.
The code is not done and I know there are some things that still need some work. I just provided the whole code for reference.
I'm just looking for some direction on the arrays part.
*I believe I am supposed to be using a 2-D array but I'm confused on where to start. If I need to explain more please let me know. (I included as many comments in my code just in case.)
I tried converting the inputDigit(); method to accept a 2-D array but can't figure it out.
If this question has been answered before please redirect me to the appropriate link.
Thank you!

As far as is understood, your program asks the user to input four digits. This process may repeat and you want to have access to all entered numbers. You're just asking how you may store these.
I would store each set of entered numbers as an array of size four.
Each of those arrays is then added to one list of arrays.
A list of arrays in contrast to a two-dimensional array provides the flexibility to dynamically add new arrays.
We store the digits that the user inputs in array of size 4:
public double[] askForFourDigits() {
double[] userInput = new double[4];
for (int i = 0; i < userInput.length; i++) {
userInput[i] = /* ask the user for a digit*/;
}
return userInput;
}
You'll add all each of these arrays to one list of arrays:
public static void main(String[] args) {
// We will add all user inputs (repesented as array of size 4) to this list.
List<double[]> allNumbers = new ArrayList<>();
do {
double[] numbers = askForFourDigits();
allNumbers.add(numbers);
displayCurrentCycle(numbers);
displayAll(allNumbers);
} while(/* hey user, do you want to continue */);
}
You can now use the list to compute statistics for numbers entered during all cycles:
public static void displayAll(List<double[]> allNumbers) {
int maximum = 0;
for (double[] numbers : allNumbers) {
for (double number : numbers) {
maximum = Math.max(maximum, number);
}
}
System.out.println("The greatest ever entered number is " + maximum);
}

Can I do a for loop after two consecutive if statements? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What causes a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and how do I prevent it?
(26 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I am working on a program that has to check for certain conditions (and give out an error message if they are not executed) before executing two for loops (one for the sum of grades entered and one for highest and lowest grades)and I'm not sure how to sequence them.
Also my code is getting me this error -->Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 and I'm not sure what to do to fix the error
If anyone can help me with the skeletons of the correct sequence I would truly appreciate it!
Here is my code (I know it looks crazy, sorry I'm learning!):
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Homework {
public static void main (String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int numberOfMarks, average, sum, total, mark;
numberOfMarks = 0;
int [] marks = new int[numberOfMarks];
int smallest, largest;
//System.out.println("Enter number of marks: ");
numberOfMarks = input.nextInt();
if(numberOfMarks<0) {
System.out.println("Number of marks must be greater than 0!!");
}
//System.out.println("Enter "+numberOfMarks+"marks: ");
mark = input.nextInt();
if(mark<0) {
System.out.println("Negative marks not allowed!!!");
} else if(mark>100) {
System.out.println("Marks above 100% not allowed!!!");
}
sum = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < marks.length; i++) {
sum += marks[i];
}
smallest=marks[0];
largest=marks[0];
for(int i=1;i<marks.length;i++) {
if(marks[i]>largest) {
largest=marks[i];
} else if(marks[i]<smallest) {
smallest=marks[i];
}
average = sum/numberOfMarks;
System.out.println("Highest Mark = "+largest);
System.out.println("Lowest Mark = "+smallest);
System.out.println("Average = "+average);
}
}
}
You can try this:
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int numberOfSubjects, sum;
numberOfSubjects = 0;
System.out.print("Enter the total number of subjects: ");
numberOfSubjects = in.nextInt();
if(numberOfSubjects < 0){
System.out.println("Number of marks must be greater than 0!!");
}
else {
int []marks = new int[numberOfSubjects];
sum = 0;
System.out.print("Enter the marks: ");
// add condition inside for loop for marks not less than 1 or greater than 100
for(int i=0; i<marks.length; i++) {
marks[i] = in.nextInt();
}
// calculate total
for(int i = 0; i < marks.length; i++){
sum += marks[i];
}
// sort marks
Arrays.sort(marks);
System.out.println("Total: " + sum);
System.out.println("Average: " + sum/numberOfSubjects);
System.out.println("Minimum: " + marks[0]);
System.out.println("Maximum: " + marks[marks.length-1]);
}
}
}
Code flow should look like this. Even you can add condition of marks(not less than 1 or greater than 100) while reading marks.
Problem is in the logic, see comments bellow
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Homework {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int numberOfMarks, average, sum, total, mark;
numberOfMarks = 0;
/*there you are creating empty array
you told marks should have length of value numberOfMarks, but
numberOfMarks is equal to zero at this time
*/
int[] marks = new int[numberOfMarks];
int smallest, largest;
//System.out.println("Enter number of marks: ");
numberOfMarks = input.nextInt();
/*
not interesting conditions checking...
*/
for (int i = 0; i < marks.length; i++) {
/*
There you are trying to access 1st element of marks
- indexing from zero, as usual
But there is no first element, array has zero length, zero elements
Ok, you told array should have length of numberOfMarks, but it was
when value was zero, so if you will change numberOfMarks later, it
has no impact on the length of array
*/
sum += marks[i];
}
/*
stats computing, not important
*/
}
}
So, once you got user input for number of marks, then you can "recreate" - realloc / redefine the array, as before
marks = new int[numberOfMarks];
In your case bellow
//System.out.println("Enter number of marks: ");
numberOfMarks = input.nextInt();
Using variable in length of array does not means it will be bounded, so if variable in array length (in this case numberOfMarks) will change later after usage, then length of array will be still the same

Count How many number multiple by the number from input user between a range

again I have a problem with doing practice prepare for the exam.
Would everyone help me? Thanks a lot
write a program input an integer in the range 100 to 200 inclusive. If the user enters invalid input then your algorithm should re-prompt the user until the input is valid. Your algorithm should then count how many numbers between 500 and 1000 which are multiples of the number input. Finally, the count should be output to the user. You should make good use of sub-modules.
Here my code
import java.util.*;
public class Exam3
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int count = 0;
int input = 0;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter number: ");
input = sc.nextInt();
while(input < 100 || input > 200)
{
System.out.println("Enter number between 100 to 200");
input = sc.nextInt();
count ++;
}
System.out.println("count is: " + count);
}
public static void int getCount(int input, int count)
{
for(int i = 499;i <= 1000; i++ )
{
if(i % input==0)
{
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
}
The algorithm should be:
Having correct input, find all multiples of it that are in range [500, 1000]. Count them.
It's a bad approach to check all the numbers, as we know from our math knowledge, that between k*a and k*a + a there is no number divisible by a.
Knowing that and having input we enlarge our temp initialized with value of input by input. If it's in range [500, 1000] we enlarge our counter. Simple as that.
public static void main(String args[]) {
int count = 0;
int input = 0;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter number: ");
input = sc.nextInt();
while (input < 100 || input > 200) {
System.out.println("Enter number between 100 to 200");
input = sc.nextInt();
count++;
}
System.out.println(input + " fits " + count(input) + " times");
}
private static int count(int input) {
int result = 0;
int temp = input;
while (temp <= 1000) {
if (temp >= 500) {
result++;
}
temp += input;
}
return result;
}
According to your code, I see some issues. I'll point them out, as it is important for practicing Java.
Method can be either void or return int. You can't have void int. In this case, we return int, so int is the return type,
It's important to stick to Java styling. Don't put too many empty lines, keep indents.
Use Eclipse or IntelliJ (IntelliJ is more pro). They will point unused code blocks, so you would know that that getCount wasn't called.

I have been asked to make an Create a new integer array with 16 elements

Java code (not Java script). I was asked to create a new integer array with 16 elements.
Only integers between 1 and 7 are to be entered in the array from user (scanner)input.
Only valid user input should be permitted, and any integers entered outside the bounds (i.e. < 1 or > 7 should be excluded and a warning message displayed.
Design a program that will sort the array.
The program should display the contents of the sorted array.
The program should then display the numbers of occurrences of each number chosen by user input
however i have been trying to complete this code step by step and used my knowledge to help me but need help my current code is under I would appreciate if some one is able to edit my code into the above wants.I know it needs to enter the array by user input store and reuse the code to sort the numbers into sort the array.
The result should print out something like this like this
“The numbers entered into the array are:” 1, 2,4,5,7
“The number you chose to search for is” 7
“This occurs” 3 “times in the array”
import java.util.Scanner;
public class test20 {
public static void main (String[] args){
Scanner userInput = new Scanner (System.in);
int [] nums = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,6,6,2,7,7,1,4,5,6};
int count = 0;
int input = 0;
boolean isNumber = false;
do {
System.out.println ("Enter a number to check in the array");
if (userInput.hasNextInt()){
input = userInput.nextInt();
System.out.println ("The number you chose to search for is " + input);
isNumber = true;
}else {
System.out.println ("Not a proper number");
}
for (int i = 0; i< nums.length; i++){
if (nums [i]==input){
count ++;
}
}
System.out.println("This occurs " + count + " times in the array");
}
while (!(isNumber));
}
private static String count(String string) {
return null;
}
}
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class test20 {
private static int readNumber(Scanner userInput) {
int nbr;
while (true) {
while(!userInput.hasNextInt()) {
System.out.println("Enter valid integer!");
userInput.next();
}
nbr = userInput.nextInt();
if (nbr >= 1 && nbr <= 7) {
return nbr;
} else {
System.out.println("Enter number in range 1 to 7!");
}
}
}
private static int count(int input, int[] nums) {
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){
if (nums[i] == input){
count++;
} else if (nums[i] > input) {
break;
}
}
return count;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
int[] nums = new int[16];
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
nums[i] = readNumber(userInput);
}
Arrays.sort(nums);
System.out.println ("Sorted numbers: " + Arrays.toString(nums));
int input = 0;
while(true) {
System.out.println("Search for a number in array");
input = readNumber(userInput);
System.out.println("The number you chose to search for is " + input);
System.out.println("This occurs " +
count(input, nums) + " times in the array");
}
}
}
Because the array is sorted, I break the loop if an element larger than the one we're looking for is found; if we encounter a larger one then no other matches can be found in the rest of the array.

Java scanner count numbers that are in an interval

I'm new with java and i have to write a code that asks the user two numbers an interval. Then the user must introduce n numbers and the program must return how many numbers belong to that interval.
I've tried to do this and this is what i have:
import java.util.*;
public class NumsInter {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc;
int a,b,nums,count;
sc = new Scanner (System.in);
System.out.print ("Write two numbers a and b(a<=b)(interval): ");
a=sc.nextInt();
b=sc.nextInt();
count=0;
System.out.println("write a number: ");
while(sc.hasNextInt()){
nums=sc.nextInt();
if (a<=nums && nums>=b){
count= count + 1;
} else {
count= count;
}
}
System.out.println(count +" numbers are included in ("+a+","+b+")");
}
}
Example: If the user writes 2 and 6, and then 4,4,3,1 the output should be 3.
As I am a newbie i don't know how can i do this the good way, can someoen help?
PD: How can i break the loop so i can get the output?
Thank You!
Try something like this
ArrayList<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
System.out.println("Enter the numbers you want to test, enter 'stop' to stop");
boolean userInput = true;
while(input.hasNextInt() && userInput){
if(input.hasNext("stop")){userInput = false;}
numbers.add(input.nextInt());
}
Where you have a loop that checks if there is a next int while at the same time checking to see if the user is done or not.
And them something like this to print your answer
for(int i =0; i < numbers.size(); i++){
testNum = numbers.get(i);
if(testNum > lowerLimit && testNum < upperLimit){
count++;
}
}
System.out.println(count + " valid numbers have been entered!");
take an int [] no_between_max&min after take the input from user and store in this array. after that take a for loop and compare the value of array with max and min ant increase the count variable.
int noOfItem=sc.nextInt();
int [] no_between_max_min = new int[noOfItem];
for(int i=0;i<noOfItem;i++){
no_between_max_min[i]=sc.nextInt();
}
for(int i=0;i<no_between_max_min.length;i++){
if(no_between_max_min[i]>=a&&no_between_max_min[i]<=b){
count++;
}
}
