I'm having some difficulties trying to figure out how to implement a second array to calculate the averages of my marks program. I'm using 1 2D array to store the scores each student received on each assignment (5 students, 4 assignments). I have managed to get the Students average array working but when I go to calculate each individual assignment mark (combined total of the 5 students /5 ). I keep getting an Indexoutofbounds exception, Im very new to 2d arays and am still trying to figure out how to read them properly. Heres my code:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Marks
{
private String[] names;
private int[][] assignments;
private double[] stuAvgArray;
private double[] assignAvgArray;
public Marks()
{
names = new String[5];
assignments = new int[5][4];
stuAvgArray = new double[5];
assignAvgArray = new double[4];
}
public void getInput()
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter 5 student names: ");
for(int i = 0; i < names.length; i++)
names[i] = input.nextLine();
for(int row = 0; row < assignments.length; row++)
{
System.out.println("Enter the 4 marks for: " + names[row]);
for(int col = 0; col < assignments[row].length; col++)
{
assignments[row][col] = input.nextInt();
stuAvgArray[row] += assignments[row][col];
}
stuAvgArray[row] = (stuAvgArray[row]/4);
}
for (int col = 0; col < assignments.length; col++)
{
for(int row = 0; row < assignments[col].length; row++)
assignAvgArray[row] += assignments[row][col];
assignAvgArray[col] = (assignAvgArray[col]/5);
}
}
public String toString()
{
String output = ("Student \t\t\t Marks \t\t\t\t Average \n" +
"Name \t\t\t\t out of 10 \t\t\t out of 10 \n" +
"\t\t A1 \t A2 \t A3 \t A4");
for(int i = 0; i < assignments.length; i++)
{
output = output + "\n" + names[i];
for(int col = 0; col < assignments[i].length; col++)
{
output = output + "\t " + assignments[i][col] + "\t ";
}
output = output + "\t\t" + stuAvgArray[i];
output = output + "\n" + assignAvgArray[i];
}
return output;
}
}
i've bolded where java says the error is coming from. I am trying to read in, store, and then calculate for the array spots [[(0,0),(1,0),(2,0),(3,0),(4,0)],[(0,1),(1,1),(2,1),(3,1),(4,1)..etc]]
what Im trying to ask is how can I create a loop that doesn't give me this exception, storing all the values of each column into separate spots, and dividing each number stored in the new array by 5 to give me the average.
if there's anything else I can do to help you understand my problem please let me know.
PS: This is what It's supposed to look like;
Student Marks Average
Name out of 10 out of 10
A1 A2 A3 A4
Joe Smith 8 9 10 4 7.75
Tommy Jones 9 9 8 5 7.50
Sara Lee 0 10 10 9 7.25
Bob Fowler 10 9 9 0 7.00
Jane Doe 10 10 10 10 10.00
**Average 7.40 9.40 9.40 5.60**
I've calculated the row average but the bolded column average is giving me grief
