get the average and maximum score

[Eric]

Hello, I can get the average and maximum score on this example:

Code:

import java.util.Arrays;

public class ArrayDemo1 {
public static void main(String args[]) {
double scores[] = {84.2,76.4,92.0,98.9,81.3};

System.out.println("The scores are:");
for (int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++) {
System.out.println(scores[i]);
}
}
}

Thanks.

Well, how would you find the average of several numbers if you weren't programming?

I find that it is useful to write out what you'd want to do in words rather than code and then turn that into code.

Hi, thanks a lot your comments , i know i can get the average by adding all these numbers and divide them by 5:

average=(84.2+76.4+92.0+98.9+81.3)/5
and the maximum number is 96.8 but i want to know how can i code them
as an arrays and ask java to calculate them and print the result.


Thanks.
