help...! about reading a text file and finding their average

[nemesis]

i am new to java.. can please help me find the solution of this problem.. i am studying for our removal this oct.21 can you please help me find this out so that.. i have enough(i think) knowledge if i encounter this problem again...

so sir this is the input of my textfile..

Jin Kazama 74 75 77 78 79
Kazuya Mishima 70 72 73 74 75
Lei Wulong 90 89 73 67 89

and this is my java code...

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.*;
public class ScoreAverager
{
//default constructor
public ScoreAverager implements ()
{
}
//method to read the file, average the grades, and print the new file
//an IO exception is thrown if the file can't be read or a new file cannot be written to
public void gradeAvg() throws IOException

{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
double sum = 0;
int count = 0;
double classAverage = 0;
String currentClass = null;
File inFile = new File("C:\\Users\\Nemesis\\Desktop\\grade.txt");
PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(new File("C:\\Users\\Nemesis\\Desktop\\grades1.txt"));
try
{
input = new Scanner(inFile);
while(input.hasNext())
{
currentClass = input.next();
int var1 = input.nextInt();
while(var1 != -9999)
{
sum += var1;
count++;
var1 = input.nextInt();
}
classAverage = sum/count;
System.out.println(currentClass);
System.out.println(classAverage);
output.println("Class : " + currentClass);
output.println("Class Average: " + classAverage);
output.println();
}
}

catch (IOException e)
{
System.out.println(e);
System.exit(0);
}
finally
{
output.close();
// input.close();
}
}
;
}

error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
Exception in thread "main"
Process completed.

:confused::confused::confused::confused:

[Fubarable]

so where is the main method?

[Eranga]

Main method is the entry point of the Java application like this. So you have to define it and start execution from there.

Even though without the main method can you compile this code. Before run you have to compile it. I'm wonder how did you get this error. There are lots of errors I can see on your code.

i got it.. i have my new code.. but i still have a new problem.. is how to sort their grades.. btw.. this is my new code

/**

int num,count=0;
double tot=0;

double sum = 0;
double sort[]=new double[num];

}
}
System.out.println("\n\nSorted Grades");
System.out.print("-----------------------------\n");



Arrays.sort(sort);
for(int i=0;i<sort.length;i++)

}

System.out.println();

[Supamagier]

use code tags. [code][/ code] (without spaces)

[Norm]

I see the sort method being called in your code. Is the results of that correct?
If not, can you explain.

[Eranga]

You mean sorting the array? Can you explain it more. To sort an array, there are lots of approaches.

[nemesis]

there is no error here.. but sir.. you can see that the code sort their average.. hmm.. how can i sort by their grades? hmm

[Norm]

how can i sort by their grades?

What would be the results of that sort?
The student(s) with the highest grade first. It would be possible for all of the students to have one of their grades be the highest grade and also the lowest grade. Say they all got 100 on one test and they all got 0 on another. How would they sort?

[nemesis]

ascend sir.. thanks for the time.. ^^

[Eranga]

Are you stuck on how to sort with the average grade and find what's name belongs to, is it?

[nemesis]

yes, i dont know how to sort the grades of each names.. hmm help please

[Eranga]

Before that you have do a lot in your code. Start from the beginning. The way you are work out to read the file is incorrect. Basically input is mismatch there. Better to fix it first.

[Norm]

Are you asking how to sort the grades for a student?
Where do you store the grades when you read them into the program? If they are in some kind of collection like an array, then you need to have a sort routine to sort the contents of that collection.

[nemesis]

in the console.. do you have any codes?

[Norm]

in the console..

What does that mean?

[Eranga]

in the console.. do you have any codes?

Can you clearly explain what you really want to know.

[nemesis]

here sir.. i want to sort their different grades.. then compile it in the java console.. and run.. jejE sorry just a beginner in java.. jejE

[Norm]

then compile it in the java console

What does that mean?
You compile a java source program with the java command.
The java console is where the browser displays STD output from the jre.
Are you asking how to output the results of the sort to the console?
Use the System.out.println() method to put output on the console.

[nemesis]

i got it now.. thanks for the dude sir.. and others.. ^^ so this case is closed.. haha
