Class Expected error

[Radman23]

Looking for direction on how I can find a resolution to this error.

Line 39 returns the following error.
'.class' expected underTen = gallons[];


import java.io.*;
import java.util.Formatter;

public class Gallons
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{

double[] gallons = new double[10];
double sum = 0;
double underTen;

gallons[0] = 8.25;
gallons[1] = 6.85;
gallons[2] = 14.21;
gallons[3] = 13.51;
gallons[4] = 8.52;
gallons[5] = 9.37;
gallons[6] = 14.23;
gallons[7] = 7.36;
gallons[8] = 9.69;
gallons[9] = 2.98;

System.out.println("Average gallons:");

for(int i=0;i < gallons;i++)
{
sum = sum + gallons[i];
}

System.out.print("Sum is:" + sum);

for(int i=10;i < gallons;i++)

if(gallons[i] < 10.00);

{
underTen = gallons[];
}

System.out.println("Gallons under ten" + underTen);


}//close main()

}//close class

Working on basic programming to help understand arrays.
Thanks

Here:

if(gallons[i] < 10.00);
{
  underTen = gallons[];
}

are you missing an "i" array index? Should it be instead:

if(gallons[i] < 10.00);
{
  underTen = gallons[i]; // "i" goes here!
}

Also, when posting your code, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and be readable. To do this, you will need to paste already formatted code into the forum, highlight this code, and then press the "code" button at the top of the forum Message editor prior to posting the message. Another way is to place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:

[code]
  // your code block goes here.
  // note the differences between the tag at the top vs the bottom.
[/code]

Best of luck

in for loop , gallons.length should be used

and

if(gallons[i] < 10.00);  // why add ';' here?
{
  underTen = gallons[i];
}

and

for(int i=10;i < gallons.length; i++)  // i =10, then .... will it loop?

and

underTen is not initialized


and

System.out.println("Gallons under ten" + underTen);

you want to show only the last gallon under ten?

and

System.out.print("Sum is:" + sum);

should use println or print method?

[Fubarable]

what are your instructions here? what are you trying to calculate anyway?

[Radman23]

Thanks for the comment so far everyone.

The code was pasted from TextPad, missed the format code part before sending.

Learning to write code and was trying a "simple" task of taking set amount of fill ups at the gas pump (10 in this case) then returning the average gallons of the fill ups. Then show how many of those are over 10 gallons.

As my knowledge of Java increases would hope to allow user to input the values and return those results based on the input - for another day.

This may lead to creating a program to estimate the cost of fuel over a period of time.

Will take what has been given and will keep working on this. New to Java, and so far this is really cool. Wish I would have picked up on this years ago.

[Radman23]

Well this code runs and is close, knowing that the outcome is basic at best. Now to keep reading and coding to get this close to a usable program.

The gallons over 10 is just coded with [2] to pick the value, need to work on how to select the variables from the array that met the criteria requested.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.Formatter;

public class Gallons
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{

		double []gallons = {8.25, 6.85, 14.21, 8.51, 8.52, 9.37, 4.23, 7.36, 9.69, 2.98};
		double sum = 0;
		double overTen;

			for(int i=0; i<10; i++)

			{
				sum += gallons[i];
				}

				System.out.println("Sum is:" + sum); //Total gallons used

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

				if(gallons[i] > 10.00);

				{
					 overTen = gallons[2];
				 }

					System.out.println("Gallons over ten" + overTen);


    }//close main()

}//close class

[mtyoung]

is that means gallons only find 1 element > 10?

[Radman23]

Was attempting to gather any value that was over ten gallons.
The example shows that I selected the second element, just a way to return at least one value until I can figure this out.

Any direction or suggestions for a source to investigate?
Reading some comments online and eagerly awaiting the arrival of my Java for dummies.

Know there is a way to do this just not knowledgeable at this point.

Another question, can a user be allowed to enter a choice for selecting an element in the array, say for example the second row?

Thanks

[mtyoung]

as we do not know the number of gallons > 10, i suggest to use classes like Vector, Stock, LinkedHashSet etc to store the oversize gallons

row?

[Radman23]

Got me on that one. Bit over my head with the Vector and the others. Sorry you lost me at this point.

The elements in the array should be checked for a value greater than 10. Still trying to work on this part. Was thinking that a nested loop for statement might do the trick.

No luck with this yet still working on the problem.
Thanks for the advice, will Google these and see where this leads me.

[mtyoung]

you can initial another array(boolean or int as you like) with same length,
initial them with some value, if the gallons[i] > 10, anotherArray[i] update to some other value, finally, you loop the anotherArray, to get which gallons is > 10?

or you can use a int
if both gallons[1] and gallons[2] > 10, int update to 110
if both gallons[5] and gallons[2] > 10, 100100
by using % 10 to you check which gallon is > 10

above method can use on String too "110", "100100", using charAt to check position is 1 or 0 ...etc


allow you to select ...
you need to use InputSteamReader(example find in BufferReader class) or Scanner like class to get the input from users

Will give this a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
Should have thought to use the array to find the element.

Try to over engineer this at times and try to do more than required.

Like the streamer idea, will note this for version 2 of the program.
