Array help counting # of grades
It's a lot like other programs already posted, but not quite--I promise I searched! The program calcs the sum, the average, the highest and lowest score. I have no problems with that. BUT it supposed to also tell me how many scores were 90 or above, 80 to 90, 70 to 80. That's the problem I'm having. I know the code is ugly, but I don't really know what to do with it. Any help is really appreciated:)
Java Code:public class Chp8Assign1 { public static void main (String [] args) { int myArray[] = new int[args.length]; //for loop to convert String args array to integer myArray for(int a=0; a<args.length;a++) { myArray[a]=Integer.parseInt(args[a]); } int sum = 0; int largest = myArray[0]; int smallest = myArray[0]; int gradeA = 0; //variable for grades 90-100 int gradeB = 0; //variable for grades 80-90 int gradeC = 0; //variable for grades 70-80 int gradeD = 0; //variable for grades 60-70 int gradeF = 0; //variable for grades below 60 int aGrade=0; //to count number of gradeA int bGrade=0; //to count number of gradeB int cGrade=0; //to count number of gradeC int dGrade=0; //to count number of gradeD int fGrade=0; //to count number of gradeF for(int i=0;i<myArray.length;i++) //loops through the array to sum, find largest number, then smallest, then check for number of A's, B's, etc. { sum=sum+myArray[i]; if(myArray[i]>largest) largest = myArray[i]; if(myArray[i]<smallest) smallest = myArray[i]; if((myArray[i]>=90)&&(myArray[i]<=100)) //checks for grading gradeA=aGrade; if((myArray[i]>=80)&&(myArray[i]<90)) gradeB=bGrade; if((myArray[i]>=70)&&(myArray[i]<80)) gradeC=cGrade; if((myArray[i]==60)&&(myArray[i]<70)) gradeD=dGrade; if(myArray[i]<60) gradeF=fGrade; }//end of for System.out.println("The sum is " + sum); System.out.println("The average is " + sum/myArray.length); System.out.println("The largest number is " + largest); System.out.println("The smallest number is " + smallest); System.out.println("Thenumber of students with scores of 90-100 (A) is " + aGrade++); System.out.println("The number of students with scores of 80-90 (B) is " + bGrade++); System.out.println("The number of students with scores of 70-80 (C) is " + cGrade++); System.out.println("The number of students with scores of 60-70 (D) is " + dGrade++); System.out.println("The number of students with scores below 60 (F) is " + fGrade++); }//end of main }//end of programLast edited by speaknspell; 04-16-2009 at 10:00 PM.

can you please comment your code to say what each portion is supposed to do? i just see a whole bunch of setting variables to be 0.

you need a counter to keep track of the number of students. What you're doing now is just setting the last student to get that grade as gradeA, gradeB etc. try
and print out gradeD instead of gradeD++Java Code:if((myArray[i] >= 60) && (myArray[i] <70)){ gradeD++; }Liberty has never come from the government.
Liberty has always come from the subjects of government.
The history of liberty is the history of resistance.
The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it.
