Monitor Disc Head Using Java

Pls help me to write a code for this appli. . I am new to java and have to do this program soon.
Your program should follow the following algorithm:
a) You are given a starting point for the disk head. (100)
b) You will read a set of values representing the position of the disk head and place it in a table representing the trace of disk head movement during the retrieving process.
c) For each disk head position read, calculate the number of tracks traversed
d) At the end of your program, you should calculate the average tracks seek length which is the sum of the total number of traversed tracks.
e) Your program should create an output file “output_lab3.txt” containing a table with 2 columns:
a. First column: the value of the head position read
b. Second column: The corresponding value of the number of traversed tracks.
c. The last row of the table should have the average value of the number of traversed tracks.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm afraid all you've done is post your assignment verbatim without showing that you've done any work. Many here will assume that by doing this you wish to have someone else do your work for you, and they will avoid helping your or answering your questions.

I will assume that this is not what you intended with this post and will suggest that to increase your chances of getting help here you show us what you've done and then ask more specific questions regarding problems with your code.

Again welcome, and much luck!

OK, so we now know that you can copy code from the internet, specifically here: http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/...-give-out.html.

I recommend that you have a look here: So, You Need to Write a Program but Don't Know How to Start. It's a very well written article, trust me.

Again, much luck.

This is the closest i can go ,pls




public class mylist {

public static void main(String args [] ) {
int [] a = { 100,98,183,27,132,14,124,65,67 } ;
int [] y = { 98,183,27,132,14,124,65,67, 00 } ;

System.out.println ("Access Request # Tracks Transversed" );
for
( int i=0 ;i<=a.length-1 ; i++ )
for
( int j=0; j<=1 ; j++ )
{
if
(j==0)

{ System.out.println ( a[i] );

}
if (j==1)
{
System.out.println( a[i] - y[i]);
}
}

}
}

First off, use [code][/code] tags around your code so we can read it.

Secondly, you do not need two arrays to calculate the values in this problem, you only need the starting array and an array to store the differences. Everything else can be calculated on the fly.

Finally, have you done this on paper step by step? The MUST be your first step before trying to think of any code. Once you have designed al algorithm by hand on paper in a human-readable (pseudo code if you like) way, then and only then try to code it.

Lastly, if I understood the assignment correctly, your output should look something like this ?
