A 2 dimensional array could work, but i would say make a Team class, and store all of the info in there, such as the name, wins and losses. For multiple teams, have an array of your Team class. Then, maybe a function could compile stats and get some averages.
that help at all?

yea, so have a ravens class, steelers, etc with there own 2 dimensional array.

the most puzzling thing to me right now is how to sort them using the win pct. im totaly stuck

thanks

No. Have a single Team class, and give it a String name field. Then you can have a Team object with a name property of Ravens, another object with a name property of Steelers, etc...

You could have a Game class that holds two Team objects and stores their scores, and then perhaps a Season class that holds an ArrayList of Games. Each Team could also have an ArrayList of its own Games. The possibilities here are endless.

im still stuck getting started even with just making the tabel with it labeled as ravens, steelers, etc and entering in there wins and losses

Are you trying to just make a table using text or are you trying to use a JTable?

[ber1023]

just a table , iv never heard of JTable.

i just want to enter in the wins and losses for each team and then get the win pct and sort it in order

I have this 2 - dimensional integer array and would like to sort it on the basis of 2 nd column in asscending order.

int [][] 2d = { { 1, 13, 4 },
{ 2, 4, 7 },
{ 8, 3, 10},
{ 5, 0, 13},
{ 9, 8, 17} };


I tried using comparator but i suppose it is only for strings and I will have to convert the integer array to string which becomes tedious if the array size is large. All suggestions are welcomed . Thanks a ton
