Read binary files

[ronaldo121]

I am strugg

Write a program that reads a binary file of integers between 0 and 100, and prints:

the largest number in the file;
the smallest number in the file;
the average of all the numbers in the file.

The program should obtain the file name form the user (the command line).


Could someone please help with this?

I have this code!

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;



/** Demonstrate reading primitive type values from a binary file. */

public class BinInputFileApp

{

public static void main(String arg[]) {

File file = null;

int i_data = 0;

double d_data = 0.0;



// Get the file from the argument line.

if (arg.length > 0) file = new File(arg[0]);

if (file == null) {

System.out.println("Default: numerical.dat");

file = new File("numerical.dat");

}



try {

// Wrap the FileInputStream with a DataInputStream

FileInputStream file_input = new FileInputStream(file);

DataInputStream data_in = new DataInputStream(file_input);



while (true) {

try {

i_data = data_in.readInt();

d_data = data_in.readDouble();

}

catch(EOFException eof) {

System.out.println("End of File");

break;

}

// Print out the integer, double data pairs.

System.out.printf("%3d. Data = %8.3e %n", i_data, d_data);

}

data_in.close();

} catch(IOException e) {

System.out.println("IO Exception =: " + e);

}

} // main

} // class BinInputApp

I guess you posted example from:

Learning Java - Chapter 9 : Java

and that's fine. You could use other example and first WRITE those integers
to file, and after that you can use second example for reading.

So first write Writer with 100 randomly created int values from 0 to 100
(or even use byte or short primitive data types)
and later in reader use
i_data = data_in.readInt(); (or writeByte...)

While working on reading you have to:
read all numbers from file,
put them to some collection or int[] array
close file.

Now you write 3 small methods using that collection or int array[] for:
the largest number in the file;
the smallest number in the file;
the average of all the numbers in the file.
That is very basic stuff.

it's easy...

got this code and now i have the .dat file which has 100 values

double [] d_data = new double[99];
// and fill them
for (int i=0; i < i_data.length; i++) {
i_data[i] = i;
d_data[i] = ran.nextDouble () * 10.0;
}

File file = null;
// Get the output file name from the argument line.
if (arg.length > 0) file = new File (arg[0]);
// or use a default file name

System.out.println ("Default: numerical.dat");

// Now write the data array to the file.
try {

Now i need to read the largest number, smallest number and average number in that file?


Can someone please help as i am new to this java and not sure

i know the method for average would be sum of intergeRs divded by amount of intergers i.e 100

Can you please take a paper and write down the logic, how find the maximum number from set of numbers. Take 4 numbers to take a start. Then can you please show what you have written there in the paper.
