problems with print statement

[soccer_kid_6]

The output that I want is this
The out put should look like this:
* The grade at index 0 is ___
* The grade at index 1 is ___
* The grade at index 2 is ___

 import java.util.Scanner;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
class Homework7
{
	public static void printArray(int[] print)
		{
			String sum = "";
		    for (int i = 0; i<print.length; i++)
		    {
   		   		sum = sum + print[i] + "\n";
			}
		 	JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The grade at index " + i + "is " + sum );
		}

	public static void main(String[] args)
		{
			Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
			int[] myGrades ;
			System.out.println("Enter number of Exams:");
				int numTests = scanner.nextInt();
			myGrades  = new int[numTests];
			System.out.println("The number of tests is: " + numTests);
		    for (int i = 0; i<myGrades.length; i++)
		    {
			   System.out.println("Enter Grades:");
			   myGrades[i] = scanner.nextInt();
		    }// end for loop
		    printArray(myGrades);
}
}

My code is not working and I can't get it to work the way i want it to print as i posted above is what i want while using a dialog box

If you want to use line breaks in a label (which is what you're doing when displaying a String in a JOptionPane) you need to use HTML tags (i.e. <BR> not \n).

if u want to sum all the grades that are integers,then y u have taken sum variable as string,

String sum = "";

moreover variable i wont be availabel outside loop, so u have to take ur option pane inside loop.

Uhm, he is simply concatenating the output lines in that loop. "sum" is simply a badly chosen word for the variable.

it seems he just want to format the output by line breaks and a all .. is that it ?

Sorry i was doing this late last night and didn't really care for variable names. My problem isnt the line breaks I just cant get method to print out this way.
The grade at index 0 is ___
The grade at index 1 is ___
all in one dialog box.
Anybody know the code?

And the problem there are the line breaks, as well as modifying the String concatenation in your for loop, rather than doing it in the JOptionPane statement.

im pretty sure all i have to do is use a loop i just can't get it to work

IOW not just

sum = sum + print[i] + "\n";

in the for loop, but

sum = sum + "starting string" + print[i] + "<BR>";
// or sum += ..... rather than sum = sum + .......

Like I said put the string concatenation in the for loop, not in the call to showMessageDialog.
