Array method problem

[insanepenguin]

Hi guys, I'm new to methods and having a problem passing the results of an array to a display method, the simple program is to enter four saving account balances and return the array + the fixed rate bonus.

I can use display methods with single variables, it's displaying the array that is throwing me!

here's the code:

Many thanks!

import java.util.Scanner;

class SaverMethods
{
	public static void inputNums(double[] bal)
	{
	Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

		for(int x = 0; x < 4; x++)
		{
		System.out.println("Input four savers balances");
		bal[x] = input.nextDouble();
		}
		
	}	
	public static double[] calcBonus(double[] bal)
	{
		Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
		double bonus;
		System.out.println("Please enter the percentage bonus");
		bonus = input.nextDouble();
		double total = 0, temp = 0;
		
		for(int x = 0; x < 4; x++)
		{
		temp = (bal[x] * bonus) / 100;
		total = bal[x] + temp;
		
		}
		return bal;
	}
	
	public static void displayTotal(double[] sortedList);
	{
		for(int x = 0; x < 4; x++)
		System.out.println(sortedList[x]);
	}
	
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{

	double[] balance = new double[4];
	inputNums(balance);
	balance = calcBonus(balance);
	displayTotal(balance);
	}
}

well you have 1 logic and 1 syntax error in your program:

1st one:

public static void displayTotal(double[] sortedList);

you need to get rid of the semicolon at the end of this method declaration.
Secondly, look at this loop of yours below:

		for(int x = 0; x < 4; x++)
		{
		temp = (bal[x] * bonus) / 100;
		total = bal[x] + temp;
		
		}

at what point are you updating the bal[x] indexes to store the updated balances? you should have the third statment in body of loop something like

 bal[x] = temp + total;

Thanks a lot f1gh can't believe I missed that semi colon!

You were right about the loop too, needed to add bal[x] = total to output the new balance on each iteration.

At least I almost correct in returning the array to the main method!
