need to input values from a text file into an array and count values

[pds8475]

hi guys im new to java and i need to input int from a text file into an array and count the values together
heres what i have got so far.
as you can see from the code below the array is called guestNumbers and the int i want to store is i3 then i want to add the values stored in guestNumbers and then divide the result by the length of guestNumbers

 Scanner cc = new Scanner( new File("CC.txt") );
          Scanner sn = new Scanner( new File("sn.txt") );
          Scanner ng = new Scanner( new File("gn.txt") );
          String line ;
          String line2 ;
          String line3 ;
          System.out.println("course code"+" " + "Student Number" +" "+"Number of guests");
          int count =1;
           guestNumbers = new double[count];
          while( cc.hasNext() && sn.hasNext() && ng.hasNext() ){
            line = cc.nextLine();
            line2 = sn.nextLine();
            line3 = ng.nextLine();
            
            
            int i=Integer.parseInt(line);
            int i2=Integer.parseInt(line2);
            int i3=Integer.parseInt(line3);
            
            System.out.println(i + "         " + i2 + "         " + i3);
count++;
 
    
  
        }

File fFile = new File("c:\\sld32" + ".txt");
fr = new int[272];
try {
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(fFile);
// Get the object of DataInputStream
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(in));
String strLine;
// Read File Line By Line
int i = 0;
while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
// Print the content on the console
// System.out.println (strLine);
fr[i] = Integer.parseInt(strLine.trim());
i++;
}
System.out.println("integer conversion done& value r in int");

}// try end
catch (Exception e) {// Catch exception if any
System.err.println("Error: xyz" + e.getMessage());
}

i think this will helpful!!!
Good luck!!

you declared

guestNumbers = new double[count];

when the count is 1. means your array is only 1 element? is that really what you want? If possible, use an ArrayList to store your data

[pds8475]

thanks i have altered the code to fit into my program but im just getting 0 from the array what seems to be happening is that the int i istnt coming out of the while loop so i is allways equal to 0 and the array in position 0 is also equal to 0

               File fFile = new File("gn.txt");
int[] fr = new int[272];
try {
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream(fFile);
// Get the object of DataInputStream
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(in));
String strLine;
// Read File Line By Line
int i = 0;
int t= fr[i];
while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
// Print the content on the console
// System.out.println (strLine);
fr[i] = Integer.parseInt(strLine.trim());
i++;


}
System.out.println("total = "+ t);

}// try end
catch (Exception e) {// Catch exception if any
System.err.println("Error: xyz" + e.getMessage());
}

hi javahater what im aiming at is the array guestNumbers to be the length of the number of lines in gn.txt does a list allow this and how would you implement it?

[JavaHater]

why did you change your code to use BufferedReader? Using Scanner is fine.

I myself would use an ArrayList. However for your case, I am assuming you are doing your homework and can't use ArrayList ?? here are some ways (which I don't like), but since you are learning only....
1) set an initial count to your array when you declare it
2) count the number of lines first, then you will know how many integers are there. then you can declare the array with that size. Then go through the file again..... ....

[pds8475]

well i was just trying to follow the example that baloda as close as posible

[pds8475]

i take it you meen some thing like this when you say count the number of lines first


int count=0;
while(ng.hasNext() ){
count=count++;
}
System.out.println(count);


my problem is that inside the while loop count may change but outside count stays the same

[baloda]

first check if ur file has enough elements i.e elements in more then one line

[pds8475]

it is at the moment the file has 4 lines users can input new lines and that side of the program is fully working i can output the lines to the screen which i do and that part works
but i cant get the counter to work to initilise the array guestNumbers

[baloda]

as far i can understand u can do like this
suppose

fr[i]=aaa;
then
guestNumbers [j]= i where guestName is aaa;

int count=0;
while(ng.hasNext() ){
count=count++;
}
System.out.println(count);

count++ is enough. No need to assign it back to count.

int count=0;
 while(ng.hasNext() ){
            count++;
  }
int guestNumbers = new int[count];

[pds8475]

right guys got the counter to work thanks now i just need to enter the values into the array

[pds8475]

right now i have this as you can see im outputting a element from the array to the screen but no matter what element i say to output what shows on screen is 1.0 this is the last element that the array should be holding but inbetween there are supposed to be 2 elements with different numbers

  Scanner cc = new Scanner( new File("CC.txt") );
          Scanner sn = new Scanner( new File("sn.txt") );
          Scanner ng = new Scanner( new File("gn.txt") );
          String line ;
          String line2 ;
          String line3 ;
          System.out.println("course code"+" " + "Student Number" +" "+"Number of guests");
         
          int lineCount = 0;  

 BufferedReader br2 = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("gn.txt"));  
 while ((line = br2.readLine()) != null) {  
 lineCount++;  
 } 
 System.out.println(lineCount);
double guestNumbers[] = new double[lineCount];
  
            
          while( cc.hasNext() && sn.hasNext() && ng.hasNext() ){
            line = cc.nextLine();
            line2 = sn.nextLine();
            line3 = ng.nextLine();
            
            
            int i=Integer.parseInt(line);
            int i2=Integer.parseInt(line2);
           double i3=Double.parseDouble(line3);
           
            System.out.println(i + "         " + i2 + "         " + i3);
          for(int c=0; c< lineCount; c++)
{
            guestNumbers[(c)]=i3;
}                      
    
         }
      
System.out.println(guestNumbers[0]);
System.out.println(guestNumbers[1]);
System.out.println(guestNumbers[2]);
System.out.println(guestNumbers[3]);
     
   
         cc.close();
        sn.close();
        ng.close();

my output from the program is

4
321 123321 1.0
321 654123 2.0
111 652145 3.0
324 545545 1.0
1.0
1.0
1.0
1.0

but should be

321 123321 1.0
321 654123 2.0
111 652145 3.0
324 545545 1.0
