parallel arrays

[belfast09]

could somebody please tell me where im going wrong with my code to put grades beside student name i really need some help many thanks ive stuff commented out


code

public class arrays {





public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] students = new String [8];
int[][] grades = new int[8][2];
String tmpStr;
int tmpInt;

students[0] = "Smith";
students[1] = "Jones";
students[2] = "Thompson";
students[3] = "Paul";
students[4] = "Jodan";
students[5] = "Cole";
students[6] = "Dunn";
students[7] = "Nolan";

grades[0][0] = 88;
grades[1][0] = 78;
grades[2][0] = 81;
grades[3][0] = 65;
grades[4][0] = 92;
grades[5][0] = 87;
grades[6][0] = 80;
grades[7][0] = 84;

grades[0][1] = 88;
grades[1][1] = 78;
grades[2][1] = 81;
grades[3][1] = 65;
grades[4][1] = 92;
grades[5][1] = 87;
grades[6][1] = 80;
grades[7][1] = 84;


grades[0][2] = 88;
grades[1][2] = 78;
grades[2][2] = 81;
grades[3][2] = 65;
grades[4][2] = 92;
grades[5][2] = 87;
grades[6][2] = 80;
grades[7][2] = 84;

// Arrays.sort(students);
// Arrays.sort(grades);
// for(int t=0, t<students.length,-1 t++)
// for(int i=0, i<students.length,-1 i++)
// if(students[i].compareTo(students+1)>0){
// tmpStr = students[i];
// tmpInt = grades[i];
// students[i] = students[i+1];
// grades[i] = grades[i+1];
// students [i+1] = tmpStr;
// grades[i+1] =tmpInt;
// }
//
//// print students
int t;
int i;
for(i=0, i< students.length, i++){
System.out.printf(%s - 15s %s* students[i]);
int intSum = 0;
double avgGrad;
for(t=0, t<grades[i].length,t++){
System.out.print(grades[i][t] + " ");
intSum += grades[i][t];
}
int avgGrade = double / intSum;
grades[i].length;
System.out.println( "%5s %s \n" ",grades[i);
}
// }

}
}

Read my blog on this forum about sorting parallel arrays (using a Heapsort implementation). b.t.w. trying to sort parallel arrays is bad design from the old Fortran world ...

thanks how di find it

As Jos says, parallel arrays is bad design. You really should create a Student class that contains names and grades, and create just one array of Students.
