[aconti]

Hello,

how can I let user input 5 numbers and store them automatically in an array ?

Thanks !

hi,

in the tutorials I have seen I only saw how to create arrays and manually give them values but nowhere in the examples there was how to make a user input become a value in an array. I am completely stuck since I know how to create arrays and Input messaged but I do not know how to integrate both so that the entered data goes to the array

A lot will depend on how you plan to have the user enter data. Will they say be entering 5 numbers separated by a space on one line? Will they be entering each number individually on its own line? Will they be using a console program or a GUI? or JOptionPane?

If a console program with each number on its own line then what steps do you think you should do? I'll bet that you can work most of this out given what you already know. :)

Hint: a for loop works quite well with arrays since you can loop from 0 to the array's length and then fill in the array element inside of the loop.

unfortunately is much easier said than done, I would appreciate if you can give me a link to get a better idea from someone who did something similar

No, it is almost as easily done as said. At least try, then, if you can't, post your attempt and we will help you correct it.
