Method- error?

[katiebear128]

Create a method called countZeros, which takes an integer array as an input parameter and returns the number of zero entries in the array.

Example:
data:{0, 6, 7, 0, 5, 9, 0} ==> 3

public int countZeros (int [ ] data) 
{
  int count=0;
  for(int j=0;j<data.length;j++){
    if(data[j]==0){
      ++count;}
    return count;
  }
}
}

It keeps saying the system has detected compilation errors, but I'm just not seeing them.

move the return count to the end of your method and count your brackets ;D

Your "return count;" statement is located in the for-loop; move it to the location where the loop has finished. Also, remove that last right curly bracket (and put your brackets in a more prominent place).

kind regards.

public int countZeros (int [ ] data)
{
  int count=0;
  for(int j=0;j<data.length;j++)
{
    if(data[j]==0)
      ++count;
}
return count;
}

Its outside of the for loop now, right? What am I doing wrong?

public int countZeros (int [ ] data) 
{
  int count=0;
  for(int j=0;j<data.length;j++)
  {
    if(data[j]==0)
    {
      ++count;
    }
  }
  return count;
}
  }

for some reason on my teacher's site it still says compilation error...

From the code you have shown us there is one right curly bracket too many (count them).

Can you tell us the whole error message? Also, what happens when you compile it on your own box?

[katiebear128]

Thanks for all the help! I got rid of the last curly bracket, then logged out and back into my teacher's site, which fixed the problem...the site usually has issues, unfortunately..
