Program not executing array correctly

I'm having issues with executing a program that I have written. The program simply gets a user to input values whereby trying to guess a random number. I get to finding the median and the middle number but the program won't calculate them both. I need to use a insertion sort to be able to execute the median, but for some reason the program wont even do middle and median.

Could someone have a look at my code and what I'm doing wrong please! I only posted some of the code to try not to confuse people to much

Code:

The posted code does not compile. There is no way to execute and test it.

hopefully this helps

Please post the console from when you execute the program and add some comments to it describing what is wrong with the output and show what the output should be.

To copy the contents of the command prompt window:
Click on Icon in upper left corner
Select Edit
Select 'Select All' - The selection will show
Click in upper left again
Select Edit and click 'Copy'

Paste here.

What i want to happen when the inputs have been given to guess the random number is that ...

16 is the random number chosen by the program, its just for my benefit.

i want to print the array of unsorted numbers from the users guesses and find the middle element odd or even.

then i need to sort that array in another method using an insertion sort and then find the median number of those numbers even or odd.

Could you help!!


run:
16
Before:
null
After:

Oh lookee, a double post on SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...ray-in-program

Im in need of help ... not criticism ... and its asking a different question thankyou

The link to other posts is not criticism, it helps those trying to help - unpaid and in their spare time mind you - know about answers or discussions on the topic that have not been disclosed by you. Everyone's time is valuable, yours and ours - if we are all on the same page then things get done faster, and people don't spend their time rehashing the same question or providing answers to question that have already been answered.

It also lets other members here know that when you said

you weren't being honest about the fact that all of that wasn't your code.

Well it is 'my' code and i understand that peoples time and effort are going into this sort of thing which i appreciate and so do many ... but i find that more time has been spent on reflecting what i should have not been doing, instead of helping someone that asked for help ...

Your code is a mess. Too many global variables. You should pass and return values to methods vs using global variables. There are methods that only call another method. Why not call that method directly? Instead of calling a method that calls another method. Call both of the methods from the same location, one after the other.

Try debugging the code by adding lots of printlns to print out the values of variables as the are given values and used by the code. You need to see what variable have values and when they have values.

Thanks for that Norm .. will look at my coding again and sort it out !!! thank you
