Really need help with an Array problem

[ndsmith20]

Need to get a GPA from the amount of courses I enter

GPA class:

 import java.util.*;

   public class GPA
   {
      private int points;
      private double credits;
      private String grade;
      private double totalPoints;
      private double totalCredits;
      private double gpa;
      private int numCourses;
      private int maxCourses;
   
   	

      public GPA()
      {
         points = 0;
         credits = 0;
         totalCredits = 0;
         totalPoints = 0;
         grade = "";
      }
   
      public GPA(int courses)
      {
         numCourses = courses;
         maxCourses = numCourses;
         points = 0;
         credits = 0;
         totalCredits = 0;
         totalPoints = 0;
         grade = "";
      }
   
public void addCourse(int cr, String gr)
      {	
         int i = 0;
			int [] sumCredits = new int [numCourses];
      	int [] sumPoints = new int [numCourses];
              do{
         sumCredits[i] = cr;
         grade = gr;
         if((grade.equals("A"))||(grade.equals("a")))
         {
            points = 4;
         }
         else if((grade.equals("B"))||(grade.equals("b")))
         {
            points = 3;
         }
         else if((grade.equals("C"))||(grade.equals("c")))
         {
            points = 2;
         }
         else if((grade.equals("D"))||(grade.equals("d")))
         {
            points = 1;
         }
         else if((grade.equals("F"))||(grade.equals("f")))
         {
            points = 0;
         }
         else
         {
            points = -1;
         }
         sumPoints[i] = points;
			i++;
      	
                 
      	}
			while(i < numCourses);
			for (int k = 0; k < sumCredits.length; k++) 
         { 
            totalCredits += sumCredits[k]; 
         } 
         for(int h = 0; h < sumPoints.length; h++)
         {
            totalPoints += sumPoints[h];
         }

      
      }
   
      public double calcGPA()
      {
			 
         gpa = totalPoints/totalCredits;
         return gpa;
      }

import java.util.Scanner;

public class GpaTestEx2
{

	public static void main (String[] args)
	{
		//declarations
		Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); //input object
		int numCourses;	//number of courses - can be changed
		int credits;		//number of credits for a course
		String grade;		//grade for course
		
		
		//read in number of courses
		System.out.print("Enter number of courses: ");
		numCourses = in.nextInt();
		
		//create Gpa object to hold specified number of courses
		GPA myGPA = new GPA(numCourses);
				
		//read in all courses and add course information to Gpa object
		for (int k=0; k<numCourses; k++)
		{
			System.out.print("Enter credits for course " + (k+1) + ": ");
			credits = in.nextInt();
			System.out.print("Enter grade for course " + (k+1) + ": ");
			grade = in.next();
			
			myGPA.addCourse(credits, grade);
		}
		
		//print results
		System.out.println();
		System.out.printf("GPA is %4.2f%n", myGPA.calcGPA( )); 

	} //end main
}

Enter number of courses: 2
Enter credits for course 1: 4
Enter grade for course 1: a
Enter credits for course 2: 3
Enter grade for course 2: b

GPA is 1.00


I keep on getting a GPA of 1.00 back instead of 3.57

I think the issue is when i enter the data it reset i to 0 everytime just replacing the info in slot 0 of my array...is there any way to fix this?

[Kagiso]

how do you calculate GPA?what's the formula?
because, when i use the test data you've given it tells me that totalPoints is equal to seven and totalCredits is also equal to seven.

try rewriting the addCourse() method and make it shorter because that's where the confusion lies

[ndsmith20]

I see what your saying...i have a mistake in my adding of the points...GPA is the sum of points divided by sum of credits. Sum of points is credits for that course times points for that course(the part i forgot to put in my program)

Its working now...i dont know why i didnt see that...thank you
