Need help with my 1st array program

[Phobos0001]

Hi again everyone,

ive been working through my textbook and i'm just starting off with arrays, however im having a little trouble getting the output how i want it to go.

the objective is to enter 5 intergers into an array and display the 5 intergers plus the sum of them added together in a dialog box, ive managed to do this in a terminal window however when i use dialog boxes i have a little issue with each element of the aray being displayed in a seporate box, i'm guessing ive messed up with my "for" loops or something, could someone tell me what ive done wrong or point me in the right direction please? here's what ive got so far...

Code:

import javax.swing.*;
public class ArrDone
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    final int NUMELS= 5;
    String s1;
    int i;
    int total = 0;
      // declare and allocate the array
    int numbers[] = new int[NUMELS]; // allocate the array
 
    for (i = 0; i < NUMELS; i++)    // Enter the grades
    {
      s1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a number: ");
      numbers[i] = Integer.parseInt(s1);
      total =  total + numbers[i];
      
    }
  

    for (i = 0; i < NUMELS; i++)     // Display and total the grades
    {
      
       
       JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"numbers entered where: " + numbers[i] + "\n" + "the sum of all numbers entered is: " + total,"message", 
                                    JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
       
    }
    
    System.exit(0);
  }
}

thanks in advance for any help, its greatly apriciated

Code:

    String digits = "";
    for (i = 0; i < NUMELS; i++)     // Display and total the grades
    {
      digits += numbers[i];
    }
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "numbers entered where: " + digits +
                           "\n" + "the sum of all numbers entered is: " +
                            total, "message", 
                            JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

i have one final question reguarding arrays,

on of the questions asks me to "write down apropriate notation for the first second and third elements of the following array int dist[15]"
from what i have managed to read all arrays default their element values to zero unless sepcified or untill assigned, is this an incorrect assumption?

thanks again for any help

all arrays default their element values to zero unless sepcified or untill assigned
This is true for arrays of primitive data types such as int, float, double, long. Each array element is given a default value; zero for those listed.
For objects (vis-a-vis primitives) such as Point, Rectangle, String the array elements are all null.
Each array element is accessed by the array index which starts at zero and goes up to array.length-1.
int[] n = new int[5];
Each element of this array has been initialized by java with the value zero. The elements are accessed as: n[0], n[1], n[2], n[3] and n[4].
String[] s = new String[3];
The array is allocated. Each element is null. You have to assign a value to each element.
For more on arrays you can try Arrays.
