    Default Printing the contents of my Array

    I am trying to get the contents of my Array into a variable that I can append to my text area. With the following code below, I only get the last value entered in the last column. Any suggestions?

    Java Code: 
    public class TutorEarnings extends javax.swing.JFrame{
//Instance Variable
    private double sessionMinutes; //tutor's session minutes
    private double sessionEarnings; //tutor's session earnings
    private double totalMin = 0.0; //total session minutes
    private double totalHr = 0.0; //total session hours
    private double totalEarn = 0.00; //total session earnings
    private double wage; //unformatted wage
    private double avgWage;  //tutor's average wage per hour
    private final double minWage = 7.25;//current national minimum wage per hour
    private String areaMessage; //message to be dispaly in Text Area
    String newline = "\n"; //carriage return
    String tab = "\t"; //tab space
    char dollar = '$'; //dollar sign
    char period = '.'; //period
    String ast = "*****************";  //report border
    double data[][] = new double[5][2]; //input data array
    int sessionRows = 0; //number of rows in the array
    String statement1 = new String("Raw Tutoring Earnings Data");
    String statement2 = new String("Report of your wages to Date:");
    String statement3 = new String("Total Minutes Spent Tutoring = ");
    String statement4 = new String("Total Earnings = ");
    String statement5 = new String("Average Per Hour Wage = ");
    String statement6 = new String("Minimum Wage is currently = ");
    String statement7 = new String("Your average wages per hour are ");
    String result; //result of analysis
    String prtData; //printed contents of the data array
    String sb1;  //first StringBuilder
    String sb1S; //converted String version of the first StringBuilder
    String sb2;  //second StringBuilder
    String sb2S; //converted String version of the second StringBuilder
 
    /**
     * Iterates through the data array, formats the output to the desired look,
     * and then stores the printed content to a variable
     * @return prtData
     */
    public String printArray(){
        for (int r=0; r < data.length; r++)
        {
            for (int c = 0; c < data[r].length; c++){
                System.out.print("Minutes: " + data[r][c]);
                
                prtData = Double.toString(data[r][c]);
            }
                
        }
        return prtData;
    }

   private void btn2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                     
       
        //Performing the required calculations for the report
        getMinTotal();
        getEarnTotal();
        getAvgWage();
        performAnalysis();
        printArray();
        
        //declaring and initializing the StringBuilders
        StringBuilder sb1 = new StringBuilder(ast + ast + ast + newline);
        StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder(ast + ast + ast + newline + newline);
        
        //Constructing the desired output for the JTextArea
        sb1.append(statement1 + newline);
        sb1.append(newline + prtData + newline);
                
        sb2.append(statement2 + newline + newline + statement3 + tab + totalMin);
        sb2.append(newline + statement4 + tab + dollar + totalEarn + newline);
        sb2.append(statement5 + tab + dollar + avgWage + newline + newline);
        sb2.append(statement6 + tab + dollar + minWage + newline + newline);
        sb2.append(statement7 + result + period);
        
        //converting the StringBuilders into the required String datatype
        sb1S = sb1.toString();
        sb2S = sb2.toString();
        
       //initializing the text area message variable and setting it to the tArea
        areaMessage = sb1S + newline + sb2S;
        tArea.setText(areaMessage);

    }

    Default Re: Printing the contents of my Array

    You are not appending the data to prtData, only replacing the previous contents.

    Try this:

    Java Code: 
     public String printArray() {
        for (int r=0; r < data.length; r++)
        {
            for (int c = 0; c < data[r].length; c++){
                System.out.print("Minutes: " + data[r][c]);
                prtData += Double.toString(data[r][c]); // this line was changed.
            }
        }
        return prtData;
}

    By trying your suggestion, I did get output but NULL was at the beginning the output. I made the following change in hopes of getting the output to look like a matrix and get rid of the NULL. I had no such luck.

    Java Code: 
    public String printArray(){
        for (int r=0; r < data.length; r++)
        {
            for (int c = 0; c < data[r].length; c++){
                System.out.println("%8d"+ data[r][c]);                
                prtData += Double.toString(data[r][c]);
            }
        }
        return prtData;
    }

    Please include the rest of the code because the problem may lie elsewhere.

    Default Re: Printing the contents of my Array

    Ok. Try this:

    Java Code: 
    public  String printArray(){
        String prtData = "";
        for (int r=0; r < data.length; r++)
        {
            for (int c = 0; c < data[r].length; c++){
                System.out.printf("%8.2f\n", data[r][c]);              
                prtData += Double.toString(data[r][c]);
            }
        }
         return prtData;
    }
    Note: I initialized the prtData to a an empty string (""). Before it was just an empty String object or (null).
    I also fixed the the print statement as you were mixing up println and printf syntax.
    Finally, I noticed in your call to printArray that you aren't using the returned value. You need something like this:

    Java Code: 
    String prtValue = printArray();
System.out.println(prtValue);

    Default Re: Printing the contents of my Array

    After making the following changes:

    Java Code: 
    public String printArray(){
        for (int r=0; r < data.length; r++)
        {
            for (int c = 0; c < data[r].length; c++){
                System.out.printf("%8.2f\n", data[r][c]);             
                prtData += Double.toString(data[r][c]);
         }
        }
         return prtData;
    }

private void btn2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                     
       
        //Performing the required calculations for the report
        getMinTotal();
        getEarnTotal();
        getAvgWage();
        performAnalysis();
        prtData = printArray();
        
        //declaring and initializing the StringBuilders
        StringBuilder sb1 = new StringBuilder(ast + ast + ast + newline);
        StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder(ast + ast + ast + newline + newline);
        
        //Constructing the desired output for the JTextArea
        sb1.append(statement1 + newline);
        sb1.append(newline + prtData + newline);
                
        sb2.append(statement2 + newline + newline + statement3 + tab + totalMin);
        sb2.append(newline + statement4 + tab + dollar + totalEarn + newline);
        sb2.append(statement5 + tab + dollar + avgWage + newline + newline);
        sb2.append(statement6 + tab + dollar + minWage + newline + newline);
        sb2.append(statement7 + result + period);
        
        //converting the StringBuilders into the required String datatype
        sb1S = sb1.toString();
        sb2S = sb2.toString();
        
       //initializing the text area message variable and setting it to the tArea
        areaMessage = sb1S + newline + sb2S;
        tArea.setText(areaMessage);

    }
    I get this output:

    ************************************************** *
    Raw Tutoring Earnings Data

    123.025.0145.025.0178.035.0185.035.0200.040.0

    ************************************************** *

    Report of your wages to Date:

    Total Minutes Spent Tutoring = 831.0
    Total Earnings = $40.0
    Average Per Hour Wage = $2.89

    Minimum Wage is currently = $7.25

    Your average wages per hour are below average.

    It's like it is not accepting my format parameters. Also my column totals for the earnings column ([r][1]) is not getting the right totals and that was working.

    Default Re: Printing the contents of my Array

    Where are you using format specifiers in the code above, other than in the printf statement (which shouldn't have \n present but rather should have %n for new lines)?

    Default Re: Printing the contents of my Array

    That was my printf statement. I still have a hard time remembering to use the %n since \n works, and has always worked on Unix and Windows (can't remember about Linux) Also, the JDK doesn't throw an IllegalFormat exception of any kind when specifying it this way. Nor is it flagged as an error when placed in strings (unlike other backslashed characters). But on the other hand, if you stick a %n in a regular old println statement, it prints %n!

    So I am assuming I have to format the contents in the variable?
