Please Help, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I need to display all of the amounts that are greater than the average amount(which is $6.25). The section I am working on is at the bottom of the code(in bold).


public class PricesArray
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{



double[] prices = new double[20];



prices[0] = 6.25;
prices[1] = 7.85;
prices[2] = 3.21;
prices[3] = 3.31;
prices[4] = 8.50;
prices[5] = 9.37;
prices[6] = 4.23;
prices[7] = 8.37;
prices[8] = 9.68;
prices[9] = 1.99;
prices[10] = 2.04;
prices[11] = 3.66;
prices[12] = 8.83;
prices[13] = 4.91;
prices[14] = 3.00;
prices[15] = 7.84;
prices[16] = 5.98;
prices[17] = 2.09;
prices[18] = 6.00;
prices[19] = 7.00;

System.out.println("Sum of the prices Are:");

double sum = prices[0] + prices[1] + prices[2] + prices[3] + prices[4] + prices[5] + prices[6] +
prices[7] + prices[8] + prices[9] + prices[10] + prices[11] + prices[12] + prices[13] +
prices[14]+ prices[15] + prices[16] + prices[17] + prices[18] + prices[19];

System.out.print("Sum is:" + sum);




System.out.print("The prices under $5.00 are");

for(int i=0; i<prices.length; ++i)

{

if(prices[i]<5)

System.out.print(prices[i]+ " ");

}


System.out.print("The average price is");

double average;

sum = 0;

for(int i = 0; i < prices.length;i++)
{

sum += prices[i];

average = sum / prices.length;

System.out.println(prices[i]);

}


System.out.print("Prices higher than the average price are");

for(int i = 0; i < prices.length; ++i)

average = sum / prices.length;

{

if(average > prices[i])

System.out.println(prices[i] + " ");

}








}



}

[acp26b]

for(int i = 0; i < prices.length; ++i)

average = sum / prices.length;

{

if(average > prices[i])

System.out.println(prices[i] + " ");

}

To fix this problem, you just need to rearrange your code, see as follows.

average = sum / prices.length;
for(int i = 0; i < prices.length; ++i){

     if(average > prices[i]){
          System.out.println(prices[i] + " ");
     }
}

Yes using loops is the most easiest way to do it.
