Creating an Array

Back to the Program-A-Day homepage

Problem There are ten students with ten grades. Instead of storing every single grade in a single variable it is easier to store this information in an array. Given that the grades are 56%, 34%, 75%, 89%, 78%, 87%, 71%, 67%, 98%, 85%, store the grades in an integer array as percents and convert them to decimals and store them in a double array.

Solution First create the skeleton structure of your program public class CreatingArray{ public static void main(){ } } Next, the two arrays to be used are integer and double, so we need to create the variables that will store these arrays. int[] intArray; double[] decimalArray; These will go inside the main program. Now a new array must be created, this is done with the new keyword. intArray = new int[10]; decimalArray = new double[10]; The 10 specifies the size of the array that you want to create. Now we will need to store the values inside
Code Solution Code public class Creating{ public static void main(String[] args){ int[] intArray = {56, 34, 75, 89, 78, 87, 71, 67, 98, 85}; double[] decimalArray = {0.56, 0.34, 0.75, 0.89, 0.78, 0.87, 0.71, 0.67, 0.98, 0.85}; } }
