Previous methods construct and fill a 2D double array with a size defined by user input. computeCategoryAverages takes the middle indexes, averages them, then puts them in the final index computeOverallAverage is then supposed to multiply the 0 index (weight) by the final index and store that number, then repeat till the rows end, adding each time.
Weight Grade1 Grade2 Grade3 Average
----------------------------------------
1| 3.0 456.0 4356.0 456.0 1756.0
2| 4.0 3456.0 674.0 34534.0 12888.0
3| 2.0 236.0 791.0 536.0 521.0
Example of what computeOverallAverage is supposed to do:
3.0 * 1756.0 = 5268
4 * 12888.0 = 51552
5268 + 51552= 56820
2 * 521= 1042
56820 + 1042 = 57862
computeCategoryAverages works flawlessly.
public static double[][] computeCategoryAverages(double[][] scoreArray){
for(int i = 0; i < scoreArray.length; i++){
double sum = 0;
int numOfAssign = 0;
double average=0.0;
System.out.printf("The Average for category:%d:",i+1);
System.out.println();
for(int j = 1; j < scoreArray[i].length-1; j++){
numOfAssign++;
sum = sum + scoreArray[i][j];
}
average = sum / numOfAssign;
scoreArray[i][scoreArray[i].length-1] = average;
}
return scoreArray;
}
The issues i'm having is with the computeOverallAverage, i'm not really sure how to make the arrays function properly with loops to multiply the columns and compound them with additiion.
// Compute the overall average
public static double computeOverallAverage(double[][] scoreArray){
double currentAverage = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < scoreArray[i].length-1; i++){
//(weightedAverage = average *weight);
double wAverage = scoreArray[i][scoreArray[i].length-1] * scoreArray[i][0];
currentAverage += wAverage;
}
return currentAverage;
}
in your for loop in
computeOverAllAverage
remote the index
scoreArray[i].length
scoreArray.length
= length of rowsscoreArray[i].length
= length of columnsin your for loop you want to loop for the rows.
