Question

The java program prompts the user to interactively enter eight batting averages, which the program stores in an array. The program should then find the minimum and maximum batting average stored in the array as well as the average of the eight batting averages.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class BattingAverage
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
  Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
  // Declare a named constant for array size here.
       

  // Declare array here.

  // Use this integer variable as your loop index.
  int loopIndex;

  // Use this variable to store the batting average input by user.
  double battingAverage;

  // String version of batting average input by user.
  String averageString;

  // Use these variables to store the minimim and maximum batting averages.
  double min, max;

  // Use these variables to store the total and the average.
  double total, average;

  // Write a loop to get batting averages from user and assign to array.

  
     System.out.println("Enter a batting average: ");
  
     averageString = s.nextLine();
     battingAverage = Double.parseDouble(averageString);
     // Assign value to array.
    
  
  // Assign the first element in the array to be the minimum and the maximum.
  min = averages[0];
  max = averages[0];
  // Start out your total with the value of the first element in the array.
  total = averages[0];
  // Write a loop here to access array values starting with averages[1]
  
     // Within the loop test for minimum and maximum batting averages.
    
     // Also accumulate a total of all batting averages.
    
  
    
  // Calculate the average of the 8 averages.
  

  // Print the averages stored in the averages array.
  
  // Print the maximum batting average, minimum batting average, and average batting average.
  
  System.exit(0);

}
}

Explanation / Answer

I have implemented the code as per your requirement and added comments for more readability of code.

Code:

---------------

import java.util.Scanner;

public class BattingAverage

{

public static void main(String args[])

{

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);

int size = 8;

double averages[] = new double[size];

int loopIndex=0;

double battingAverage;

String averageString;

double min, max;

double total, average;

System.out.print("Enter a batting average: ");

averageString = s.nextLine(); //Reading averages

String avgs [] = averageString.split(" "); //Splitting averages using space as delimiter

while(loopIndex<size){

battingAverage = Double.parseDouble(avgs[loopIndex]); //coverting string to double

averages[loopIndex] = battingAverage; //Assigning to array

loopIndex++;

}

min = averages[0];

max = averages[0];

total = averages[0];

loopIndex=1;

while(loopIndex<8){

if(min<=averages[loopIndex]){ // finding minimum

min = averages[loopIndex];

}

if(max >= averages[loopIndex]){ //finding maximum

min = averages[loopIndex];

}

total = total+averages[loopIndex];

loopIndex++;

}

average = total/8;

// Printing the maximum batting average, minimum batting average, and average batting average.

System.out.println(" Maximum = "+ max +" Mininmum = "+min+" Average = "+average);

System.exit(0);

}

}
