My project has names and scores for 16 students in a class. A text file has their names and their lab/quiz scores. My question is trying to tie in the logic of coding to actual written code.
Example: We are asked to have parallel arrays storing student names, lab scores, quiz scores, project scores, and so on. Here is a snippet of what the text file looks like.
Line 1: Puckett, Karen
Line 2: 10 10 9.5 10 10 8 9.5 10 10 10 9 10 10 10 0
Line 3: 4 3 5 3 5 2 3 2 1.5 1 5 3.5
Line 4: 17.5 24 22 23.5 22 23
Line 5: 90 91
Line 6: 96
My underlying question is this: Line 2 consists of 15 lab scores. I want to set up an array to store only the average lab score for each of the 16 students. How can I calculate Line 2's average (sum/15) while I am reading from the file.
This was my attempt, which doesn't work, because I think my logic is somehow incorrect.
I don't think I can simply try to divide by 15 after the inputFile.nextDouble() command. Netbeans didn't flag it, but it also doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
*Note this is only partial code from a method.
