Thread: Loading array

Hey guys -

Alright, so for this assignment, we're "simulating" entering high temperature values into an array. The array is of size 32, and each index in the array corresponds to the day (hence why the a[0] is an invalid temperature).

Here's the code.

public static void loadManuel(int[] a) {
		int length = a.length;
		a[0] = 2043;
		for (int i = 1; i < length; i++) {
			System.out.print(i + " - ");
 
			a[i] = scanner.nextInt();
		}
 
	}

This code will work just fine, but sometimes when we're entering the temperature values we're supposed to "miss a day". What I'm wondering is, how do I make the code keep going even if there isn't data entered for that particular index?

Thanks

Right now, when I press the run button in Eclipse, it will start at number 1 and ask the user to enter an integer. If I press enter without entering anything, the program will quit. Since the teacher wants us to compute the average later on, I'd assume we want the value to be null since if we filled it with an invalid temperature that would affect the average.

The array size will stay the same.

The system.out.println(" - ") just means it'll put a dash. For example, if I enter 5 for a high at the date (index) 13, my result would look like "13 - 5".
