    Default Noob needs a bit of help

    Evening all.

    Need a bit of help with some code im trying to sort for college.

    Now, go easy on me, im new to all this stuff

    I need a for- if statement to determine which month in a year has the highest levels of rainfall, but i can figure out whats wrong with this

    It also needs to do it for minimum but ill be able to sort that once i figure out this one

    Heres the code

    public static void maximium (double[] months)
    {
    int highpos;
    (highpos)=0;
    for (int i = 1; i<11; i++)
    if (months[i]> months [highpos]
    {
    highpos=i;
    }


    Thats not it all, thats just the relevant section.

    Tanks in advance

    Chris

    You need to help us out by telling us what's wrong with it. Does it compile? Exception? Misbehave? Please see the link in my signature entitled "Getting Help"

    As i said, noob lol.

    It runs the first part of the program, but once it reaches that bit of code, it just stops?? If that makes sense??

    There are several types of "stops". Does the program print an error message and exit.
    Does the program spin in a loop requiring you to do something to have it end.

    Can you explain what happens?

    thats just the relevant section.
    How do you know what part of the program is the relevant section?

    Im writing this in eclipse and it shows where the errors come up, but i dont know what they are. It doesnt print an error message.

    This part of the code was put in between 2 other bits, both of which were working before. Now it stops at this for statement??

    What does the error say?? The errors help you know what's wrong with your code. But we need to know exactly.

    And I again recommend reading the Getting Help link in my signature. Things like being as descriptive as possible, posting full error messages, and posting an SSCCE will help us all get on the same page, and will help you receive help.
