Q : Write a program that displays employ-ees and their total hours in decreasing order of the total hours

my working. . .
{I was not able to print the employee individual hours according to 'decreasing order' .How can i do that ?}

PHP Code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class EmployeeWeeklyHours {

    public static void main(String[] args){
        
        System.out.println("Enter employee weekly hours: ");
        int[][] employeeHours=employeeWeeklyHour();
        int[] storeEmployeeTotalHours =employeeTotalHours(employeeHours);
        
        System.out.println("\t\tSun\tMon\tTue\tWed\tThur\tFri\tSat");
        dispEmployeeWeeklyHoursFromHighest(employeeHours);
    }
    
    
    
    public static int[][] employeeWeeklyHour(){
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        int[][] employeeHours = new int[8][7];
        
        for(int i=0;i<employeeHours.length;i++)
            for(int j=0;j<employeeHours[i].length;j++)
                employeeHours[i][j]=(int) (51 + Math.random()*50); //input.nextInt();
        
        return employeeHours;
            
    }
    
    public static int[] employeeTotalHours(int[][] findTotalHours){
        int[] storeEmployeeTotalHours = new int[findTotalHours.length];
        
        for(int i=0;i<findTotalHours.length;i++)
            for(int j=0;j<findTotalHours[i].length;j++)
                storeEmployeeTotalHours[i] +=findTotalHours[i][j];
        
        return storeEmployeeTotalHours;
    }
    
    public static void dispEmployeeWeeklyHoursFromHighest(int[][] hoursPerWeek){
        for(int i=0;i<hoursPerWeek.length;i++){
            System.out.print("Employee "+i+" :\t");
          for(int j=0;j<hoursPerWeek[i].length;j++){
              System.out.print(hoursPerWeek[i][j]+"\t");
          }
          System.out.println();
        }
    }

} 


The way most Java programmers would use to do this is to user java.util.Arrays.sort(T[], Comparator<T>) to sort the employee/hours-worked array. I think you could use it on an int[][], but it's going to be ugly. You could create a class "EmployeeTotalHours" which implements Comparator<EmployeeTotalHours> and either sort an array of such objects or use a sorted collection like TreeSet or TreeMap which automagically 'sorts' as you add objects.

If you want to stick with a pure array solution, another option would be to iterate over your array picking out the 'largest remaining' each time as many times as there are entries. You'd have to keep a couple of extra pieces of data: the 'last largest' (so on the current iteration you print out the next employee's total which is not greater than the 'last largest', and also a way of flagging employees as already-printed to allow for the situation when two employees have the same total hours (one will be printed on one iteration, the other on the next iteration).

Good luck!

Hallo, the first paragraph i didn't understand anything maybe because i'm just novice. The idea of the array picking the largest remaining each time,and print out the corresponding employee hours struck my mind but i wasn't able to implement it...[please help me in implementation of this idea]

sorry for the late reply,. . .picking largest each time is what i find technical. I was thinking of using for loops and the largest total in each loop i print the corresponding employee hours

I am trying to authenticate a website in java applet. but it gives an error at this line :Authenticator.setDefault(new MyAuthenticator());

what is the solution, please help me


import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.InputStream;

public void init() {


}

static class MyAuthenticator extends Authenticator
{
public PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
{
// I haven't checked getRequestingScheme() here, since for NTLM
// and Negotiate, the usrname and password are all the same.
System.err.println("Feeding username and password for " + getRequestingScheme());
return (new PasswordAuthentication(kuser, kpass.toCharArray()));
}
}

public void paint(Graphics g) {

InputStream ins = url.openConnection().getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(ins));
String str;
while((str = reader.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(str);

//int s=2+2;

g.drawString("hello world", 50, 60 );
}

Thanks Norm... i am new to this forum.

If someone could PLEASE help me. I have been trying to figure this thing out for days.

It validates and everything works perfect so far. The only problem i'm having is the query plugin takes about 6 seconds to start sometimes and sometimes it starts right away when the page loads. I've set the timer for the banner for 6 seconds but that should only start AFTER the page loads. any thoughts or solutions on this would help...
