Thread: Printing Output from an array in a gui form.

I'm using Netbeans to creat a Java Swing Gui form. I'm stuck creating output in an array that will print out in a text area box.

 
       double tutorArray [] [] = new double [4][2];
       int counter;
       int i  = 0;
       int j = 0;

The user inputs two values at a time and then presses the enter button:

 
 double salary = Double.parseDouble (salaryTextField.getText ());
       double week = Double.parseDouble (wagesTextField.getText ());
 
       try
     {
         {if (minutes <= 0 || minutes > 4500|| wages <= 4) 
          throw new IllegalArgumentException ();
          }
    }                                           
      catch (IllegalArgumentException exception)
      {
       dataTextArea.setText("Invalid input.  Please try again.");
       return;
      }
 
        dataTextArea.setText("");
        tutorArray [counter] [0] = salary;
        tutorArray [counter] [1] = weeks;
        counter++;
         for (int i = 0; i <= 4 ; i++){
          for (int j = 0; j <= 2; j++) {
             String line = String.format ("%2d", tutorArray[i][j]);
             dataTextArea.append (line);
          counter++;     
          }
       }

3. Once the user finishes entering his information, a 2d Array should be generated when he presses the "run report" button:

 private void runReportButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                                
        // TODO add your handling code here:
    }

I have tried multiple times to write the code for a 2d array that has 4 rows and two columns containing the information entered by the users - minutes and wages.

Any pointers?

What is in the array after the code assigns values to it?
Use the Arrays class's deepToString() method to format the array for printing:

System.out.println("an ID "+ java.util.Arrays.deepToString(theArrayName));

Can you explain what the code does and what it is not doing that you want it to do?
Obviously this needs to be replaced with some code:
// TODO add your handling code here:
