Thread: Reading text files and the calculating averages from it

Ok so i am working on an assingment where I have to read data from text file and the calculate the average of both classes in each major. There are two majors CS and Math and two scores listed for each major - the Math class score and the Java class score.

I got to the point where it reads every line of the data.txt file and the prints the data neatly by line.

Where i am stuck is , I have to figure out the averages of each Major and the classes seperately for each major.

the data.txt looks like this.

John Smith
CS
89
99
Jonathan Sou
MATH
78
98
James Scott
CS
78
87
Adam Brown
MATH
99
59
Peter Paulson
CS
78
100

here is my current code so far.

 
import java.io.File;       // for File
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;  // for Scanner
public class TEST 
{
	public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException
	{
		Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("data.txt"));
 
		String firstname, lastname;
		String major;
 
		while (input.hasNext()) 
		{
				firstname = input.next(); 
				lastname = input.next(); 
				major = input.next();
				double math = input.nextDouble(); 
				double java = input.nextDouble(); 
				System.out.println(firstname + " " + lastname + ", " + " " + major + ", " +  math + ", " + java); 
		}
 
		input.close();				
	}
}

CURRENT OUTPUT

John Smith, CS, 89.0, 99.0
Jonathan Sou, MATH, 78.0, 98.0
James Scott, CS, 78.0, 87.0
Adam Brown, MATH, 99.0, 59.0
Peter Paulson, CS, 78.0, 100.0

WHAT I NEED OUTPUT TO BE

John Smith, CS, 89.0, 99.0
Jonathan Sou, MATH, 78.0, 98.0
James Scott, CS, 78.0, 87.0
Adam Brown, MATH, 99.0, 59.0
Peter Paulson, CS, 78.0, 100.0
----- ---------- ----------
MATH Math AVG= 88.5 Java AVG= 78.5
CS Math AVG= 81.66666666666667 Java AVG= 95.33333333333333

Can someone point on the right path?

I had the output listed. I have edited to wrap the code. thanks

Where I am having issues wrapping my head around, is how do i tell it to look and add the scores that are listed on the lines for each major. Like how could i tell it to sum up and average the line that lists scores for CS Major and line that lists scores for the Math Major.
