Thread: I need help for my code...

Hello fellas.. I have a homework, but I don't know how to start with it.. I have a plan how to do some methods but I can't do them without these stuff that I don't know how to make. Anyone pls help. Here is the homework document.

Assignment08J.pdf

I need help for the constructor and first two methods (getScores and setScores)!

Thank you.

public class ExamScores
{
    private int scores;
    private boolean isSorted;
 
 
 
    public void sort()
    {
        if(isSorted) 
        {
            return;
        }
 
        int temp = 0;
 
        for(int i = 0; i < scores.length - 1 && !isSorted; i++)
        {
            isSorted = true;
 
            for(int j = 0; j < scores.length - i - 1; j++)
            {
                if(scores[j] > scores[j + 1])
                {
                    temp = scores[j + 1];
                    scores[j + 1] = scores[j];
                    scores[j] = temp;
                    isSorted = false;
                }
            }
        }
    }
 
 
}

public class ExamScoresClient
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[] examScores = {74, 67, 55, 91, 96, 49, 84, 75, 65, 95};
        ExamScores scores = new ExamScores(examScores);
        System.out.println("The scores:\t\t\t\t" + scores);
        System.out.println("The leftmost score is:\t\t\t" + scores.getScores()[0]);
        System.out.println("The rightmost score is:\t\t\t"
        + scores.getScores()[scores.getScores().length - 1]);
        System.out.println("The average of the scores is:\t\t" , scores.average());
        System.out.printf("The average of the scores is:\t\t%.1f\n" + scores.average());
        System.out.println("The highest score is:\t\t\t" + scores.highestScore());
        System.out.println("The lowest score is:\t\t\t" + scores.lowestScore());
        System.out.println("The median score is:\t\t\t" + scores.medianScore());
        System.out.println("The scores in ascending sequence:\t" + scores);
        System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------------------");
        int[] moreExamScores = {73, 57, 59, 93, 86, 48, 81, 65, 85, 92, 77};
        scores.setScores(moreExamScores);
        System.out.println("The scores:\t\t\t\t" + scores);
        System.out.println("The leftmost score is:\t\t\t" + scores.getScores()[0]);
        System.out.println("The rightmost score is:\t\t\t"
        + scores.getScores()[scores.getScores().length - 1]);
        System.out.println("The average of the scores is:\t\t" , scores.average());
        System.out.printf("The average of the scores is:\t\t%.1f\n" + scores.average());
        System.out.println("The highest score is:\t\t\t" + scores.highestScore());
        System.out.println("The lowest score is:\t\t\t" + scores.lowestScore());
        System.out.println("The median score is:\t\t\t" + scores.medianScore());
        System.out.println("The scores in ascending sequence:\t" + scores);
    }
}

So, as you can see there are two code.. The 2nd one is good code and it executes the program.. In the first code I need help to make a constructor and two methods.. Here are instructions what do I have to do:

Constructor: There is only one constructor which takes one parameter: an array of integers. It calls the setScores method passing it the parameter away.

Methods:

getScore: a public accessor method that takes no parameters and returns an array of integers. It declares and instantiates a local array of integers using the length of the scores array as the size specifier. It then copies the elements from the scores array into the local array. Finally, it returns the local array.

setScores: a public mutator method that returns void and takes one parameter, an array of integers. It instantiates the instance variable array scores using the length of the parameter array as the size specifier. It then copies the elements from the parameter array into the scores array. Finally, it assigns false to isSorted

public class ExamScores
{
    private int[] scores;
    private boolean isSorted;
 
 
    public int[] getScores()
    {
        int[] examScores = new int[scores.length];
 
        for(int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++)
        {
            examScores[i] = scores[i];
        }
        return examScores;
    }
 
    public void setScores(int[] examScores)
    {
        int[] scores = new int[examScores.length];
 
        for(int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++)
        {
            scores[i] = examScores[i];
        }
        isSorted = false;
    }
 
    public int sum()
    {
        int sum = 0;
 
        for (int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++)
        {
            sum += scores[i];
        }
        return sum;
    }
 
    public double average()
    {
       double average = 0.0;
 
       for (int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++)

           average = sum() / scores.length;
       }
       return average;
    }
 
    public int highestScore()

        }
 
        else
        {           
            for(int i = 1; i < scores.length; i++)
            {
                if(scores[i] > highestScore)
                {
                    highestScore = scores[i];
                }

                }
            }
        }
 
        return lowestScore;
    }
 
    public double medianScore()
    {        
        double medianScore = scores[0];
 
        if(scores.length%2 = 0)
        {
            medianScore = (scores(scores.lentgth/2) + scores(scores.length/2+1))/2;
        }
        else
        {
            medianScore = scores(scores.length/2);
        }
        return medianScore;
    }
 
    public void sort()
    {
        if(isSorted)

            for(int j = 0; j < scores.length - i - 1; j++)
            {
                if(scores[j] > scores[j + 1])
                {
                    temp = scores[j + 1];
                    scores[j + 1] = scores[j];
                    scores[j] = temp;
                    isSorted = false;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

public class ExamScoresClient

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[] examScores = {74, 67, 55, 91, 96, 49, 84, 75, 65, 95};

        System.out.println("The scores:\t\t\t\t" + scores);
        System.out.println("The leftmost score is:\t\t\t" + scores.getScores()[0]);
        System.out.println("The rightmost score is:\t\t\t"
        + scores.getScores()[scores.getScores().length - 1]);
        System.out.println("The average of the scores is:\t\t" , scores.average());

        int[] moreExamScores = {73, 57, 59, 93, 86, 48, 81, 65, 85, 92, 77};
        scores.setScores(moreExamScores);
        System.out.println("The scores:\t\t\t\t" + scores);
        System.out.println("The leftmost score is:\t\t\t" + scores.getScores()[0]);
        System.out.println("The rightmost score is:\t\t\t"

        System.out.println("The scores in ascending sequence:\t" + scores);
    }
}

In the first code when I go to compile there is error which says: unexpected type, required: variable, found: value and it show that the error is at the medianScore method if(scores.length%2 = 0)

Someone help pls

public class ExamScoresClient
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int[] examScores = {74, 67, 55, 91, 96, 49, 84, 75, 65, 95};
        ExamScores scores = new ExamScores(examScores);
        System.out.println("The scores:\t\t\t\t" + scores);
        System.out.println("The leftmost score is:\t\t\t" + scores.getScores()[0]);
        System.out.println("The rightmost score is:\t\t\t"
        + scores.getScores()[scores.getScores().length - 1]);
        System.out.println("The average of the scores is:\t\t" , scores.average());
        System.out.printf("The average of the scores is:\t\t%.1f\n" + scores.average());
        System.out.println("The highest score is:\t\t\t" + scores.highestScore());
        System.out.println("The lowest score is:\t\t\t" + scores.lowestScore());
        System.out.println("The median score is:\t\t\t" + scores.medianScore());
        System.out.println("The scores in ascending sequence:\t" + scores);
        System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------------------");
        int[] moreExamScores = {73, 57, 59, 93, 86, 48, 81, 65, 85, 92, 77};
        scores.setScores(moreExamScores);
        System.out.println("The scores:\t\t\t\t" + scores);
        System.out.println("The leftmost score is:\t\t\t" + scores.getScores()[0]);
        System.out.println("The rightmost score is:\t\t\t"
        + scores.getScores()[scores.getScores().length - 1]);
        System.out.println("The average of the scores is:\t\t" , scores.average());
        System.out.printf("The average of the scores is:\t\t%.1f\n" + scores.average());
        System.out.println("The highest score is:\t\t\t" + scores.highestScore());
        System.out.println("The lowest score is:\t\t\t" + scores.lowestScore());
        System.out.println("The median score is:\t\t\t" + scores.medianScore());
        System.out.println("The scores in ascending sequence:\t" + scores);
    }
}

Now the first code is alright, no errors, but in the second one when I go to compile there is error about ExamScores scores = new ExamScores(examScores);... it says that constructor ExamScores in class ExamScores cannot be applied to given types; required: no arguments; found: int[]; reason: actual and formal argument lists differ in length...
