Thread: Efficent idea to use on this question...

I'm aware I have posted several questions within the last 30 minutes and I do apologize for that. I'm just trying to learn this and grasp the concept of it. Now in this following class, I have five subjects with scores initizliaed to 40. I have one method that takes in arguments from the user. The other method that's a returning type returns the score. Rather, then having to write

public int Pe Score()
{return pe;}

and

public int sciencescore(){return science;}

and same for the other 3 subjects. Is there another effiecnte way to write this, because writing this five times doesn't seem to be a smart method..i was just thinking of using a void and printint all of them out...

public class StudentScore
{
	private int math;
	private int science;
	private int calc;
	private int history;
	private int pe;
 
	//Make a constructor
	public StudentScore()
	{
		math=40;
		science=40;
		calc=40;
		history=40;
		pe=40;
 
	}
 
	public void getscore(int m_score,int s_score,int c_score,int h_score,int P_score)
	{
		math=m_score;
		science=s_score;
		calc=c_score;
		history=h_score;
		pe=P_score;
 
 
	}
 
	public int Scores()
	{
		return math;
 
	}
	public int scienceScore()
	{
		return science;
	}
}

you can actually use hashmap
write a function which returns hashmap
store your each subject scores in hashmap<K,V> where K is subject name and value is subject score
and in main function u can get the subject score associated with the subject name.

Or, each student object is an instance of a class Student that has methods to return the attributes of each Student object as they are needed. You didn't show what a 'subject' is, but I suspect they are each a loose collection of scores without form, not objects. Write a Student class, and come back if you need help.
