    Default Arrays nightmare

    Hi, I just don't seem to grasp arrays at all! So am continuing my practice in java.

    QUESTION:
    It's a radio poll on the most listened to radio station.
    I have to read the UNKNOWN number of integers from a file and output the percentage of all listeners that listen to each radio station.
    Each station has a unique code 1-5.

    It sounds pretty simple but not when I attempt to code it.

    Here is what I did:
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
     
    public class RadioStationsPoll{
             public static void main (String [] args) throw IOException{
             Scanner in = new Scanner (new FileReader("polls.txt"));
     
             int [] allStationCodes = new int [];
             int stationCode , i, total;
             int [] stationCount = new int [];
     
             stationCode = in.nextInt();
     
             while (stationCode !=0)
             {
     
                    for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) 
    	        {
     
                              if (stationCode [i] == i)
                              {
                                   stationCount[i] = (stationCode[i]) ++;
                              }
     
                              total = total + count [i]++;
                              System.out.printf ("Station" +  i  + "%d     percent"  + stationCount [i] /total);
                              i++;
                    }
     
             }
     
       }   
    }

    Can you explain what the problem is with the code you have posted? Be specific and show the program's output and explain what is wrong with the output.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
