Thread: Random Generator method is not giving me the correct average, Help Needed

Create an array that will store 7 temperatures.
Populate the array with 7 random temperatures from 1 to 100 degrees. (hint use a for loop and a Random number Generator)
After the temperatures are in the array, calculate the average of the temperatures in the array.
Print out the average.
Print out each temperature in a statement comparing it to the average such as:
The average temperature is 48.94

Temperature 1 is 5.0 and is below average.

Temperature 2 is 67.8 and is above average.

import java.util.Random;
 
public class ArrayOfTemperatures
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      // Declare an array
      int[] randomtemps = new int[7];
      temps[0] = 45;
      temps[1] = 32;
      temps[2] = 55;
      temps[3] = 75;
      temps[4] = 89;
      temps[5] = 42;
      temps[6] = 25;
 
   // record temperatures and find average
      int counter = 0;
      for (int i = 0; i < temperature; i++)
      {
         temps[i] = random.nextInt();
         counter++;
      }
      double average = (double) counter / temperature;
 
    // count days
      int above = 0;
      for (int i = 0; i < temps.length; i++)
      {
         if (temps[i] > average)
         {
            above++;
         }
      }
 
   // report results
      System.out.println();
      System.out.println("Average = " +  average);
      System.out.println(above + " days average");
   }
}

Yeah there's no average calculation there in that code, counter / temperature is not logically correctly.

You don't need a counter as you say there's 7 temperatures so you should just divide it by 7.

There's a lot more to do I think.
