    Default Student grading application

    Hello everyone!

    Got an assignment I got to do and i'm completely befuddled. All I got to do is: "Create a program that uses a multidimensional array to store student grades. The first dimension should be a number for each student's grades, and the second dimension should be for each student's grades. Display the average of all the grades earned by each student and an overall average for every student."

    I have no clue how that should be done; all I got atm is student grades.

    class Hr9StudentGrader {
        public static void main(String []args){
            int twodim [][] = new int[6][6];
            twodim[0][0] = 30;
            twodim[0][1] = 26;
            twodim[0][2] = 88;
            twodim[0][3] = 96;
            twodim[0][4] = 72;
            twodim[0][5] = 81;
            twodim[1][0] = 48;
            twodim[1][1] = 36;
            twodim[1][2] = 95;
            twodim[1][3] = 63;
            twodim[1][4] = 100;
            twodim[1][5] = 54;
            twodim[2][0] = 68;
            twodim[2][1] = 49;
            twodim[2][2] = 36;
            twodim[2][3] = 65;
            twodim[2][4] = 65;
            twodim[2][5] = 32;
            twodim[3][0] = 46;
            twodim[3][1] = 56;
            twodim[3][2] = 65;
            twodim[3][3] = 65;
            twodim[3][4] = 46;
            twodim[3][5] = 95;
            twodim[4][0] = 66;
            twodim[4][1] = 46;
            twodim[4][2] = 84;
            twodim[4][3] = 98;
            twodim[4][4] = 46;
            twodim[4][5] = 35;
            twodim[5][0] = 78;
            twodim[5][1] = 69;
            twodim[5][2] = 98;
            twodim[5][3] = 98;
            twodim[5][4] = 82;
            twodim[5][5] = 64;
     
        }
    }

    I'm sure you know how to calculate average: average = total of scores / number of scores

    To calculate each students grade:
    Loop through each student, keeping track of the total scores. After you iterate through one student, perform the average calculation by dividing that particular student's score by the total number of scores (which will be 6).

    To calculate the total average.
    You can just add up each individual student's average and then divide by the number of students.
