Thread: error related arrays outputting wront data...

I've debugged this program for an hour and a half now i figure its time to post here's my code

 

package chapter13;

import java.util.Scanner;

/**

 * @author Austin Calkins

 */

public class Percentile {



	static double highestPercent = 0;

	static int highestScore = 0;



	public static void main(String[] args) {

		Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

		String[] name = new String[100];

		// Student a[] = new Student[100];

		// System.out.println(a.getName());

		double[][] marks = new double[100][2];

		int numEntries = 0;

		int numGreator = 0;



		for (int loop = 0; loop < 100; loop++) {

			System.out.println("name: ");

			String temp = sc.next();

			if (temp.equalsIgnoreCase("stop"))

				break;

			System.out.println("mark: ");

			int tempMark = sc.nextInt();

			numEntries++;

			name[loop] = temp;

			for (int i = 0; i < numEntries; i++) {

				if (tempMark > marks[i][0]) {

					for (int k = numEntries - 1; k < i; k--) {

						marks[k][0] = marks[k - 1][0];

					}

					marks[i][0] = tempMark;

					name[i] = temp;

					break;

				}

			}

		}// end for input

		for (int loop = 0; loop < numEntries; loop++) {

			for (int loop2 = 0; loop2 < numEntries; loop2++) {

				if (marks[loop][0] >= marks[loop2][0]) {

					numGreator++;

				}

			}

			double percentile = ((double) numGreator / (double) numEntries) * 100.0;

			marks[loop][1] = percentile;

			numGreator = 0;

		}

		for (int loop = 0; loop < numEntries; loop++) {

			System.out.println(name[loop] + ": percentile: " + marks[loop][1]);

		}

	}// end main

}// end class

i entered fred 72, mark 60, sally 90, austin 95, rick 95,
and the names were wrong and wo were the bottom three percentiles please help

What output did you expect? What was your actual output? Have you stepped through this with a debugger, or at least added some print statements to figure out what's going on? And do you really not indent your code?

no the forum BB code wont indent it, here is the output
austin: percentile: 100.0
rick: percentile: 100.0
sue: percentile: 60.0
austin: percentile: 60.0
rick: percentile: 60.0

i expected
austin: percentile:100
rick :percentile: 100
sue :percentile: 60
fred :percentile:40:
sally :percentile:20

It preserves indentation if you use the highlight tags.

What is your program actually supposed to do though? What do those percentile outputs represent? And what happened when you stepped through this with a debugger?
