changing my code to add a loop to put in values
I have a code here that works fine, but I was wondering how to change it to use a loop to put in my array vaules. This was fairly easy todo because there was only 20 total vaules to add but larger program would need some sort of loop. Here is my working Code
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class ThreeArrayLists {
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList priceList = new ArrayList();
ArrayList quantityList = new ArrayList();
ArrayList amountList = new ArrayList();
//PRICE lIST
priceList.add(new Double(10.62));
priceList.add(new Double(14.89));
priceList.add(new Double(13.21));
priceList.add(new Double(16.55));
priceList.add(new Double(18.62));
priceList.add(new Double(9.47));
priceList.add(new Double(6.58));
priceList.add(new Double(18.32));
priceList.add(new Double(12.15));
priceList.add(new Double(3.98));
//QUANTITY LIST
quantityList.add(new Double(4.0));
quantityList.add(new Double(8.5));
quantityList.add(new Double(6.0));
quantityList.add(new Double(7.35));
quantityList.add(new Double(9.0));
quantityList.add(new Double(15.3));
quantityList.add(new Double(3));
quantityList.add(new Double(5.4));
quantityList.add(new Double(2.9));
quantityList.add(new Double(4.8));
// call extend method
extend(amountList, quantityList, priceList);
//call display method
display(quantityList, priceList, amountList);
}
// display method
private static void display(ArrayList quantityList, ArrayList priceList, ArrayList amountList) {
//for loop to display arrays
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
//format using %.2f to round all numbers to 2 decimals
System.out.format("%d) %.2f * %.2f = %.2f \n",i+1,
Double.valueOf(priceList.get(i).toString()),
Double.valueOf(quantityList.get(i).toString()), Double.valueOf(amountList.get(i).toString()));
}
}
private static void extend(ArrayList amountList, ArrayList quantityList, ArrayList priceList) {
//for loop to do the math
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
amountList.add((Double.valueOf(priceList.get(i).toString())) * (Double.valueOf(quantityList.get(i).toString())));
}
}
}
for i = 0 to i < 10
{
priceList.add(priceArray[i]);
quantityList.add(quantityArray[i]);
}
final double[] PRICE_ARRAY = { 10.62, 14.89, 13.21, 16.55, 18.62, 9.47,
6.58, 18.32, 12.15, 3.98 };
final double[] QUANTITY_ARRAY = { 4.0, 8.5, 6.0, 7.35, 9.0, 15.3, 3.0, 5.4,
2.9, 4.8 };
Your array initialisation looks fine. And your loop is almost there, try this...
for (int i = 0; i < PRICE_ARRAY.length; i++)
{
priceList.add(PRICE_ARRAY[i]);
quantityList.add(QUANTITY_ARRAY[i]);
}
final double[][] DETAILS_ARRAY = {
{ 10.62, 4.0 },
{ 14.89, 8.5},
{ 13.32, 6.0},
};
for (int i = 0; i < DETAILS_ARRAY.length; i++) {
priceList.add(DETAILS_ARRAY[i][0]);
quantityList.add(DETAILS_ARRAY[i][1]);
}
Just make sure that there is always the same number (or more) entries in quantityArray than in priceArray, or else you will get an exception. To make sure this doesn't happen, the next step is to use a multi-dimensional array, such as...
You need to make your code more object oriented really. Using that kind of approach might be fine for first steps in learning C (later there even you'd use a struct) but not really for Java. Java is an object oriented language and should be used as such from the outset.
What you need is a class called, say 'Item' that encapsulates the attributes of 'price', 'quantity' etc. You would create instances of Item and manipulate them accordingly. Synchronization of List length problems then disappear, though of course that's not the principal motivation.
Don't reinvent the wheel, but stand on the shoulders of giants.
Use the library to do the dirty work of looping over the array to create a list and just call:
List list = Arrays.asList(array);

Ok guys. I'm missing something ! Please don't give up on me.
