Using Java how do I use a class type array to store user details

Hi,

I have the attached code.

I have purposly only used one class and arrays as this was a requirement. How can I modify the code to allow the user to place up to 20 bets (each bet is 6 different numbers between 1 and 49) at a cost of £1 per bet. Basically I need to modify my class to also prompt the user for his/her name and how many bets they would like to make (up to 20 bets) keeping track of how much they are due for the amount of bets they have made. I also need to give the user the option of a lucky dip where the program chooses 6 random numbers for them.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Random;

public class LotteryNumbers
{
 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
     System.out.println( "Play Lottery : 6/49" + "\n");

  // Part 1: Pick six  numbers, between 1 and 49.
  // and put them in an arry of six numbers

  int [] P = new int [6];

  // Create a Scanner input from keyboard
      System.out.println("Part1:  \n");
  System.out.println( "£1 for a line of six numbers. Play!" + "\n");

  System.out.println("Enter your lottery numbers- enter one number at a time.");

   for (int index =0; index <6; index++)
    {
     Scanner keyboard = new Scanner (System.in);
     System.out.print("# " + (index+1) + ": ");
     P[index] = keyboard.nextInt();
       }
         while (
        (P[0] < 1|| P[0] >49)||
              (P[1] < 1|| P[1] >49)||
              (P[2] < 1|| P[2] >49)||
              (P[3] < 1|| P[3] >49)||
              (P[4] < 1|| P[4] >49)||
              (P[5] < 1|| P[5] >49)

              ||

              P[0] == P[1] || P[0] == P[2] || P[0] ==P[3] || P[0]== P[4] || P[0] ==P[5]||

Use a String to hold the user name, an int to hold the number of bets and change your array to a matrix of 20x6. Populate it based on how many bets the user wants to place.

Gatorvip,

Can you alter my code to show me what you mean?

Thanks.

Well, you currently have:

  int [] P = new int [6];
...
      int [] lotteryNumbers  = new int [6];

Open in new window

This portion of code looks to me like you're using two arrays instead of your requirement of one, unless I misread what you wrote.

What I would do is create several class variables:

String clientName;
int numBets;
int [][] lotteryNumbers = new int [20][6];

Open in new window

Where numBets will hold a user-inputted value and can be any integer from 1 to 20. The lotteryNumbers array is fixed size, but you can change that to a dynamic one and initialize it with the numBets value too.

For example, you could do this:

public static void main(String[] args)
{
 
...
	// get the user's name
	System.out.println("What is your name?");
	clientName = keyboard.next();
	
	// find the number of bets
	System.out.println("How many bets would you like to make (up to 20)?");
	numBets = keyboard.nextInt();
...

Hi gatorvip,

My requirements state to use only one class but I can use multiple arrays.

Am I best still to use your 20x6 array? If so, I'm stuggling to combine my two arrays into one as my existing code is dependant on P[index] which I am struggling to find with your approach.

Thanks.
