Hi, I'm having some trouble with a java assignment. Can someone help me out plz: emergency!
here's the problem:

[i]Write a program that reads numbers from the keyboard into an array of type int[]. You may assume that there will be 50 or fewer entries in the array. Your program allows any number of numbers to be entered up to 50 numbers. The output is to be a two-column list. The first column is a list of the distinct array elements; the second column is the count of the number of occurrences of eahe element. The list should be sorted on entries in the first column, largest to smallest.

thanks!

What have you got so far?

Please attempt to atleast produce a general idea of what to do (psuedo-code) to solve the problem.

People will not take their time to do your homework, despite what you may think.

If you have a specific question about the assignment, then perhaps an individual will be more inclined to help you out.

Sorry for not being precise enough; this is what i got so far; i plan to do the main method last, I did the input method, but i'm stuck on the creation of the list.

(Toggle Plain Text)

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ArrayProg 
{
	public static final int Max_Entries = 50;
	private static int[] entries = new int[Max_Entries];
	
	public static void main (String[] args)
	{
		
	}
	public static int fillArray()
	{
		System.out.print("Enter up to " + entries.length + " non decimal number: ");
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		int index = 0;
		int next = keyboard.nextInt();
		while (index < entries.length)
		{
			
			entries [index] = next;
			index++;
			next = keyboard.nextInt();
		}
	return index;
	}
	public static int createList()
	{
		
	}
}

Please use code-tags next time.

Also, what I would do is have a method like this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

public static void method()
{
	 for(int i = 0; i<entries.length; i++)
	 {
		  // if entries[i] = any of the elements before it then 
				 //continue
		  int counter = 1;
		  for(int j = i; k<entries.length; j++)
		  {
				// if entries[j] is the same as entries[i] add 1 to counter
		  }
		  // print entries[i] and then counter
	 }
}

That would be the way I'd go.

Good point MJ, I was going to suggest the same but then I read your post and it looks like you got it under control.

"for" loops are better for assigning arrays their values in a consecutive way.
