Array program help needed

Java newbie here just trying to figure out the solution to this problem. The task is to create a program that asks a user the following:

Quote:

---

How many tests scores? 2 [enter]
Enter test score #1:70 [enter]
Enter test score #2:50 [enter]
Enter a score you wish to search: 50 [enter]
You scored 50 on test #2.

---

Or, display an error message if the score is not found. The program is to store the data in the array "exams". My code so far is below.

Exam class

Code :

---

public class Exam {
	private int[] exams;
	public Exam(int[] exams2)
	{
		this.exams = exams2;
	}
	public void sequentialSearch(int check) 
	{
		for (int i = 0; i < exams.length; i++) 
		{
			if (check == exams[i])
				System.out.println("You got a " + check + " on exam "+ (i+1));
			else
				System.out.println("The test score was not found.");
		}
	}
 
}

ExamTester class

Code :

---

import java.util.Scanner;
public class ExamTester {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.println("How many exams?");
		int numexams = keyboard.nextInt();
		int[] exams = new int[numexams];
		for (int a = 0; a < numexams; a++) 
		{
			System.out.print("Enter a score on test # "+ (a+1) + ": " );
			exams[a] = keyboard.nextInt();
		}
		System.out.println("Enter a score that you want to search: ");
		int check = keyboard.nextInt();
		Exam e = new Exam(exams);
		e.sequentialSearch(check);
		}
	}

---

The program works, but it always outputs "The test score was not found" even after saying "You got x on exam y". I know it has something to do with that for loop, but I am stuck on how to fix it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!!

You should add a flag to the loop letting you know a score was found, rather than the if/else, at least I'm guessing this is the behavior you want

Code :

---

		boolean found = false;
		for (int i = 0; i < exams.length; i++) 
		{
			if (check == exams[i]){
				System.out.println("You got a " + check + " on exam "+ (i+1));
				found = true;
			}				
		}
		if ( !found ){
			System.out.println("The test score was not found.");
		}

Oh man I can't believe I didn't think of a boolean. Thanks so much!
