Displaying Array Not Working.

The assignment is to write a program that will read a set of numbers, sort the numbers, and print the array values. My issue is that everything works just fine until it comes to printing the array values.

Code :

---

package program11;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
public class Program11 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double [] list = new double [10];
        getList(list);
        sort(list);
        printList(list);
    }
    public static void getList(double [] theList){
        for (int n = 0; n < theList.length; n++){
            theList [n] = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
                    "Enter a number:"));
        }
    }
    public static void sort(double [] theList){
        double hold;
        for (int a = 0; a < theList.length - 1; a++){
            for (int z = a + 1; z < theList.length; z++){
                if (theList [a] > theList [z]){
                    hold = theList [a];
                    theList [a] = theList [z];
                    theList [z] = hold;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    public static void printList(double [] list){
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The numbers are: " + (list));
    }
}

I know there's a problem with the printList method, but I'm not sure what exactly I need to do to get the program to display the array.

What do you expect to happen? What happens instead?

Try this...

Code :

---

package program11;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 
public class Program11 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        double [] list = new double [10];
        getList(list);
        sort(list);
        printList();
    }
    public static void getList(double [] theList){
        for (int n = 0; n < theList.length; n++){
            theList [n] = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,
                    "Enter a number:"));
        }
    }
    public static void sort(double [] theList){
        double hold;
        for (int a = 0; a < theList.length - 1; a++){
            for (int z = a + 1; z < theList.length; z++){
                if (theList [a] > theList [z]){
                    hold = theList [a];
                    theList [a] = theList [z];
                    theList [z] = hold;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    public static void printList(){
JFrame frame  = new JFrame();
JTextArea text = new JTextArea();
frame.add(text);
        for(int i = 0; i <= 10; i++){
            text.append(list[i] + ", ");
     }
frame.setVisible(true);
    }
}

As I said, the program doesn't display the array as it's supposed to, but instead displays a jumbled code (e.g., [D@1e536d6). I type in numbers then the program is supposed to sort the array into ascending order and display the sorted array.

Have you tried my code update?

Give me a second..

Well, it was meant for you. I appreciate you trying to help, but what happens next time the OP has a test on this stuff? Giving out full code solutions might help in the short term, but in the long term, it's better to ask questions to help people work through their own problems. It's easy to get caught up in trying to solve a person's problems, but it's much more helpful to help them solve their own problems.

ahh.. sorry man.. i wont give out any more solutions then :D
