    Default Highschool student in need of help with array problem! Please Help!

    So I am in a computer science class at my school and there is this one program that I can't seem to figure out! If anyone here would like to help, I really appreciate it! Could someone explain to me how to do the for loops? Well here's the objective:

    Design and implement an application that reads a set of values in the range 1 to 100 from the user and then creates a chart showing how often the value appeared. The chart should look like the one shown here. It shows how many values fell in the range 1 to 10, 11 to 20, and so on. Print one asterisk for each value entered.
    1-10 *****
    11-20 **
    21-30 *******************
    31-40
    41-50 ***
    51-60 ********
    61-70 **
    71-80 *****
    81-90 *******
    91-100 *********

    Here's what I have so far:

    import java.util.Scanner;
    public class C6p4
    {
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
    Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
    int[] count = new int[10];
    int num;
    if (num >= 1 && num <= 10)
    count[0];
    if (num >= 11 && num <= 20)
    count[1];
    if (num >= 21 && num <= 30)
    count[2];
    if (num >= 31 && num <= 40)
    count[3];
    if (num >= 41 && num <= 50)
    count[4];
    if (num >= 51 && num <= 60)
    count[5];
    if (num >= 61 && num <= 70)
    count[6];
    if (num >= 71 && num <= 80)
    count[7];
    if (num >= 81 && num <= 90)
    count[8];
    if (num >= 91 && num <= 100)
    count[9];
    }
    for ( int i = 0; i < 9; i ++)
    {
    System.out.print(" ");
    for ( int j = 1; j < count[i]; j ++)
    {
    System.out.print("*");
    }
    }
    }





    I'm using Eclipse and it says there's a syntax error with all the "count[ # ]; "
    and my brackets. Anyway, someone please help this desperate lady

    Can you copy the full text of the error messages and post it here?

    Please edit your post and wrap your code with
    [code=java]
    <YOUR CODE HERE>
    [/code]
    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

    What are the count[#] statements supposed to do? There is no operation being done with the values/variables.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Just to get you started:

    if (num >= 1 && num <= 10)
    count[0];

    What did you intend with the count array? At the moment it isn't a proper statement. It needs something done to it, like printing it out, assigning it to a variable, or adding a number to it etc...

    1 way to do this would be :

    String 1to10;
     
    if (num >= 1 && num <= 10)
    1to10 += "* ";
