    Default Arrays sorting

    I'm really stuck right now..
    like 2 hrs now, im tryna figure out a way to get this array in tabular format but its super difficult.
    dont really like asking for help but im always grateful for it..

      public static void main(String[] args)
        {
     
            int [] [] totals  = { {500, 150, 575, 500}, 
                                {200, 700, 175, 200}, 
                                {300, 75, 100, 400}, 
                                {100, 185, 118, 250}, 
                                {600, 260, 663, 345} };
     
     
     
     
            System.out.printf("%20s\n\n", "Overall Sales Distribution");
     
            System.out.print("             ");
     
            for (int sp = 0; sp < totals[0].length; sp++)
                System.out.printf("SalesP%d  ", sp + 1);
     
            System.out.println("Total"); // total sales columns
     
            for(int prod = 0; prod < totals.length; prod++)
            {
                System.out.printf("Prod%d", prod + 1);
     
                for(int sp : totals[prod])
     
                    System.out.printf("%5d", sp);

    Just trial and error with manipulation of field width. I ran your code and it just comes out as:

    Overall Sales Distribution

    SalesP1 SalesP2 SalesP3 SalesP4 Total
    Prod1 500 150 575 500Prod2 200 700 175 200Prod3 300 75 100 400Prod4 100 185 118 250Prod5 600 260 663 345

    You are going to need a new line character in there somewhere if you want it to look the way you want it to.

    Are you having trouble with the field widths of the printf method or setting up the for loop? What exactly are you having trouble with.

    setting up the loop i guess...
    i tried new line characters every where wont work.
    i've come to the conclusion now that i need a new loop or control statement
    to go to new line after reading every array row..
    but i'm having problem tryna do it..
    im not sure where to insert it or how do i do it..
    my teacher has no teaching skills wat so eva, im screwed

    a way to get this array in tabular format
    Can you post an example of what you are trying to do
    and a sample of the program's current output.

    Default Re: Arrays sorting

    *(Total Sales) Use a two-dimensional array to solve the following problem: 
     * A company has four salespeople (1 to 4) who sell five different products (1 to 5). 
     * Once a day, each salesperson passes in a slip for each type of product sold. Each slip contains the following:
     
    a) The salesperson number
    b) The product number
    c) The total dollar value of that product sold that day
     
    Thus, each salesperson passes in between 0 and 5 sales slips per day. Assume that the information
    from all the slips for last month is available. Write an application that will read all this information
    for last month’s sales and summarize the total sales by salesperson and by product. All totals should
    be stored in the two-dimensional array sales. After processing all the information for last month,
    display the results in tabular format, with each column representing a particular salesperson and
    each row representing a particular product. Cross-total each row to get the total sales of each product
    for last month. Cross-total each column to get the total sales by salesperson for last month.
    Your tabular output should include these cross-totals to the right of the totaled rows and to the
    bottom of the totaled columns.



    thats the question

    and the code at the top page is how far ive gotten

    Default Re: Arrays sorting

    Try adding some control characters in the Strings that are being printed.
    Add a "\n" where you want the following String to be on the next line
    Add a "\t" where you want the following String to be moved to the next "tab" column on the current line.

    Adding these control characters can take some experimenting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: Arrays sorting

    i've tried all of these don't seem to work.. i was wondering if i need another control statement and where to put it

    --- Update ---

    ok thanks norm.. i tried adding new line somewhere i hadn't it worked..

    System.out.printf("\nProd%d", prod + 1);

    --- Update ---

    i hav the codes for row total and column total, but i hav no idea how to insert them into my code.

    row total:
    for(int row = 0; row < totals.length; row++)
            {
                int sum = 0;
                for(int column = 0; column < totals[row].length; column++)
                    sum += totals [row][column];

    Column total:
     for(int r = 0; r < totals.length; r++)
            {
                int total = 0;
                for(int c = 0; c < totals[r].length; c++)
                    total += totals [c][r];

    Default Re: Arrays sorting

    row total and column total
    The row totals would go in a column at the end of each row
    The column totals would go in a row following the last row of details.

    xception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 4
    at leedanielassignment3.TotalSales.main(TotalSales.ja va:84)
    The code at line 84 uses an index that is past the end of the array. Check why the index is too big.
    Remember array indexes range from 0 to the array length-1

    Check that the array indexes are being used in the correct order in the dimensions: row then column
