    Default Printing arrays from user inputs (2 dimensional)

    Hi, I have a table of elements ( 2 dimensional arrays) . The user will enter in the name of the column and the value of the element in that column. There are 3 columns, how do I print out all the other values with their column's name on the same row? Thank you.

    user will enter in the name of the column and the value of the element
    How are names associated with the value of the indexes for an element in the array?

    Given a column index, is the program supposed to search the array to find the row that has the "value" in the given column?
    when you find the row, then you want to get all the values from that row except the one in the given column.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    so the table looks like this

    freshmen sophomore junior
    32 14 23
    31 23 45
    54 32 33.3
    80 13 0
    32 77 100

    If the user enter in: sophomore and a value of 14, I wants my program to display freshman = 32 and junior = 23

    My program always print out the error statement
    You need to add the -Xlint option for the javac command to get the warnings from the compiler about possible problems with the code. Here is the commandline I use to compille the program:
    D:\Java\jdk1.7.0.7\bin\javac.exe -cp . -Xlint SeventhGradedAssignment.java
