    Default Array Looping

    I Cant Seem To Figure Out Where To Put My Loop For Row Totals.. It Ends Up With Number Repetitions n errors.. the code in italics is supposed to represent row totals but i tried placing it every where but i keep getting a constant inappropriate result..

      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} };
     
     
     
          // header
            System.out.printf("\t\t%20s\n\n", "Overall Sales Distribution:");
     
            System.out.print("            ");
     
            // column headers for table
            for (int sp = 0; sp < totals[0].length; sp++)
            {
     
                System.out.printf("SalesP%d  ", sp + 1);
            }
     
            System.out.print("Total"); // total sales columns
     
            // row headers for table
            for(int prod = 0; prod < totals.length; prod++)
             {  
     
                 // print row totals in column total
               [I] for(int row  = 0; row < totals.length; row++)
                {
                    int sum = 0;
     
                    for(int column = 0; column < totals[row].length; column++)
                    {
                    sum += totals [row][column];
     
                    System.out.printf("%8d", sum);
                    }[/I]
     
                }
                System.out.printf("\nProd%d", prod + 1);
     
                // print array values in table
                    for(int sp : totals[prod])
                    {
     
                        System.out.printf("%10d", sp);          
                    }
             }
     
                System.out.print("\nTotal");
     
              for(int r = 0; r < totals.length; r++)
                {
                    int total = 0;
                    for(int c = 0; c < totals[r].length; c++)
                        total += totals[c][r];
     
                        System.out.printf("%10d", total);
                }
     
    }

    Can you post what you want the output to look like? And add some comments saying what is wrong with the program's current output.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I think it'd be easier to completely rewrite the code rather than try to fix what is there.

    Pseudo code:
    print the header
    begin loop through rows
    print the row header in first column
    begin loop through columns
    print the column data w/o endline
    end loop thru columns
    print endline
    end loop thru rows
    print total line

    The endline character: "\n"or what is printed by the println() method.

    What I'm talking about is the line.separator value. Its value depends on what OS you are on. On Windows its: "\r\n" or others it can be "\r" and others "\n".

    Many programs on Windows will recognize "\n" as the end of a line. But not all do.

    oh aight.. i kno it as new line

    --- Update ---

    i loop thru the row with this

    for( int row = 0; row < array.length; row++)

    and apparently it keeps printing column header more than once. which then gives me more than 1 table.

    public static void main(String[] args)
        {
            int [] [] totals  = { {50, 15, 75, 50}, 
                                {20, 70, 15, 20}, 
                                {30, 75, 10, 40}, 
                                {10, 85, 81, 50}, 
                                {60, 60, 66, 45} };
     
     
     
          // header
            System.out.printf("\t\t%20s\n\n", "Overall Sales Distribution:");
     
     
                 // looping thru rows
                for(int row  = 0; row < totals.length; row++)
                {
                            System.out.print("             ");
     
                            // loop n print column headers
                     for (int sp = 0; sp < totals[0].length; sp++)
                        { 
                            System.out.printf("SalesPerson%d  ", sp + 1);
                        }
     
                             // print row total last in row column
                            System.out.print("Total"); // total sales columns
     
                    int sum = 0; // initiate sum
     
                    // looping thru columns 
                    for(int column = 0; column < totals[row].length; column++)
                    {
                         for(int prod = 0; prod < totals.length; prod++)
                         {  
                            System.out.printf("\nProd%d", prod + 1);
     
     
                                // print array values in table
                                for(int sp : totals[prod])
                                    {
     
                                        System.out.printf("%10d", sp);          
                                    }
                        }
                                sum += totals [row][column];
     
                                System.out.printf("%8d", sum);
                    } 
                    System.out.println("");

    Default Re: Array Looping

    Why are the the loops nested 3 deep?
    Here's what should work:
    One loop for each row
    one loop for the columns on each row

    What are the other loops for?

    Try reducing the nesting depth to 2.

    Write some pseudo code for how the code works

    It might help to indent your code properly. You can read it better. But anyway this is what I have been able to do :
      **** Please don't spoonfeed code
