    Default Files and arrays

    Practicing a lot of java and testing my codes until I become better at it.

    Am reading records from a txt file and storing it into an array
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
     
    public class PatientExercise {
    	//patients exercise time
    	public static void main (String[]args) throws IOException{
    		Scanner in = new Scanner(new FileReader("values.txt"));
    		double [] patientTimeRecords = new double [300];
    		int noExerciseCount=0, numPatients =0;
    		double highest=0, lowest=0, avg=0, totalTime=0;
     
    		//iniitializing the array
    		for(int i = 0; i < patientTimeRecords.length; i++)
    			patientTimeRecords[i] = 0.0;
     
     
        	int i=0;
    		patientTimeRecords[i] = in.nextDouble();
    		//double []patientTime = double
    		while(patientTimeRecords[i] >= 0)
    		{
    			totalTime = totalTime + patientTimeRecords[i];
     
    			//counts number of times patient didn't exercise
    			if (patientTimeRecords[i] == 0)
    			{
    				noExerciseCount++;
    			}
    	        //finds and updates highest exercise time
    			if (patientTimeRecords[i] > highest)
    			{
    				highest=patientTimeRecords[i];
    			}
    			 //finds and updates lowest exercise time
    			if (patientTimeRecords[i] < lowest)
    			{
    				lowest=patientTimeRecords[i];
    			}
     
    			 numPatients++;
    			 patientTimeRecords[i]= in.nextDouble();
    		}//end while
     
    		avg =totalTime/numPatients;
    		System.out.printf("Highest Time: %2.2f\n", highest);
    		System.out.printf("Lowest Time: %2.2f\n", lowest);
    		System.out.printf("Average Time: %2.2f\n", avg);
    		System.out.printf("Number of times patient did not exeercise: %2.2f\n", noExerciseCount);	
     
     
    	}
    }


    However an error msg keeps popping up:
    Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException
    at java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:907)
    at java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1530)
    at java.util.Scanner.nextDouble(Scanner.java:2456)
    at pastpapers.PatientExercise.main(PatientExercise.ja va:44)

    line 44 is:patientTimeRecords[i]= in.nextDouble();

    You never increment i in your while loop. Even if you did that you rely on the file containing at least 300 doubles.

    Hi, i incremented the i by replacing the:
    patientTimeRecords[i]= in.nextDouble();
    TO
    patientTimeRecords[i]++;

    But, my output screen is blank

    patientTimeRecords[i]++;
    That code increments the contents of the array indexed by i. It does NOT change the value of i.
    To increment i, move the ++ to next to the i: ...[i++]

    	}
    }


    the for loop said i is duplicate but when i remove 1=0 before the while loop, the program says i cannot be resolved as variable.

    Default Re: Files and arrays

    i is duplicate
    Change the name of the variable, say to i2 so there are two variables: i and i2.

    You need to copy and paste the full text of the error messages because they have important information that you are leaving out in your posts.

    BTW The poor formatting of the code is making it hard to see where the pairs of {} are located.

    Did you try renaming that variable so it had a new name and was not a duplicate?
