    Question Arrays

    Hello can anyone help me write this program using blueJ.

    Write a Java program that will:
    Firstly prompt the lecturer to enter the number of students in a programming class in
    range 1-10.
    Secondly, for each student prompt the lecturer to firstly enter their name (string) and
    then secondly enter their test score (integer).
    Hint – you should use two equal length arrays – one to store the student names and
    one to store the student scores. We can then retrieve/update any student name/score
    pair by using the same index to access each separate array. You may assume that there
    will never be more than 10 students in the class.
    Thirdly, calculate and display the following results from the data entered.
    1. Average mark
    2. Name(s) of student(s) below the average mark
    3. Lowest mark
    4. Highest mark
    5. Name(s) of student(s) achieving highest mark

    This is what i have done so far:

    import uulib.*;
    public class Exam{
    public static void main (String [] args)
    {
    final int SIZE = 10;
    int [] mark = new int [SIZE];
    String [] name = new String [SIZE];

    for (int i = 0; i < mark.length; i=i+1)

    {
    name [i] = GUI.getString ("Enter name");
    mark [i] = GUI.getInt("Enter mark");


    }
    GUI.show (
    "Lowest mark =" + name + lowest (mark) + "\n" +
    "Highest mark = " + name + highest ( mark) +
    " Average mark = " + name + average (mark));

    }


    public static int highest (int[] nums)
    {
    int large = nums [0];

    for (int i = 1; 1<nums.length; i=i+1)
    {
    if (nums [1] > large)
    large = nums [i];
    }

    return large;
    }

    public static int lowest (int [] nums)
    {
    int small = nums[0];

    for (int i = 1; i<nums.length; i=i+1)
    {
    if (nums [i] < small)
    small = nums [i];
    }
    return small;
    }


    public static int average(int[] nums)
    {
    int total = 0;
    for (int i=0; i< nums.length; i++)
    {
    total = total + nums[i];
    }
    return total/nums.length;
    }

    }
