Thread: Need java code help

iM NOT sure this is the right place, but i need help.......just wokeup to see a post my professor posted with extra credit on a test i probably got a 20/100 on, so plz help, its due in 1 hour suposedly......n e way heres the code.

CodingBat getIQ

Given a person's writing sample, estimate their IQ using the following algorithm. Sum the length of each word, multiply by 15, then divide by the number of words (truncate any fractional part). Assume words are separated by whitespace and that there is no punctuation.

getIQ("i use short words") → 52
getIQ("mississippi expectations exceed extraordinary") → 157
getIQ("hello bye") → 60

Thanks

no there is no code, under the link is the problem, u have to make the code answering the problem and all that they give you is

 public int getIQ(String phrase){
 
}

you have to complete the rest

no its not hw its extra credit, since the whole class is failing...... heres wat i have so far

public int getIQ(String phrase){
int strLength=0, numWord=0;
String tempWord;
Scanner s = new (Scanner phrase);
 
while (true) {
tempWord=s.next();
strLength+=tempWord.length();
numWord+1;
}
 
return strLength*15/numWord;
}

but it wont work

Yeah, and we got that way by practicing. We didn't get that way by asking other people to do our work for us.

You have several options. You could rephrase your question: How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
You could read through the basic tutorials: java tutorials - Google Search
Or you could fail. It's up to you.

Many programmers are self-taught, so you have a leg up on them. Stop complaining. Ask a specific question. Post some code. Make an effort. Or fail.

I foresee another moderator edit on its way
