I'm all new to programming and I have started to learn Java 2 months ago. I have been assigned to do a small program, and a part of this program I have to get the median from a 2D array. The 2D array consists 3 subjects and a (N) number of students. I have to get the median for each subject, but I can not really understand how I'm going to sort the numbers from each subject.
Any help, tips or suggestion from were I should start is really appreciated.
Considering arr is your 2D array containing double values. Use the following code
Arrays.sort(arr, Comparator<double[]>() {
public int compare(double a, double b) {
return Double.compare(a[0], b[0]);
}
});
Here Arrays and comparator are both available under java.util package. If you are using java 8, this can be done in a single line.
Arrays.sort(arr, (a,b) -> Double.compare(a[0], b[0]));
you can user java.util.arrays.sort() method.
import java.util.*;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String args[]) {
int N=10; // number of students
double[][] array = new double[3][N];
for (int i=0;i<3;i++)
for (int j=0;j<N;j++)
array[i][j]= // students scores
for (int i=0;i<3;i++) {
double[] temp = new double[N];
for (int j=0;j<N;j++)
temp[j]=array[i][j]; // create an array for each subject
Arrays.sort(temp); // sort each array
double median;
if (temp.length % 2 == 0) // find median for each case
median = ((double)temp[temp.length/2] + (double)temp[temp.length/2 - 1])/2;
else
median = (double) temp[temp.length/2];
System.out.println("Median of Subject " +(i+1)+" = " + median);
}
}
}
you can change data types as you want ...
