How do I shorten my main method to where it still functions?

I have a java code to read the length of an integer array, output the range, length of the gap, and any distinct elements inside. Additionally, it will output the numbers again with none repeated.
I would like to shorten the length of my main method.
My code produces the correct output, it is just very lengthy. Additionally, is there a way I can edit this main method to where it won't require a drastic change to my other methods? Thank you so much!

Sure thing. Here you go:
package arrayprograms;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class WIP{
static int LargestGap(int [] a, int n)
{
int diff = Math.abs(a[1] - a[0]);
for(int i = 1; i < a.length-1; i++)

return diff;
}
int range(int a[], int n)
{
int max1 = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)
{
if (Math.abs(a[i] - a[j]) > max1)
{
max1 = Math.abs(a[i] - a[j]);
}
}
}
return max1;
}
int numberOfDistinctElement(int a[], int n)
{
int num = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
{
int j = 0;
for (j = 0; j < i; j++)
if (a[i] == a[j])
break;
if (i == j)
num++;
}
return num;
}

int index = 0;
int[] distinct= new int[numberofDistinct];
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
int flag = 0;
for (int j = 0; j < i; j++){
if (a[i] == a[j]){
flag = 1;
break;
}
}
if (flag == 0){
distinct[index] = a[i];
index++;
}
}
return distinct;
}
static void showResults(int[] array, int num, WIP obj){
System.out.println("The largest gap in the array is "+WIP.LargestGap(array,num)+".");
System.out.println("The range of the array is "+obj.range(array,num)+".");
int numberofDistinct=obj.numberOfDistinctElement(array,num);
System.out.println("The number of distinct elements is "+numberofDistinct+".");
int[] distinctArray=obj.distinctElements(array,num,numberofDistinct);
System.out.print("The array of distinct elements is [");
for (int i = 0; i < distinctArray.length; i++)
if(i== distinctArray.length-1)
{
System.out.print(distinctArray[i]+"]");
}
else {
System.out.print( distinctArray[i]+ ",");
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int num;
WIP obj=new WIP();
System.out.print("Enter the length of the array:");
num = in.nextInt();
int array[] = new int[num];
System.out.print("Enter the elements of the array: ");
for(int i = 0; i < num; i++)
{
array[i] = in.nextInt();
}
in.close();
showResults(array, num, obj );
}
}

There's not a whole lot you can do, like most of the comments say, but you can remove and edit some of the braces around that aren't necessary for the bodies. Here is a rough draft of it. The only things you could change besides that is to store all of the WIP.tests in variables in one code block and then print them all out in another code block; which would improve readability.
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
WIP obj = new WIP();
System.out.print("Enter the length of the array:");
int num = in.nextInt();
int array[] = new int[num] ;
System.out.print("Enter the elements of the array: ");
for(int i = 0; i < num; i++)
array[i] = in.nextInt();
System.out.println("The largest gap in the array is " + WIP.LargestGap(array,num) + ".");
System.out.println("The range of the array is " + obj.range(array,num) + ".");
int numberofDistinct = obj.numberOfDistinctElement( array, num );
System.out.println("The number of distinct elements is "+numberofDistinct+".");
int[] distinctArray = obj.distinctElements(array,num,numberofDistinct);
System.out.print("The array of distinct elements is [");
for (int i = 0; i < distinctArray.length; i++)
if(i== distinctArray.length-1)
System.out.print(distinctArray[i]+"]");
else
System.out.print( distinctArray[i]+ ",");
in.close();
}

How to Output the Index of an Element in array

This was the task:
Design, implement and test programs to do each of the following:
a) Find the sum and number of positive integers in a list of 10 integers.
b) Find the smallest number in a list of 10 integers.
c) Determine and output the biggest and smallest numbers in a list of 10 integers.
The output should be of the form :
“The biggest number 304 was at position 3 in the list”
“The smallest number 4 was at position 8 in the list”
So I tried it and the Problem is that everything works except to give me the position of the biggest and smallest number.
import java.util.Arrays;
public class a5_2 {
#SuppressWarnings("unlikely-arg-type")
public static void main (String [] args) {
int m [] = {-3,23,7,12,4,-44,2,21,3,43} ;
System.out.println("Array: " + Arrays.toString(m));
int[] pos = findNumber(m);
System.out.println("Array without negatives: ");
for (int i = 0; i < pos.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(pos[i]);
}
System.out.println("Number of pos num: " + pos.length);
int sum = 0;
for (int i : pos)
sum += i;
System.out.println("Sum of pos num: " + sum);
int [] small = findSmallest(pos);
System.out.println("Smallest Number: ");
System.out.println(small[0] + " at pos: " + Arrays.asList(pos).indexOf(small[0]));
int [] big = findBiggest(pos);
System.out.println("Biggest Number: ");
System.out.println(big[0] + " at pos: " + Arrays.asList(pos).indexOf(big[0]));
}
public static int [] findNumber(int[] sum) {
int num = 0;
int n [] = new int [sum.length];
for(int i = 0; i < sum.length; i++)
{
if (sum[i] > 0)
{
n[num] = sum[i];
num++;
}
}
int [] pos = new int [num];
for (int k = 0 ; k < num ; k++)
{
pos[k] = n[k];
}
return pos;
}
public static int [] findSmallest(int[] pos) {
int temp;
for (int i = 0; i < pos.length; i++)
{
for (int j = i + 1; j < pos.length; j++)
{
if (pos[i] > pos[j])
{
temp = pos[i];
pos[i] =pos[j];
pos[j] = temp;
}
}
}
return pos;
}
public static int [] findBiggest(int[] pos) {
int temp;
for (int i = 0; i < pos.length; i++)
{
for (int j = i + 1; j < pos.length; j++)
{
if (pos[i] < pos[j])
{
temp = pos[i];
pos[i] =pos[j];
pos[j] = temp;
}
}
}
return pos;
}
}
Output of the position is -1 instead of the output it should give.
Thank you guys in advance :)

Arrays.asList(pos) is converting into List<int[]> convert it into List<Integer> and then get the index
List<Integer> comArray = Arrays.stream(m).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
System.out.println(small[0] + " at pos: " + comArray.indexOf(small[0]));
In java-7, i believe you know already how to convert int[] to List<integer>
List<Integer> comArray = new ArrayList<>();
List<Integer> intList = new ArrayList<Integer>();
for (int i : m)
{
intList.add(i);
}
Verified Code
#SuppressWarnings("unlikely-arg-type")
public static void main (String [] args) {
int m [] = {-3,23,7,12,4,-44,2,21,3,43} ;

{

}
}
}
return pos;
}
}
Output
Array: [-3, 23, 7, 12, 4, -44, 2, 21, 3, 43]
Array without negatives:
23
7
12
4
2
21
3
43
Number of pos num: 8
Sum of pos num: 115
Smallest Number:
2 at pos: 6
Biggest Number:
43 at pos: 9

because Arrays.asList(pos) return List<int[]> not List<Integer>.

Java - Sorting a 2D Array by Row Sum

Trying to write a method that swaps the rows of a 2D array in order of increasing row sum.
For example, if I have the following 2d array:
int [][] array = {4,5,6},{3,4,5},{2,3,4};
I would want it to output an array as so:
{2 3 4}, {3 4 5}, {4 5 6}
Methodology:
a.) take the sums of each row and make a 1D array of the sums
b.) do a bubble sort on rowSum array
c.) swap the rows of the original array based on the bubble sort swaps made
d.) then print the newly row sorted array.
Here's my code so far:
public void sortedArrayByRowTot() {
int [][] tempArray2 = new int [salaryArray.length [salaryArray[0].length];
for (int i = 0; i < tempArray2.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < tempArray2[i].length; j++) {
tempArray2[i][j] = salaryArray[i][j];
}
}
int [] rowSums = new int [tempArray2.length];
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < tempArray2.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < tempArray2[i].length; j++) {
sum += tempArray2[i][j];
}
rowSums[i] = sum;
sum = 0;
}
int temp;
int i = -1;
for(int j = rowSums.length; j > 0; j--){
boolean isSwap = false;
for (i = 1; i < j; i++) {
if(rowSums[i-1] > rowSums[i]) {
temp = rowSums[i-1];
rowSums[i-1] = rowSums[i];
rowSums[i] = temp;
isSwap = true;
}
}
if(!isSwap){
break;
}
}
for (int k = 0; k < tempArray2.length; k++) {
temp = tempArray2[i-1][k];
tempArray2[i-1][k] = tempArray2[i][k];
tempArray2[i][k] = temp;
}
for (int b = 0; b < tempArray2.length; b++) {
for (int c = 0; c < tempArray2[b].length; c++) {
System.out.print(tempArray2[b][c] + " ");
}
}
}
}
Not sure if I am doing part c of my methodology correctly?
It keeps saying "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 2"

As #shmosel said, you can do it like this:
public static void sortedArrayByRowTot() {
int [][] array = {{4,5,6},{3,4,5},{2,3,4}};
Arrays.sort(array, Comparator.comparingInt(a -> IntStream.of(a).sum()));
}

I was able to solve my question. Thanks.
public void sortedArrayByRowTot() {
//Creates tempArray2 to copy salaryArray into
int [][] tempArray2 = new int [salaryArray.length][salaryArray[0].length];
//Copies salaryArray into tempArray2
for (int i = 0; i < salaryArray.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < salaryArray[i].length; j++) {
tempArray2[i][j] = salaryArray[i][j];
}
}
//Creates rowSum array to store sum of each row
int [] rowSums = new int [tempArray2.length];
for (int i = 0; i < tempArray2.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < tempArray2[0].length; j++) {
rowSums[i] += tempArray2[i][j];
}
}
//Modified Bubble Sort of rowSum array (highest to lowest values)
int temp;
int i = 0;
for(int j = rowSums.length; j > 0; j--){
boolean isSwap = false;
for (i = 1; i < j; i++) {
if(rowSums[i-1] < rowSums[i]) {
temp = rowSums[i-1];
rowSums[i-1] = rowSums[i];
rowSums[i] = temp;
isSwap = true;
//swaps rows in corresponding tempArray2
int [] temp2 = tempArray2[i-1];
tempArray2[i-1] = tempArray2[i];
tempArray2[i] = temp2;
}
}
if(!isSwap){
break;
}
}
//Prints sorted array
System.out.println("Sorted array: ");
for (i = 0; i < tempArray2.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < tempArray2[i].length; j++) {
System.out.print("$"+ tempArray2[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}

You may try this way. That I have solved.
public class Solution{
public static void sortedArrayByRowTot() {
int [][] salaryArray = { {4,5,6},{3,4,5},{2,3,4} };
int [][] tempArray2 = new int [salaryArray.length][salaryArray[0].length];
for (int i = 0; i < salaryArray.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < salaryArray[i].length; j++) {
tempArray2[i][j] = salaryArray[i][j];
}
}
// Buble Sort to store rowSums

for (int i = 0; i < tempArray2.length; i++) {

rowSums[i] += tempArray2[i][j];
}
}
//Buble Sort by Rows Sum (Lowest Value to Highest)

}
}

Java - How to Solve this 2D Array Hour Glass?

I am working on a problem where I've to print the largest sum among all the hourglasses in the array. You can find the details about the problem here-
What I tried:
public class Solution {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int arr[][] = new int[6][6];
for (int arr_i = 0; arr_i < 6; arr_i++) {
for (int arr_j = 0; arr_j < 6; arr_j++) {
arr[arr_i][arr_j] = in.nextInt();
}
}
int sum = 0;
int tmp_sum = 0;
for (int arr_i = 0; arr_i < 4; arr_i++) {
for (int arr_j = 0; arr_j < 4; arr_j++) {
if (arr[arr_i][arr_j] > 0) {
sum = sum + (arr[arr_i][arr_j]) + (arr[arr_i][arr_j + 1]) + (arr[arr_i][arr_j + 2]);
sum = sum + (arr[arr_i + 1][arr_j + 1]);
sum = sum + (arr[arr_i + 2][arr_j]) + (arr[arr_i + 2][arr_j + 1]) + (arr[arr_i + 2][arr_j + 2]);
if (tmp_sum < sum) {
tmp_sum = sum;
}
sum = 0;
}
}
}
System.out.println(tmp_sum);
}
}
Input:
1 1 1 0 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 0
1 1 1 0 0 0
0 9 2 -4 -4 0
0 0 0 -2 0 0
0 0 -1 -2 -4 0
Output:
12
Expected Output:
13
Screenshot:
I don't know where I'm doing wrong. I cannot understand why the expected output is 13. According to the description given in the problem it should be 10. Is this a wrong question or my understanding about this is wrong?

Remove the if (arr[arr_i][arr_j] > 0) statement. It prevents finding the answer at row 1, column 0, because that cell is 0.
Comments for other improvements to your code:
What if the best hourglass sum is -4? You should initialize tmp_sum to Integer.MIN_VALUE. And name it maxSum, to better describe it's purpose.
You shouldn't define sum outside the loop. Declare it when it is first assigned, then you don't have to reset it to 0 afterwards.
Your iterators should be just i and j. Those are standard names for integer iterators, and keeps code ... cleaner.
If you prefer longer names, use row and col, since that is what they represent.
You don't need parenthesis around the array lookups.
For clarity, I formatted the code below to show the hourglass shape in the array lookups.
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int arr[][] = new int[6][6];
for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++){
for (int j = 0; j < 6; j++){
arr[i][j] = in.nextInt();
}
}
int maxSum = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
int sum = arr[i ][j] + arr[i ][j + 1] + arr[i ][j + 2]
+ arr[i + 1][j + 1]
+ arr[i + 2][j] + arr[i + 2][j + 1] + arr[i + 2][j + 2];
if (maxSum < sum) {
maxSum = sum;
}
}
}
System.out.println(maxSum);

This was my solution. I wrapped an if statement around the code that calculates the sum, that makes sure we don't go out of bounds.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int arr[][] = new int[6][6];
int max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
int tempMax = 0;
for(int i=0; i < 6; i++){
for(int j=0; j < 6; j++){
arr[i][j] = in.nextInt();
}
}
for(int i=0; i < 6; i++){
for(int j=0; j < 6; j++){
if (i + 2 < 6 && j + 2 < 6) {
tempMax += arr[i][j] + arr[i][j + 1] + arr[i][j + 2];
tempMax += arr[i + 1][j + 1];
tempMax += arr[i + 2][j] + arr[i + 2][j + 1] + arr[i + 2][j + 2];
if (max < tempMax) {
max = tempMax;
}
tempMax = 0;
}
}
}
System.out.println(max);
}

Here's the simple and easy to understand C# equivalent code for your hourglass problem.
class Class1
{
static int[][] CreateHourGlassForIndex(int p, int q, int[][] arr)
{
int[][] hourGlass = new int[3][];
int x = 0, y = 0;
for (int i = p; i <= p + 2; i++)
{
hourGlass[x] = new int[3];
int[] temp = new int[3];
int k = 0;
for (int j = q; j <= q + 2; j++)
{
temp[k] = arr[i][j];
k++;
}
hourGlass[x] = temp;
x++;
}
return hourGlass;
}
static int findSumOfEachHourGlass(int[][] arr)
{
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.Length; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < arr.Length; j++)
{
if (!((i == 1 && j == 0) || (i == 1 && j == 2)))
sum += arr[i][j];
}
}
return sum;
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[][] arr = new int[6][];
for (int arr_i = 0; arr_i < 6; arr_i++)
{
string[] arr_temp = Console.ReadLine().Split(' ');
arr[arr_i] = Array.ConvertAll(arr_temp, Int32.Parse);
}
int[] sum = new int[16];
int k = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++)
{
int[][] hourGlass = CreateHourGlassForIndex(i, j, arr);
sum[k] = findSumOfEachHourGlass(hourGlass);
k++;
}
}
//max in sum array
Console.WriteLine(sum.Max());
}
}
Happy Coding.

Everything works except the method, i'm trying to get average of a column from a matrix that consist of random numbers. number of rows and columns is defined by typing from scanner.

You aren't defining your array a anywhere that I can see;
int[][] a = { { 1, 2 }, { 3, 4 } };
System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(a));
// ...
prumerSloupce = aritmetickyPrumerSloupce(a, column);
and your function should be using a.length like
public static float aritmetickyPrumerSloupce(int[][] a, int column) {
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++)
sum += a[i][column];
return sum / (float) a.length;
}
