Adding rows, columns, diagonals in a 2D array (java)

import java.util.Scanner;
class Main
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i, j;
Scanner reader = new Scanner (System.in);
int array[][] = new int[4][4];
System.out.println("Enter Numbers: ");
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
for (j = 0; j < 4; j++)
array[i][j] = reader.nextInt();
System.out.println("Square: ");
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
for (j = 0; j < 4; j++)
System.out.print(array[i][j] + " ");
System.out.println();
}
}
}
I have this code written in java that asks a user for 16 numbers and then prints the numbers in a 4x4 array. I have to find the sum of each individual column and each individual row and of each individual diagonal. I am not sure how to do that.

I do not know what you are even trying to do in your code, you just input and print 4x4 array. In java arrays are fixed you can use ArrayList and other built in classes to do this in easier way. This algorithm would be a good way for variable size of inputs since 4 can be replaced by any value:
int matrixWidthHeight = 4;
int rowSum[matrixWidthHeight];
int columnSum[matrixWidthHeight];
for (int i = 0; i < matrixWidthHeight; ++i) {
for (int j = 0; j < matrixWidthHeight; ++j)
rowSum[i] += arr[i][j];
for (int j = 0; j < matrixWidthHeight; ++j)
rowSum[i] += arr[j][i];
sumDiagonal1 += arr[i][matrixWidthHeight - i]; // / diagonal sum
sumDiagonal2 += arr[matrixWidthHeight - i][i]; // \ diagonal sum
}
I do not know how Java works behind the seen, but for array size of 4 you can do:
int rowSum[4];
int columnSum[4];
for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
rowSum[i] += arr[i][0];
rowSum[i] += arr[i][1];
rowSum[i] += arr[i][2];
rowSum[i] += arr[i][3];
columnSum[i] += arr[0][i];
columnSum[i] += arr[1][i];
columnSum[i] += arr[2][i];
columnSum[i] += arr[3][i];
sumDiagonal1 += arr[i][4 - i]; // / diagonal sum
sumDiagonal2 += arr[4 - i][i]; // \ diagonal sum
}
The first one is easy to adjust for all kind of sizes, but is N^2, the second one is N, but today this does not matter for matrix of 4x4, since it is 4 * 2 * 4 (32) loop ops, vs 4 loop ops isn't a big deal for today CPUs.

You can't change the length of an array after it's initialization in java. What you can do and should do here is to copy the content of the old array into a new array with more rows/columns. The same holds true for the diagonals.

In, Java, arrays are immutable in length, which means that you can't add or remove a column or row in your case. You might want to take a look at a Collection, such as ArrayLists. Those have an implementation which allows for scaling.
You can always read a bit more about Collections here.

How to print first five elements of an matrix in Java

My goal is to implement the following method in parallel:
public static double[][] parallelAddMatrix(double[][] a, double[][] b), then test my program on randomly generated two lists of size 2000 x 2000. Finally I have to output the first 5 elements of matrix a and matrix b, and also the first five elements of the result matrix, which is what I'm having trouble with.
This is the part of my code where I create the first and second matrix.
public static void main(String[] args) {
int var1, var2;
final int matrices = 2000;
// creates first matrix
double[][] matrixA = new double[matrices][matrices];
for(var1 = 0; var1 < matrixA.length; var1++)
for (var2 = 0; var2 < matrixA[var1].length; var2++)
matrixA[var1][var2] = 1;
// creates second matrix
double[][] matrixB = new double[matrices][matrices];
for (var1 = 0; var1 < matrixB.length; var1++)
for (var2 = 0; var2 < matrixB[var1].length; var2++)
matrixB[var1][var2] = 1;
And then later created a function to create the result matrix...
public static double[][] parallelAddMatrix( double [][] a, double[][] b) {
//creates output matrix
double[][] resultMatrix = new double[a.length][a[0].length];
RecursiveAction task = new multiProcess(a, b, resultMatrix);
ForkJoinPool joinPool = new ForkJoinPool();
joinPool.invoke(task);
return resultMatrix;
}
How can I print out the first five elements for each of the three matrices?
I've tried stuff for the first and second matrix such as initializing var3, then under the "matrixA(orB)[var1][var2] = 1;", I put
for (var3 = 0; var3 < 5; var3++) {
System.out.println(var3);
}
and also tried
for (var3 = 0; var3 < 5; var3++) {
System.out.print(matrixA[var1][var2] + "");
}
System.out.println();
Please help on this, and please tell where it would be placed for each one (I might have trouble with brackets).

You'll need a nested for loop to iterate through the matrix, and a counter to see how many entries you've printed. Let's start with the easiest part: iterating over the matrix. I'll assume that the matrix is simply called matrix.
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) {
System.out.println(matrix[i][j]);
}
}
You probably already figured that out. Now we need a counter to count how many times we've printed out an entry from the matrix.
int num_printed = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) {
System.out.println(matrix[i][j]);
num_printed ++;
}
}
Ok. So now we need to stop once we've reached the end. We can't just use one break statement, because, we have two for loops.
int num_printed = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) { // iterate over the rows
for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) { // iterate over the columns
if (num_printed == 5) { // if we've already printed five items, stop
break;
} else { // otherwise, print the next item
System.out.println(matrix[i][j]);
num_printed ++; // increment the counter
}
}
if (num_printed == 5) { // so that we don't go to the next row
break;
}
}
It's worth noting that you could create your own separate method, and only use a return statement:
public void print_five_elements() {
int num_printed = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < matrix.length; i++) { // iterate over the rows
for (int j = 0; j < matrix[i].length; j++) { // iterate over the columns
if (num_printed == 5) { // if we've already printed five items, stop
return;
} else { // otherwise, print the next item
System.out.println(matrix[i][j]);
num_printed ++; // increment the counter
}
}
}
}
More Specialized Approach
This approach allows you to use matrices that have less than five columns. However, since your matrix is 2000x2000, you could go for a much simpler approach. Use zero as the first index, and then just iterate up to five. Just keep in mind that this won't work if you have less than five columns:
public void print_five_elements_for_wide_matrix() {
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println(matrix[0][i]);
}
}

Since the matrices are of size 2000 x 2000, you do not need nested loops to display first 5 elements from each of them.
int i;
//Display first 5 elements of matrixA
for(i=0; i<5; i++) {
System.out.print(matrixA[0][i] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
//Display first 5 elements of matrixB
for(i=0; i<5; i++) {
System.out.print(matrixB[0][i] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
double[][] result = parallelAddMatrix(matrixA, matrixB);
//Display first 5 elements of result
for(i=0; i<5; i++) {
System.out.print(result[0][i] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
Note that the above loops print the first 5 elements of the first row (i.e. row at index, 0) of each matrix. However, if you want to print the first element of the first 5 rows, just swap the indices e.g.
System.out.println(matrixA[i][0] + " ");

Try this:
Think of the first set of brackets as the row and the second set as the column.
for (int row = 0; row < 5; row++) {
for (int col = 0; col < 5; col++) {
System.out.print(matrixA[row][col] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
Since "multi-dimensional" arrays are really arrays of arrays you can do it like this if you wanted to print out the whole matrix
for (double[] row : matrixA) {
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(row));
}
Because of this, each row can be a different length. So you may have to get the length to print them out like you first wanted to.
for (int row = 0; row < matrixA.length; row++) {
for (int col = 0; col < matrixA[row].length; col++) {
System.out.print(matrixA[row][col] + " " );
}
}
Rows of different length of a "2D" array are known as ragged-arrays.

Adding elements of an array that was decided through user input

I'm trying to add all the elements together in an array that was decided through user input, Every time I run the code that I've constructed below I get a number that is obviously not the sum of the elements. What am I doing wrong?
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SumProduct
{
public static void main (String []args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
int[] array1 = new int [input.nextInt()];
input = scan.nextInt();
for (int i = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
array1[i] = input.nextInt();
}
for (int i = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
int j = array1[i];
int k = array1[i]+1;
int sum = j + k;
System.out.print(sum);
}
}
}

You probably want to prompt the user to enter the size of the array if you're going to do this.This line of code is allowing whatever the user enters to be the size of your array.
int[] array1 = new int [input.nextInt()]; //this sets the size of the array through user input
scan doesn't exist in the currrent context:
input = scan.nextInt(); // this is invalid syntax as scan is not the Scanner you created
for (int i = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
array1[i] = input.nextInt();
}
I would do this to keep adding elements to the array:
// no need for this: input = scan.nextInt();
for (int i = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
System.out.println("Enter integer to add:");
array1[i] = input.nextInt();
}
This code will give you the sum of the elements if you just add one element at a time instead of two to the sum variable:
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
sum += array1[i];
System.out.print(sum); // this will print out sum after each addition
}
System.out.print(sum); // this will print out sum after the entire array is summed
Adding some logic to only allow the user to enter so many numbers to the array would be helpful as well. You will need to move on from them entering data into the array at some point. Then also remember to close the scanner when you're finished getting data from the user:
input.close();

Your problem is in the following lines of code:
for (int i = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
int j = array1[i];
int k = array1[i]+1;
int sum = j + k;
System.out.print(sum);
}
it should look something like
int sum = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < array1.length; i++)
{
sum = sum + array1[i];
}
System.out.print(sum);
The first change is to declare the variable "sum" outside of the loop. The way it's written, it will get declared, then disappear, then declared, then disappear for every loop iteration. You also probably want to initialize it to 0
The second change is to your summation logic. Lets assume your array contains the three numbers [1, 2, 3] and walk through your logic.
j = array1[0] //(j == 1)
k = array1[0] + 1 //(k == 1 + 1 == 2)
sum = j + k //(sum == 1 + 2 == 3)
You then throw out the variable "sum" like I mentioned earlier, and start over with the same logic on the second array element, then again on the third.
i.e. j = 2, k = 2+1, sum = 2 + 2 + 1. followed by j = 3, k = 3 + 1, sum = 3 + 3 + 1.
You can probably see how this isn't the sum, and results in you logging the three digits 3, 5, and 7 for this example case.
In my updated logic, we simply loop through each element and add it to the current running total.
hope this helps

How to compare two arrays of different sizes?

So my task is to read a file line by line and store the integers into an array. Then to add the integers in spots 1-5, 2-6, 3-7 etc. and store those into a new array.
In array 1 there is 4 more values than array 2. I need to compare these Arrays and see if array1 is 0.999 bigger than array2.
If it is indeed larger, I need to print out the LOCATION of the number in the array 1.
Right now my problem is my code is outputting that every number is larger than the corresponding number in array 2.
Code:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Asgn7
{
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException
{
Scanner file = new Scanner(new File("asgn7data.txt"));
double[] array = new double[file.nextInt()];
double[] newArray = new double[array.length - 4];
double tempVal = 0;
int j = 0;
int count = 0;
while(file.hasNext())
{
for(int i = 0; i < array.length ; i++)
{
array[i] = file.nextInt();
}
for(j = 0; j < array.length - 4; j++)
{
for(int k = 0; k < 5; k++)
{
newArray[j] += array[j+k] / 5;
}
}
for(int i = 2; i < array.length; i++)
{
if(array[i] > (newArray[i-2] + 0.999));
{
count++;
tempVal = count;
}
System.out.println(tempVal);
}
}
}
}
The values which should be compared are from 3-13.

Judging by the picture, you are not placing the values in the correct index in the second array, or you are not matching the correct ones.
If you want it to look exactly like in the picture, the second array should be declared:
double[] newArray = new double[array.length - 2];
And the loop to fill it should be changed to:
for(j = 2; j < array.length - 2; j++)
{
for(int k = -2; k <= 2; k++)
{
newArray[j] += array[j+k] / 5;
}
}
This will put the averages in the third, fourth, fifth... elements in newArray. And now you can compare them directly:
for(int i = 2; i < array.length - 2; i++)
{
if(array[i] > (newArray[i] + 0.999))
{
count++;
tempVal = count;
}
System.out.println(tempVal);
}
If you want to save the two unused spaces, as you originally did, rather than responding exactly to the picture, then you should calculate the values as you originally did. But remember to compare each element to the one two places before it and stop 2 places before the end.
Instead of
for(int i = 2; i < array.length; i++)
use
for(int i = 2; i < array.length - 2; i++)
To print the location, your construct with the count and tempVal is unnecessary. You just need to print i+1. Also note that you have a ; after your if. This means it's an empty if, and the block after it is always performed. Never have a ; after an if, for, while etc.

Not clear with what you are asking for in your question but without questioning what's the logic, by just looking at your code:
for(int i = 2; i < array.length; i++)
{
if(array[i] > (newArray[i-2] + 0.999));
{
count++;
tempVal = count;
}
System.out.println(tempVal);
}
}
if you relocate the system.out line as follows, I think you will get what you expect as follows:
for(int i = 2; i < array.length - 2; i++)
{
if(array[i] > (newArray[i-2] + 0.999));
{
System.out.println(tempVal);
// count++;
// tempVal = count;
}
}
}
PS: Please note that I have also changed the boundary for the loop to stop iteration on 13th member of the array, instead of 15.

Are you sure you're parsing the numbers correctly?
See Java: Reading integers from a file into an array
Why don't you print them out after parsing for verification?
btw, this will overflow the index of the 2nd array (since it is created using new double[array.length - 4]):
for(int i = 2; i < array.length; i++)
so does your code run?

2D Array in Java with number manipulation

My goal is to
Create a 5x5 array and fill it with random integers in the range of 1 to 25.
Print this original array
Process the array, counting the number of odds, evens, and summing all of the elements in the array.
Print the total odds, evens, and the sum.
Im not sure how to do it and my teacher is very confused and cannot help me. I was wondering if i could get some guidance.
Here is my code:
public class Processing {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Random Random = new Random();
int[][] Processing = new int[5][5];
for (int x = 0; x < 5; x++) {
int number = Random.nextInt(25);
Processing[x] = number;
}
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
Processing[i] = new int[10];
}
}
}

Please follow naming conventions for your variables. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_convention_(programming)#Java
Anyways, you have to nest your loops as follows:
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {
for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
yourArray[i][j] = random.nextInt(25);
}
}
i is the row number and j is the column number, so this would assign values to each element in a row, then move on to the next row.
I'm guessing this is homework so I won't just give away the answer to your other questions, but to set you on the right track, here's how you would print the elements. Again, use two nested loops:
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {
for(int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
// print elements in one row in a single line
System.out.print(yourArray[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println(); //return to the next line to print next row.
}
