How to input Strings into a 2D array

I have this code and I need to export the strings 'Name','Testav','HWav','Lows','grade' into a 2D array with the columns being the following respectively. I then need to export the 2D array into a csv file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

Broadly, you need to open a file with the name you require, and a writer in a loop - like this:
File csvFile = new File(csvName);
try (PrintWriter csvWriter = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(csvFile));){
for(String item : list){
csvWriter.println(item);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
//Handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
}
Obviously you will have to print some commas as required

SPOJ Time Limit Exceeded - GENERAL

I'm trying to solve this problem of SPOJ: http://br.spoj.com/problems/GENERAL/
My solution works in Ideone (http://ideone.com/Xj2B9Y), but when I put the same solution in SPOJ, it reports that TLE - Time Limit Exceeded.
I have searched in the Internet to find a solution to improve my code. I replaced the "Scanner" by "BufferedReader", but I keep getting the message TLE.
Please could someone tell me where I am going wrong?

Array throws NullPointerException in Java

I have the following little problem... I have this code that uses the method OpenFile() of one class ReadData to read a .txt file and also I have another class ArraysTZones used to create an object that stores 3 arrays (data1,data2,data3) and 3 integers (total1,total2,total3) returned by the method OpenFile(). The problem is that when I try to display each array (data1,data2,data3) using the method getArray() of ArrayTZones it stops and displays the error NullPointerException. Anyone knows how could I fix this?
public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException {
String fileName = ".//data.txt";
int[] def = new int[180];
try {
ReadData file = new ReadData(fileName);
ArraysTZones summaryatz = new ArraysTZones();
summaryatz = file.OpenFile();
for (int i = 0; i < 180; i++)
System.out.print (summaryatz.getArray1()[i] + " ");
System.out.println ("");
System.out.println (summaryatz.getTotal1());
for (int i = 0; i < 180; i++)
System.out.print (summaryatz.getArray2()[i] + " ");
System.out.println ("");
System.out.println (summaryatz.getTotal2());
for (int i = 0; i < 180; i++)
System.out.print (summaryatz.getArray3()[i] + " ");
System.out.println ("");
System.out.println (summaryatz.getTotal3());
}
catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
Heres OpenFile()
public ArraysTZones OpenFile() throws IOException {
FileReader reader = new FileReader(path);
BufferedReader textReader = new BufferedReader(reader);
int numberOfTimeZones = 3;
int[] data1 = new int[180];
int[] data2 = new int[180];
int[] data3 = new int[180];
int total1 = 0;
int total2 = 0;
int total3 = 0;
ArraysTZones atz = new ArraysTZones();
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfTimeZones; i++){
if (i == 0) {
String firstTimeZone = textReader.readLine();
String[] val = firstTimeZone.split ("\\s+");
for (int u = 0; u < val.length; u++)
{
int stats = (int)(Math.ceil(Math.abs(Double.parseDouble(val[u]))));
total1 += stats;
data1[u] = stats;
}
total1= total1/180;
atz.setTotal1(total1);
atz.setArray1(data1);
}
else
if (i == 1) {
String secondTimeZone = textReader.readLine();
String[] val = secondTimeZone.split ("\\s+");
for (int u = 0; u < val.length; u++)
{
int stats = (int)(Math.ceil(Math.abs(Double.parseDouble(val[u]))));
total2 += stats;
data2[u] = stats;
}
total2= total2/180;
atz.setTotal2(total2);
atz.setArray2(data2);
}
else {
String thirdTimeZone = textReader.readLine();
String[] val = thirdTimeZone.split ("\\s+");
for (int u = 0; u < val.length; u++)
{
int stats = (int)(Math.ceil(Math.abs(Double.parseDouble(val[u]))));
total3 += stats;
data3[u] = stats;
}
total3= total3/180;
atz.setTotal3(total3);
atz.setArray3(data3);
}
}
textReader.close();
return atz;
}
The getArray()
public int[] getArray1 () {
return data1;
}
And setArray()
public void setArray1 (int[] farray) {
int[] data1 = new int[180];
//int[] farray = new int[180];
data1 = farray;
}

The problem seems to be here
public void setArray1 (int[] farray)
{
int[] data1 = new int[180];
//int[] farray = new int[180];
data1 = farray;
}
You're declaring a new variable called data1 and storing the content of farray to it.
After that method is done, that variable will be removed, due to his scope.
Remove int[] from the line int[] data1 = new int[180]; (or just remove the whole line .. it is unnecessary) and your data will be stored in the correct variable that was declared for the class.
public void setArray1 (int[] farray) {
data1 = farray;
}

You have to initialize ArraysTZones

Java Serialization issues

I have this code that writes an object:
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("Model.ser");
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOut);
out.writeObject(this);
out.close();
fileOut.close();
And this code that loads the object:
Model m = null;
try {
FileInputStream fileIn = new FileInputStream("Model.ser");
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fileIn);
m = (Model) in.readObject();
in.close();
fileIn.close();
} catch (Exception e) {}
setStudentList(m.getStudentList());
setModuleList(m.getModuleList());
I'm pretty sure that saving works, as when I opened the file in notepad++ I saw most of the data that I had saved, but when I load there is no data in module list.

Look at your code sample, in particular the switch statement:
switch (input) {
...
case "8" :
break;
...
}
I'd assume the method loadSerialized should be called there but it's missing and is not called anywhere else in the code.
Once you actually call the method that does the loading, the code will work, assuming you have declared a serialVersionUID for both Student and Module.
Edit: why using serialization to persist objects is a bad idea
In simple terms, using serialization to persist objects is brittle.
An object's serialized form is tied to its class. Classes tend to change over time, meaning the serialized instance of the old cannot be loaded into the new.
While you can work round this by setting a serialVersionUID doing so introduces a reverse of the problem where, in the case new fields are introduced, the new cannot be read into objects of the old class, which can be a problem if you do rolling updates to the deployed system.
There's a host of other reasons - it's not easily readable (meaning you can't update it like you would a database or XML/JSON doc), it's inefficient, etc.
