is there a simpler way of doing this??

[outofmymind]

Ok this is the last question for today,

I'd like to know if theres a "shorter" way to solving this problem, oh and btw, i keep gtting a exception :(

here's the que:

Student number and Marks of all students in final of subject CSCI213 are written into a text file “exam.in”. (5 marks)
Write an application to do the following tasks:
•Find the average of marks of all students in the class
•Display the subject name as “CSCI213”, component name as “Class Test2” and the class average calculated by your program on the screen.
Sample Input: exam.in

67868 18
08552 11.5
49966 14
67169 15
78677 15
16998 13
44345 15
80324 10
40238 13.5
13973 8.5
83070 7.5
64165 9
76977 16
64350 16
64049 9
48367 7.5
65133 9.5
84999 11

48896 9.5
49733 6
65017 6.5
26783 9
92202 5
64153 10
20311 15

Expected Output: exam.out

CSCI213 Class Test 2 11


here's my work:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
 
public class 213Final{
    public static void main(String[]args)
    {
        int count=0;
        float sum=0;
        float avg=0;
        String s = new String();
 
        try
        {
            FileReader fr = new FileReader("test.txt");
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader (fr);
 
            StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer(s," ");
 
            int a;
            float b;
 
            while((s=br.readLine())!=null)
            {
                a =Integer.parseInt(t.nextToken());
                b = Float.parseFloat(t.nextToken());
                 sum = sum+b;
                 count++;
 
                //System.out.println(s);
            }
 
        }
 
        catch(EOFException g)
        {
             avg = sum/count;
            g.printStackTrace();
        } 
 
        catch (FileNotFoundException fn)
        {
            fn.printStackTrace();
        }
 
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
 
        try
        {
        FileWriter fw= new FileWriter("exam.out");
        BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(fw);
 
        bw.write("CSCI213    "+"" +"finalExam  "+avg);
        bw.flush();
        }
 
        catch(IOException q)
        {
            q.printStackTrace();
        }
 
 
 
    }
}

Thanks!!

looks a reasonable way of calculating the average by forming a sum as you read the data and dividing by the number of records read. Note your StringTokenizer should be inside the loop where you read the data, e.g.

                        while((s=br.readLine())!=null)
                        {
                        StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer(s," ");
                                a =Integer.parseInt(t.nextToken());
                                b = Float.parseFloat(t.nextToken());
                                 sum = sum+b;
                                 count++;
                       }
 

as an alternative to using a StringTokenizer have a look at Scanner for reading data

Thats quite simple already..

Thanks!!

Realise alos that calling
"20311 15".split(" "); returns the array {"20311", "15"} .

I read somewhere that there is always a simpler way.....
