due at midnight - program compiles but has logic error(s)
- by Leslie Laraia
not sure why this program isn't working. it compiles, but doesn't provide the expected output. the input file is basically just this:
Smith 80000
Jones 100000
Scott 75000
Washington 110000
Duffy 125000
Jacobs 67000
Here is the program:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
/**

public class Election {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
// TODO code application logic here
File inputFile = new File("C:\\Users\\Leslie\\Desktop\\votes.txt");
Scanner in = new Scanner(inputFile);
int x = 0;
String line = "";
Scanner lineScanner = new Scanner(line);
line = in.nextLine();
while (in.hasNextLine())
{
line = in.nextLine();
x++;
}
String[] senatorName = new String[x];
int[] votenumber = new int[x];
double[] votepercent = new double[x];
System.out.printf("%44s", "Election Results for State Senator");
System.out.println();
System.out.printf("%-22s", "Candidate"); //Prints the column headings to the screen
System.out.printf("%22s", "Votes Received");
System.out.printf("%22s", "%of Total Votes");
int i;
for(i=0; i<x; i++)
{
while(in.hasNextLine())
{
line = in.nextLine();
String candidateName = lineScanner.next();
String candidate = candidateName.trim();
senatorName[i] = candidate;
int votevalue = lineScanner.nextInt();
votenumber[i] = votevalue;
}
}
votepercent = percentages(votenumber, x);
for (i = 0; i < x; i++)
{
System.out.println();
System.out.printf("%-22s", senatorName[i]);
System.out.printf("%22d", votenumber[i]);
System.out.printf("%22.2f", votepercent[i]);
System.out.println();
}
}
public static double [] percentages(int[] votenumber, int z)
{
double [] percentage = new double [z];
double total = 0;
for (double element : votenumber)
{
total = total + element;
}
for(int i=0; i < votenumber.length; i++)
{
int y = votenumber[i];
percentage[i] = (y/total) * 100;
}
return percentage;
