Question

Write a program that accepts any number of homework scores ranging in value from 0 through

Answer 1

Answer:

This program is written in Java programming language.

It uses an array to store scores of each test.

And it also validates user input to allow only integers 0 to 10,

Because the program says the average should be calculated by excluding the highest and lowest scores, the average is calculated as follows;

Average = (Sum of all scores - highest - lowest)/(Total number of tests - 2).

The program is as follows (Take note of the comments; they serve as explanation)

import java.util.*;

public class CalcAvg

{

public static void main(String [] args)

{

 Scanner inputt = new Scanner(System.in);

 // Declare number of test as integer

 int numTest;

 numTest = 0;

 boolean  check;

  do

  {

   try

   {

     Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

    System.out.print("Enter number of test (1 - 10): ");

    numTest = input.nextInt();

    check = false;

    if(numTest>10 || numTest<0)

     check = true;

   }

   catch(Exception e)

    {

     check = true;

   }

  }

  while(check);

  int [] tests = new int[numTest];

//Accept Input

for(int i =0;i<numTest;i++)

{

System.out.print("Enter Test Score "+(i+1)+": ");

tests[i] = inputt.nextInt();

}

           //Determine highest

           int max = tests[0];

           for (int i = 1; i < numTest; i++)

           {

               if (tests[i] > max)

               {

                   max = tests[i];

               }

           }

           //Determine Lowest

           int least = tests[0];

           for (int i = 1; i < numTest; i++)

           {

               if (tests[i] < least)

               {

                   least = tests[i];

               }

           }

           int sum = 0;

           //Calculate total

           for(int i =0; i< numTest;i++)

           {

               sum += tests[i];

           }

           //Subtract highest and least values

           sum = sum - least - max;

           //Calculate average

           double average = sum / (numTest - 2);

           //Print Average

           System.out.println("Average = "+average);

           //Print Highest

           System.out.println("Highest = "+max);

           //Print Lowest

           System.out.print("Lowest = "+least);

}

}
