Question

My program is creating an array and allowing the user to input 10 double precision numbers. Then the program will sort them in order from lowest to highest. I have the following but receive .class expected error upon compiling. Any ideas on why this is happening? Note * I have not been able to compile this yet so I don’t even know if this will work. *

import java.io.*;

public class ArrayDemo
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
        int i = 0;
        int j = 0;
        int temp = 0;
        double[] intValue = new double[10];
        String[] numbers = {"first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", "sixth", "seventh", "eighth", "ninth", "tenth"};
        int len = intValue.length[];

        BufferedReader dataIn = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader(System.in));

        for (i = 0; i < len; ++i)
            System.out.println("Enter the " + numbers[i] + " number");
        intValue[i] = Double.valueOf(dataIn.readLine());

        {

        for (j = 0; j < (len - 1) -i; j++)
            if (intValue[j] > intValue[j+1]) 
            {
                temp = intValue[j];
                intValue[j] = intValue[j+1];
                intValue[j+1] = temp;
            }

        for (i = 0; i < 10; i++);
        {
            System.out.println("Array after sorting in ascending order");
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println(intValue[i]);

        }

        }
    }
}

Thank you for any input. 🙂

Answer 1

int temp = 0; should be double temp = 0;

and

int len = intValue.length[]; should be int len = intValue.length;

and

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++); should be for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)

        System.out.println("Array after sorting in ascending order");
        for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
