Anyone have any experience with java?

I need to write a program using loops and if else/switch statements which will prompt the user to enter a number of students, and each of their names and scores, and then print the name of the student with the highest score. I really don't even know where to begin, please help!

I liked the way mine sounded, even if it is wrong.

While (true) { System.out.println ("Do it yourself") } That should work.brandontwb

Did you import java.initiative?brandontwb

Do you need to keep track of all students and corresponding grades? dave123321

I you can't do a simple program like this one how will you ever get better? The only way to learn is to beat your head at the problem until your brain figures it out.

I'm not familiar with Java syntax, I/O functions, etc., but here's the basic pseudocode:

var NumStudents: int;
var HighestGrade: int;
var BestStudent: String;

// Input NumStudents

HighestGrade = -1;
BestStudent = "(No Data Entered)";

while (NumStudents--)
{
var InputGrade: int;
var InputName: string;
// Input name and grade.
if (InputGrade > HighestGrade)
{
HighestGrade = InputGrade;
BestStudent = InputName;
}
}

// Output BestStudent and HighestGrade.

use arrays with for loop to import the data and include a line that compares every array to find the highest i just started java (headfirst books are awesome ) havent started loops yet but from with my pascal knowledge i could write program like that in few minutes :)Farkeman

The pseudocode is pretty much correct. You should try to figure out why. dave123321

Because everyone in your class fails?

Why don't you ask on the java or elicpse forums? You will more than likely get the help you are looking for.

When I had trouble with silverlight, I asked most of my questions on silverlight forums and got what I needed.
