Finding the max in a two dimensional array

I am writing a program and right now I am trying to print the maximum value of the items in the first row of the array. When I print out the result it is giving me is a crazy output that reads "D@3e25a5". Can someone please point me in the right direction?
   import javax.swing.*;
    public class Program  {
         public static double[] max(double[][] table){
         double[]max = new double[4];
                for(int col = 0; col < table.length;col++){
                    if(max[0] <table[0][col])
                    max[0] += table[0][col];
               return max;
       public static void main(String[] args) {
         double[][] price = {
                         {650.25, 700.00, 567.75, 625.00, 620.00},//tuition
                         {210.50, 121.75, 275.00, 182.75,0.00},//Books
                         {20.00,30.00,40.00,50.00,60.00},//fees
                         {25.00,25.00,0.00,15.00,20.00}};//parking
         String[] Names =  {"Howard", "Paul", "Dawn", "Derek", "David"};
      String[] expenses = {"Tuition", "Books", "Fees", "Parking"};
         System.out.println(max(price));
   }

When you use the statement return max; then it returns the reference to the max, not the actual values thats why you have got the strange output. You can print the maximum values using a for loop in the same method max(), so no need to return a value.
public static void max(double[][] table){
double[] max = new double[4];
     double max1;          
for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++){
max1 = table[0];
for(int j=1; j<5; j++){
if(max1 < table[i][j]){
max1 = table[i][j];
max[i] = max1;
for(int i = 0; i < max.length; i++){
System.out.println(max[i]);

  • How can I do two dimensional arrays?

    I am a C++ programmer and in C++ I am able make a two dimensional array and input the values that correspond to those cells.
    After I saw the proposals that you (experts) made I am going to share a little of the classified information that I was working for the undefeatable XO game.
    First step:My idea was to make a two dimensional array(in C++ we use the following syntex for two dimensional array{array[i][j]})
    I was wondering if I am able to make a two dimensional array using LABVIEW .
    Second step: Store the values of X or O inside the 2D array.And use maybe boolean variables(in C++ we use inaddition to that if statement).
    My second question :What can I do inorder to minimize the number of boolean vaariables?(also if statements in C++)
    Jupiter
    extinct when hell froze over

    This is a subroutine I use to check for a winner in a XO game.
    While playing, the main code replaces default 0's by 1's inside the 2D array of a single player.
    Then the main code calls this VI with the 2D array of that player and check for a winning game.
    Any board size is ok as long as you have equal number of cols & rows.
    So, enter 1's at any location in the "Score" 2D array and the code will check for a winning game.
    As you can see I don't use any boolean variables, except the return value of this VI (read function) 
    So to answer your second question; I minimized the use of boolean variables to 0 1! Is that ok for you?

  • Saving two dimensional array to a file

    I am trying to save a two dimensional array to a file.
    If I write a part of the whole array like Filename[1] it works fine.
    But the whole array will cause an Errormessage to appea:
    "cannot find symbol"
    Here is the Code:
      RandomAccessFile output = null;
        try
          output = new RandomAccessFile( "TestPlan.plan", "rw" );
          output.seek( output.length() );       // Dateizeiger an das Ende
          output.write( Karte );  // Zeile schreiben

    Seems that OutputStreamWriter and ByteArrayOutputStream can only handle one dimensional arrays, too.in that case, break down the arrays to single objects, and serialize them individually

  • How do I find the max value of scrollV in AS3?

    I used Ned's answer to get my 3 text fields scrolling together based on the value of one of them. Thanks Ned!
    The other two text fields scroll to match the 'parent' text field, but at the end - as you reach the last scroll position - the other two do not update and the 3 text fields are out of alignment. Its just at the end of the scroll. The rest of the scroll values align. I'm thinking if I can find the max scrollV value, I can force the other two to scroll one last time when that value is reached by the 'parent' text field.

    Thanks Rob! I knew it must be something available somewhere. That should allow me to do the needed calculations. Awesome.

  • Variable number of two dimensional arrays into one big array

    I have a variable number of two dimensional arrays.
    The first dimension is variable, the second dimension is always 7.
    i.e.:
    Object[][] array0 = {
    {"tim", "sanchez", 34, 175.5, "bla", "blub", "[email protected]"},
    {"alice", "smith", 42, 160.0, "la", "bub", "[email protected]"},
    Object[][] array1 = {

    {"joe", "smith", 42, 16.0, "a", "bub", "[email protected]"},
    Object[][] arrayi = ...I'm generating these arrays with a for-loop:
         for (int i = 0; i < filter.length; i++) {
              MyClass c = new MyClass(filter);
              //data = c.getData();
    Where "filter" is another array which is filled with information that tells "MyClass" how to fill the arrays.
    "getData()" gives back one of the i number of arrays.
    Now I just need to have everything in one big two dimensional array.
    i.e.:Object[][] arrayComplete = {

    Just brainstorming here:
    Why not put your actual data in a class and store that in a LinkedList (so you know the total number of elements for your multi-dimensional array). Then initalize your multi-dimensional array and populate it? Haven't tested the following, but thinking something along the lines of
    public class MyData {
         //data here
         public Object[] toArray() {
              //something similar to this
              return new Object[] = {"tim", "sanchez", 34, 175.5, "bla", "blub", "[email protected]"};
    LinkedList<MyData> data = new LinkedList<MyData>();
    data.add(mydata1);
    //however many times you need
    Object[][] arrayComplete = new Object[data.size()][7];
    for(int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++) {
         arrayComplete[i] = data.removeFirst().toArray();
    }Another option for knowing how many rows you would need might be using something like:
    int rows = 0;
    rows += array1.length;
    rows += array2.length;
    //etc...But is not entirely useful if you don't know how many variable arrays you have (although reflections might help if the name of the array variable is incremented systematically, someone told me earlier to avoid reflections since it could make debugging a LOT more difficult).

  • Problem returning a two-dimensional array in web service

    Hello. I'm having problems returning a two dimensional array in my web service. The service returns a MyClass[][] correctly, but the client receives a different one.
    I've done a test that returns a MyClass[1][1] an the client shows a MyClass[1][20]. All the MyClass objects returned in the array are the same and all it's fields are null. There's even an element of the array containing null instead of the object. As I say, the service creates the array ok, but the client gets other thing.
    I have other methods returning one-dimensional arrays MyClass[] and I have no problem.
    My system:
    WindowsXP
    Tomcat 5.5 (Axis 1.3?)
    JDK 1.5
    Eclipse 3.3
    My wsdl is generated with eclipse, although I've had to update my wsdd manually.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks.

    Does it have to be stored in an array?
    Because you could use the java.awt.Point class, and a
    java.util.Set to create random points until you have
    the correct number of unique points.Of course it is no must to store it in an array. it was just my first thought of approaching the problem. I will try the Point.class. Thanks for that hint.

    You don't learn much about coding if you don't write any code. Without seeing the code that was written it's very difficult to assist a person, since your solution may not be anywhere close to their solution. If the poster just wants the code to hand in or use as is then there is no learning happening.
    So, step 1 - post your code, step 1a - ask a clear question.

  • Set number of elements in a two dimensional array

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to set the number of elements in a two dimensional array directly in teststand.
    To set a one dimsional array is simple:
    SetNumElements( locals.somearray,4)
    Is there a method to do this for a two dimensional array?
    Sean

    From the help file (TestStand 4.2.0):
    PropertyObject.SetNumElements
    SetNumElements Method
    Syntax
    PropertyObject.SetNumElements ( numElements, options = 0)
    Purpose
    Sets the number of elements of a single dimensional array.
    Remarks
    This method is only valid for single dimensional arrays. The elements in the array retain their values. Use the PropertyObjectType.ArrayDimensions property to set the number of elements in each dimension of a multi-dimensional array.
    Parameters
    numElements As Long
    [In] New number of elements for the array.
    options As Long
    [In] Pass 0 to specify the default behavior, or pass one or more PropertyOptions constants. Use the bitwise-OR operator to specify multiple options.
    This parameter has a default value of 0.
    So you could use, for example: Locals.MultidimensionalArray.Type.ArrayDimensions.SetBounds({1,0},{3,4}) to set an array to have three dimensions (1,2,3), each with five elements (0,1,2,3,4).

  • Creating a Two Dimensional Array in Xcode and populating it with a values f

    Whats the easiest way to declare a two dimensional array in Xcode. I am reading an matrix of numbers from a text file from a website and want to take the data and place it into a 3x3 matrix.
    Once I read the URL into a string, I create an NSArray and use the componentsSeparatedByString method to strip of the carriage return line feed and create each individual row. I then get the count of the number of lines in the new array to get the individual values at each row. This will give mw an array with a string of characters, not a row of three individual values. I just need to be able to take these values and create a two dimensional array.

    I'm afraid you are in the wrong place. Look here for the last two forums on programming. However, XCode support is mostly found at developer.apple.com. You can access their forums by registering. Registration is free.
