    Beginner: need help


    I am a beginner in Java.
    I wrote this code to get temperature of the days of the week, get the coolest,
    hotest and average. Everything looks fine, but when I run it I get wrong
    values for the hottest and coolest day.
    Can anybody tell me what is wrong?
    Please!!!



    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.text.DecimalFormat;

    public class Lab2Ex1
    {
    double daysOfWeek[] = new double[7];
    String nameOfDays[] = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday",
    "Friday", "Saturday"};

    public Lab2Ex1 (double inSun, double inMon, double inTues, double inWed,
    double inThur, double inFri, double inSat)
    {
    daysOfWeek[0] = inSun;
    daysOfWeek[1] = inMon;
    daysOfWeek[2] = inTues;
    daysOfWeek[3] = inWed;
    daysOfWeek[4] = inThur;
    daysOfWeek[5] = inFri;
    daysOfWeek[6] = inSat;
    }
    public double getAvgTemp()
    {
    return (daysOfWeek[0] + daysOfWeek[1] + daysOfWeek[2] + daysOfWeek[3] + daysOfWeek[4]
    + daysOfWeek[5] + daysOfWeek[6]) /7;
    }
    public String getHotestDay()
    {
    double min, max;
    min = max = daysOfWeek[0];
    String day;
    day = "";

    for (int i = 0; i < daysOfWeek.length; i++)
    {
    if(min > daysOfWeek[i]) {day = nameOfDays[i]; min = daysOfWeek[i];}
    }
    return day;
    }

    if(max < daysOfWeek[i]) {day = nameOfDays[i]; max = daysOfWeek[i];}
    }
    return day;
    }
    public String toString()
    {
    DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("##.##");

    + "\n\n" + "Coolest day = " + getCoolestDay() + "\n";
    }
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
    Lab2Ex1 temp = new Lab2Ex1 (12.5, 16.3, 25.5, 30.2, 19.5, 29.5, 10.5);

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, temp.toString());
    System.exit(0);
    }
    }

    Re: Beginner: need help

    i have made few changes just compare it with your code and i think you can
    understand it..

    import javax.swing.* ;
    import java.text.DecimalFormat ;

    public class Lab2Ex1
    {
    double daysOfWeek[] = new double[7] ;
    String nameOfDays[] =
    {
    "Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday",
    "Friday", "Saturday"} ;

    public Lab2Ex1 (double inSun, double inMon, double inTues, double inWed,
    double inThur, double inFri, double inSat)
    {
    daysOfWeek[0] = inSun ;
    daysOfWeek[1] = inMon ;
    daysOfWeek[2] = inTues ;
    daysOfWeek[3] = inWed ;
    daysOfWeek[4] = inThur ;
    daysOfWeek[5] = inFri ;
    daysOfWeek[6] = inSat ;
    }

    public double getAvgTemp ()
    {
    return (daysOfWeek[0] + daysOfWeek[1] + daysOfWeek[2] +
    daysOfWeek[3] +
    daysOfWeek[4]
    + daysOfWeek[5] + daysOfWeek[6]) / 7 ;
    }

    public String getCoolestDay ()
    {
    double min ;
    min = daysOfWeek[0] ;
    String day = nameOfDays[0] ;

    for (int i = 1 ; i < daysOfWeek.length ; i++)
    {
    if (min > daysOfWeek[i])
    {
    day = nameOfDays[i] ;
    min = daysOfWeek[i] ;
    }
    }
    return day ;
    }

    public String getHotestDay ()
    {
    double max = daysOfWeek[0] ;
    String day = nameOfDays[0] ;
    for (int i = 1 ; i < daysOfWeek.length ; i++)
    {
    if (max < daysOfWeek[i])
    {
    day = nameOfDays[i] ;
    max = daysOfWeek[i] ;
    }
    }
    return day ;
    }

    public String toString ()
    {
    DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("##.##") ;
    return "Mon Tue Wen Thur Fri Sat Sun\n" + daysOfWeek[0] + " \t" +
    daysOfWeek[1]
    + " \t" + daysOfWeek[2] + " \t" + daysOfWeek[3] + " \t" +
    daysOfWeek[4] +
    " \t" + daysOfWeek[5] + " \t" + daysOfWeek[6] +
    "\n\nAverage Temperature" +
    "= " + df.format(getAvgTemp()) + "\n\n " + "Hottest day = " +
    getHotestDay()
    + "\n\n" + "Coolest day = " + getCoolestDay() + "\n" ;
    }

    public static void main (String args[])
    {
    Lab2Ex1 temp = new Lab2Ex1(12.5, 16.3, 25.5, 30.2, 19.5, 29.5, 10.5)
    ;

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, temp.toString()) ;
    System.exit(0) ;
    }
    }

    Thank you for your response.
    I'm sorry but I cannot figure out the changes and anyway when I run it still
