Question

Here are 10 basketball players with their average points per game.       

Adam, John, Charlie, Doug, Tommy, Frank, Gerry, Henry, Bill,   Jimmy

5.8,      10.7,     15.3,    9.0,     13.4,     21.1,   9.2,     14.5,  11.3, 7.5

Write a Java program to identify and print out the player names with the highest and lowest average point per game. You must use arrays or array lists to solve this problem.

Answer 1

BaskkeBallTest.java

public class BaskkeBallTest {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
       String players[] = {"Adam", "John", "Charlie", "Doug", "Tommy", "Frank", "Gerry", "Henry", "Bill", "Jimmy"};
       double points[] = {5.8, 10.7, 15.3, 9.0, 13.4, 21.1, 9.2, 14.5, 11.3, 7.5};
       double max = points[0], min = points[0];
       String    highestPlayer = players[0], lowestPlayer = players[0];
       for(int i=0;i<points.length;i++) {
           if(max < points[i]) {
               max = points[i];
               highestPlayer = players[i];
           }
           if(min > points[i]) {
               min = points[i];
               lowestPlayer = players[i];
           }
       }
       System.out.println("Higest Player: "+highestPlayer);
       System.out.println("Lowest Player: "+lowestPlayer);
   }

}

Output:

Higest Player: Frank
Lowest Player: Adam
