Question

What is the easiest way to code this?

Write a program GymnasticScores.java that reads in seven gymnastics scores from the judges. Compute a final score based on the individual scores. Because of the judging biases, the highest and lowest scores must not be included in the average. Compute the average of the remaining five scores and print it out to 2 significant digits. Two example runs are shown below.

9.2
4.3
6.0
8.7
7.3
8.0
9.1
Average score: 7.82

5.0
9.1
6.8
4.777
10.0
2.258
9.0
Average score: 6.94

Answer 1

import java.util.*;

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

class GymnasticScores {

public static void main(String[] args) {

double scores[]=new double[7];

double high=0,low,sum=0,avg;

Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);

for(int i=0;i<7;i++){

scores[i]=sc.nextDouble();

}

low=scores[0];

for(int i=0;i<7;i++){

sum+=scores[i];

if(scores[i]>high)

high=scores[i];

if(scores[i]<low)

low=scores[i];

}

avg=(sum-low-high)/5;

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat();

df.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);

System.out.println("Average is : "+df.format(avg));

}

}
