Maximum and Minimum numbers

Question

I created file that has students scores. I got the average of each of them, but now how do I find the maximum and minimum of each test. I tried but it just prints random numbers, and ideas?Also if i wanted to print out their grades with if else statements on a new file how would I do that?

Answer 1

For a start, you reinitialise maxq1 to 0 every time, you need to move where it's initialised before the while loop.

System.out.println(maxq1); also needs to be moved after the loop if you only want it to be displayed once, rather than on every iteration of the loop.

Answer 2

Move int maxq1 =0; before the while loop: at the moment you are resetting it at each record...
