Java Array Question

[CarlMartin10]

I have written a program that prints the contents of an array that are above a certain number (called average). It does this perfectly, but ti prints the empty elements as well (i.e. values of 0.0). How can I stop Java from printing the empty elements, or what should I do to program this correctly? New to Java here, trying to teach myself.

Thanks.

CODE:

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;

// Create PriceArray Class
public class PriceArray
{

// Create main Method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create array to hold 5 prices, declare variables
double[] priceList = new double[5];
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

// Get prices from the user and put them into the priceList array
System.out.println("Please enter a price: ");
int price;
for (price=0; price < priceList.length; ++price)
{
System.out.print("Price "+(price+1)+": ");
priceList[price] = sc.nextDouble();
if (priceList[price]<0)
break;
}
System.out.println("Thank you!");
System.out.println("Total: " + sumArray(priceList));
System.out.println("Average: " + averageArray(priceList));
System.out.println("High Prices: " + formatList(highPrices(priceList, averageArray(priceList))));

}
// Create sumArray Method
public static double sumArray(double[] priceList)
{
// Declare variables
double sum = 0;

//Calculate the um of the elements in the PriceList Array
for (int i = 0; i < priceList.length; i++)
{
sum += priceList[i];
}
return sum;
}
// Create averageArray Method
public static double averageArray(double[] priceList)
{
// Declare variables
double average = 0;

//Calculate the um of the elements in the PriceList Array
for (int i = 0; i < priceList.length; i++)
{
average += priceList[i] / priceList.length;
}
return average;

}
// Create highPrices Method
public static double[] highPrices(double[] priceList, double average)
{
average = averageArray(priceList);
double[] highValues = new double[5];
int j=0;
for (int i=0; i < priceList.length; ++i)
if (priceList[i] > average) highValues[j++]=priceList[i];
return highValues;
}

// Create formatList Method
public static String formatList(double[] priceList)
{
StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
for (int i=0; i < priceList.length; ++i)
{
if (i!=0) result.append(", ");
result.append(priceList[i]);
}
return result.toString();
}

Refer to your method highPrices(...). In the last statement instead of " if (priceList[i] > average) highValues[j++]=priceList[i];"

assign to highValues elements only specific values that are higher than average price.
Try the following piece of code instead:

if (priceList[i] > average)
{
j++;
highValues[j]=priceList[i];"
}
