First thing: identify clearly the information you need to collect.
Second thing: identify clearly what you need to do with that information.
Third thing: identify, you guessed it, clearly how you can store both sets of information.
Fourth: write code to collect the information.
Fifth: test that code to verify it works.
Sixth: write code to compute additional information.
Seventh: test that code to verify it works.

My guess is that you are on step 1.

Program seems to be pretty simple, I'll post you the answer once I've finished the coding. When do you need this program to be done?

[icycold89]

You are Welcome.

I was waiting for your response. And I'll start doing the program tomorrow morning. And hopefully I can reply you tomorrow.

(Sometimes my methods may be lengthier but will be getting the proper output)

I also just started learning Java, not more than a week either. And for the moment I use only Notepad as my editor. Further thanks only after the code submission please. Don't worry it'll easily be done.

You only need to find out the first person. Its so simple. Just try it by your self.
