In the getLowestScore and getSecondLowestScore methods, how do you compare all 10 values to get the lowest and second lowest scores? |

I found out how to get the lowest but how can I find the second lowest? Do I have to involve the lowest in that method? |

I used a string accumulator for getting the two lowest scores. Every score that is inputted by the user is added to a string accumulator. Once the user was done adding scores, the accumulator would have 10 numbers + 10 spaces after each number. I then create a new string y that temporary stores information. I also create an integer x with the highest score at 100.0. Since the string accumulator is a string, I can use a for loop and iterate for each charAt(i) until the length of the accumulator. If that string converted to an integer is less than x, i change x to that integer. That way, the program will keep checking for the lowest score. Finding the second lowest score would be to define a new variable, then setting that variable equal to the highest score, before the highest score is converted to the temporary string. Hope this makes sense. This would use a method that uses a string parameter and a integer return type. |
