Question

I have this lab I've been trying to work on but I can't figure out how to complete it. Here are all the resources provided by the instructor.

LAB08, Array of Student Class objects – Selection Sort                                                                                 Points: 25

OBJECTIVE

To demonstrate the concept of sorting and index to an array

To demonstrate the Selection sort

To demonstrate sorting objects

REQUIRED

A report of your work, in a flat pocket folder, in the following order:

1.   Grade form                                                            Lab08GradeForm.doc

2.   This program description

3.   The source listing of the Student class                  Student.java

4.   The source listing of the StudentSort class            StudentSort.java

5.   Problem Analysis with Input, Output, Pseudocode (word processed)

6.   The listing of the source program                          Lab08.java

      Data dictionary (included as comments)

7.   Listing of the input file                                          Lab08StudentFile.txt

8.   Listing of the student name file                             Lab08Names.txt

9.   Listing of the expected results (already created)    Lab08ExpectedResults.xlsx

10. Listing of the output file                                        Lab08Report.txt

SPECIFICATIONS

Start with Lab06 or Lab07 and rename it as Lab08

There were two parts to Lab06:

Part1 – create an array of objects and then place values into the objects in the array

Part2 – retrieve the objects from the array and print a report

Lab08 will insert a step in between –- Sorting the array of objects

Using the Selection sort, sort the array in ascending order, by student name

Since the name is not in the Student objects, we will create a separate array (index) to sort the name. This array is an array of objects of the StudentSort class. I have created the StudentSort class (StudentSort.java). It consists of the subscript for the student in the Student array and that student’s name.

Create the StudentSort array at the same time you are creating the array of Students.

Use the student id to search for the student name. Create a StudentSort object with the subscript from the Student array and the student’s name. Insert it into the StudentSort array. You need a separate subscript for the StudentSort array.

Sort the StudentSort array in name order using the selection sort.

Then go through the StudentSort array in sequence, using the subscript from the StudentSort object to retrieve the Student object from the Student array.

Refer to Java11SelectionSort and Java12MoreStrings

Explanation / Answer

Hi, I have implemented Selection Sort method to sort array of StudenSort objects.

Since you have not posted the input files content, I do not know about Lab08Names.txt.

You can write code to read this file and pass StudentSort array in my function.

//Lab08

//this makes available all extra utilities from Java library including scanner
import java.util.*;

//this makes available all extras from Java library needed for files
import java.io.*; //needed for files

public class Lab08
{
   // FUNCTION TO SORT StudentSort array
   public static void selectionSort(StudentSort[] sortStudent)
{
int n = sortStudent.length;

// One by one move boundary of unsorted subarray
for (int i = 0; i < n-1; i++)
{
// Find the minimum element in unsorted array
int min_idx = i;
for (int j = i+1; j < n; j++)
if (sortStudent[j].getStudentName().compareTo(sortStudent[min_idx].getStudentName()) < 0)
min_idx = j;

// Swap the found minimum element with the first
// element
StudentSort temp = sortStudent[min_idx];
sortStudent[min_idx] = sortStudent[i];
sortStudent[i] = temp;
}
}

   public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException
   {//start of main method

       //declare a variable of type Scanner
       Scanner infileName = new Scanner(new FileReader("Lab06StudentFile.txt"));
       PrintWriter outfileName = new PrintWriter ("Lab06Report.txt");

       //variables and defined constants
       int stdId; //student id number
       int[] scores = new int[10]; //test scores
       int x = 0; //variable for a single instance of the student class
       int student = 0; //student variable initialized to zero
       Student[] arrayStudent = new Student[16]; //array of student class objects
       StudentSort[] sortStudent = new StudentSort[16];
       //create an instance of printwriter object
       outfileName.println("Student Grade Report");
       outfileName.println();
       outfileName.println("ID# Name /-------------------Test Scores----------------/ Total AdjTotal Avg");
       outfileName.println();

       //read score until end of file
       while(infileName.hasNext())
       {//start while loop
           stdId = infileName.nextInt();


           for (int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++)
           {
               scores[i] = infileName.nextInt();
           }

           Student std = new Student(stdId, scores);
           arrayStudent[x] = std;
           x++;
           student++;
       }//end while

       //Callig sort method
       selectionSort(sortStudent);

       for (int j = 0; j < arrayStudent.length; j++)   
       {//start for loop
           Student std = arrayStudent[j];
           outfileName.printf("%-5d", std.getStudentId());
           scores = std.getStudentGradeArray();
           outfileName.printf("%-20s", searchName(std.getStudentId()));
           for (int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++)
           {
               outfileName.printf("%-5d", scores[i]);
           }

           //write total, ajdusted total and adjusted average
           outfileName.printf("%8.0f%8.0f%8.0f",
                   std.getTotal(),
                   std.getAdjustedtotal(),
                   std.getAdjustedAverage());

           outfileName.println();

       }//end for loop

       outfileName.println();
       outfileName.printf ("Total "
               + "Students = %2d", student);
       infileName.close();
       outfileName.close();

   }//end of main

   public static String searchName(int searchNumber) throws FileNotFoundException
   {//begin method
       Scanner infileName = new Scanner (new FileReader("Lab06Names.txt"));

       boolean found = false;
       String returnName = "name not found";
       while (infileName.hasNext() && found == false)
       {//start while loop
           int stdId = infileName.nextInt();
           String searchName = infileName.nextLine().trim();
           {
               if(searchNumber == stdId)
               {
                   returnName = searchName;
                   found = true;
               }
           }
       }//end while
       infileName.close();
