Multipying array elements together

[Edward Amankwa]

I have tried the code below, but when run I get zero for total size.
package arrayoffset;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;


/**
*
*
*/
public class arrayOffset extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
int dim = 5;
private String theOutput = "";
private int [] collectinput1 = new int[dim];
private int [] collectinput2 = new int[dim];
private JLabel [] enter;
private JTextField [] input1;
private JTextField [] input2;
private JTextArea output;


/** Creates a new instance of arrayOffset */
public arrayOffset() {
// Collect the number of dimension from user
String num = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the number of dimension");
dim = Integer.parseInt(num);
Container con = getContentPane();
con.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
//layout components to collect data
enter = new JLabel [dim];
input1 = new JTextField[dim];
input2 = new JTextField[dim];
for(int i = 0; i<dim; i++)
{
enter [i]= new JLabel("Enter the upper and lower bounds for subscript:" + i);
con.add(enter[i]);
input1 [i] = new JTextField(2);
input1 [i].addActionListener(this);
con.add(input1[i]);
input2 [i] = new JTextField(2);
input2 [i].addActionListener(this);
con.add(input2[i]);
}

//add component to display data
output = new JTextArea(10, 25);
output.setEditable(false);
con.add(output);



setSize(450, 400);
setVisible(true);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent l)
{
int size [] = new int [dim];
int totalSize = 0;
//String [] myoutput = l.getActionCommand();

for(int j= 0; j<dim; j++)
{
collectinput1[j] = Integer.parseInt(input1 [j].getText());
collectinput2[j] = Integer.parseInt(input2 [j].getText());
size[j] = (collectinput2[j]+1)- collectinput1[j];
}
theOutput = "Index\tLower\t Upper\t Size\n";
for (int f=0; f < dim; f++)
{
totalSize *= size[f];
theOutput += f + "\t"+collectinput1[f] +"\t" + collectinput2[f]+"\t"+size[f]+"\n" ;
}
theOutput+="TotalSize\n" + totalSize;
output.setText(theOutput);
}
}

Welcome to JavaRanch!

totalSize is initialized to zero, and then "modified" with the following line...

totalSize *= size[f];

Note that this is like saying totalSize = 0 * size[f];

Thanks a lot Marc for your help. Sometime is not easy to see such mistakes.
