Sorting 2D Java Array

[Noah Stahl]

So for this project in school I need to sort a 2D array to look like this, http://imgur.com/ZX7EQWP.
Here is the code that I have.
File 1:

import java.text.DecimalFormat;

public class Assignment1 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    String[][] rainArray
            = {
                {"January", "3.03"},
                {"February", "2.65"},
                {"March", "3.79"},
                {"April", "3.56"},
                {"May", "3.71"},
                {"June", "3.43"},
                {"July", "4.35"},
                {"August", "3.50"},
                {"September", "3.78"},
                {"October", "3.18"},
                {"November", "2.99"},
                {"December", "3.56"}
            };
    
    DecimalFormat myFormatter = new DecimalFormat("##0.00");
    //DecimalFormat myFormatTotal = new DecimalFormat("##0.0");

    RainFall myRain = new RainFall(rainArray);

    System.out.println("The total rain is: " + myRain.getTotal() + ".");
    System.out.println("The average rain is: " + myFormatter.format(myRain.getAverage()) + "\"" + ".");
    System.out.println("The most amount of rain was in: " + RainFall.getLeastMonth() + "," + " which had " + RainFall.getLeastValue() + "\"");
    System.out.println("The most amount of rain was in: " + RainFall.getMostMonth()  +  "," + " which had " + RainFall.getMostValue() + "\"");
    System.out.println();
    RainFall.setOrder(rainArray);

  }

}

File 2:

public class RainFall {

private static String[][] rainArray;

public RainFall(String[][] rainArray) {

    this.rainArray = rainArray;

}

public String getTotal() {
	
	double sum = 0;
	int sumFoot = 0;
	int sumInches = 0;
	String finalSum = "";

    for (int i = 0; i < rainArray.length; i++) {
        sum += Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1]);
    }
   
    sumFoot = (int) (sum / 12);
    sumInches = (int) (sum % 12);
    finalSum = (sumFoot + "\'" + sumInches + "\"");
    
    return finalSum;
    
	
}

public double getAverage() {

    double sum = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < rainArray.length; i++) {
        sum += Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1]);
    }

    double average = (sum / rainArray.length);
    return average;

  }

public static double getLeastValue()
{
	double leastValue = Double.parseDouble(rainArray[0][1]);;
	String leastMonth = rainArray[0][0];

    for (int i = 0; i < rainArray.length; i++) {
        if(leastValue > Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1])){
        	leastValue = Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1]);
        	leastMonth = rainArray[i][0];
        }
    	
    }

    return leastValue;
}

public static String getLeastMonth()
{
	double leastValue = Double.parseDouble(rainArray[0][1]);;
	String leastMonth = rainArray[0][0];

    for (int i = 0; i < rainArray.length; i++) {
        if(leastValue > Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1])){
        	leastValue = Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1]);
        	leastMonth = rainArray[i][0];
        }
    	
    }

    return leastMonth;
}


public static double getMostValue()
{
	double mostValue = Double.parseDouble(rainArray[0][1]);;

    for (int i = 0; i < rainArray.length; i++) {
        if(mostValue < Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1])){
        	mostValue = Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1]);
        	String mostMonth = rainArray[i][0];
        }
    	
    }

    return mostValue;
}

public static String getMostMonth()
{
	double mostValue = Double.parseDouble(rainArray[0][1]);;
	String mostMonth = rainArray[0][0];

    for (int i = 0; i < rainArray.length; i++) {
        if(mostValue < Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1])){
        	mostValue = Double.parseDouble(rainArray[i][1]);
        	mostMonth = rainArray[i][0];
        }
    	
    }

    return mostMonth;
}

public static String setOrder(){

	int minIndex, minValue;
	
	for(int i = 0; i < (rainArray.length - 1); i++)
	{
		minIndex = i;
		minValue = rainArray[i][];
		
		for(int x = i + 1; x < rainArray.length; x++)
		{
			if(rainArray[x][] < minValue)
			{
				minValue = rainArray[x];
				minIndex = x;
			}
			
			
		}
		rainArray[minIndex] = rainArray[i];
		rainArray[i] = minValue;
	}
	
}

	

}

Welcome to the Ranch.

Do you have a question about the problem or the code?

[Noah Stahl]

Well it was about the code, but I did end up figuring it out. Thanks!

[Campbell Ritchie]

Welcome again. I presume you figured out how bad arrays are for that sort of thing, and how you ought to have created a Rainfall class. That can implement the Comparable interface.

[Aaron Morison]

Could someone figure out how to get the last bit to output his image?

public static String setOrder(){  
    int minIndex, minValue;  
      
    for(int i = 0; i < (rainArray.length - 1); i++)  
    {  
        minIndex = i;  
        minValue = rainArray[i][];  
    
        for(int x = i + 1; x < rainArray.length; x++)  
        {  
            if(rainArray[x][] < minValue)  
            {  
                minValue = rainArray[x];  
                minIndex = x;  
            }
        }
        rainArray[minIndex] = rainArray[i];  
        rainArray[i] = minValue;  
    }
}

Welcome to the Ranch

I added code tags to yoru code. Doesn't it look better.
