Oh, . Thank you guys.

That's odd... What would cause you to get the correct value, but for me to get something way too high??

This is my latest code.

import hsa.Console; import java.io.*; import java.awt.*; public class RandomArray { static Console c; public static void main (String[] args) { c = new Console (); int option; do { //menu c.println("1. Generate Random Numbers and Calculate"); c.println("2. Exit"); option = c.readInt(); if (option == 1) { generatenumbers(); } } while (option != 2); } //Generates 15 randomly generated integers and calculates sum, average, max and min public static void generatenumbers () { long number[] = new long[15], maximum = number[0], sum = 0; long minimum = 100; for (int x=0;x < 15;x++) // assigns random numbers to the array at x { number[x]= (Math.round(Math.random()*99)+1); } for (int a=0; a < number.length; a++) // calculates maximum and minimum number { if (number[a] < minimum) { minimum = number[a]; } else if (number[a] > maximum) { maximum = number[a]; } } for (int a=0; a < 15; a++) { sum = sum + number[a]; } c.print("In this array of 15 randomly generated numbers the maxmimum number is " + maximum + " and the minimum number is " + minimum + ". The sum of the numbers is " + sum); for (int y=0;y < 14;y++) // displays numbers { c.println(number[y]); } } }

I thought that might be the issue Henry, however it doesn't seem to be that way.

To show... I ran the program and get these numbers:
83, 19, 30, 55, 7, 28, 49, 10, 15, 9, 32, 39, 74
The sum should be 450, however I receive a sum of 53144 from the program.

I understand why it should be < 1500 and > 15 but I get numbers with 5 digits such as 75615, depending on which values are assigned.

I'm looking, I don't see the issue... it would make sense I was getting a very large sum if I was accidentally assigning too many values to the array, but from what I see, I'm not..

Okay, that makes sense . The minimum value is working now, but the I still get a much too high of a number for the sum.

The length of the array is 15 and I'm assigning values for 0-14... ?

It gives me a value of 0 for the minimum value every time.
Sorry, I put the sum back to "sum = sum + number[a]". I had changed this when trying to get it to work, however even this still doesn't calculate the sum.

For whatever reason, the for loop can find the maximum value of the randomly generated array O.K., but when it tries to find the minimum or sum the array it is wrong.
Any help is appreciated! I've been working on this for days though it should be easy enough...
Thanks in advanced.
