Program 3 Java Due: Nov 1, 2005
Write a Java program that has three parallel arrays defined in the following way:
name: age: qpa:
Ozzy 15 1.23
Madonna 14 3.52
Pele 17 3.41
Maradonna 14 2.88
Posh 16 2.65
Leonardo 18 3.87
Parallel arrays are set up so that each array, for a given index value, contains information
that is related. For example, the person in array name[index = 2] has a grade average in
array qpa[index=2], and the age of the person is age[index=2] years old. So “Pele” is 17
years old and has a qpa equal to 3.41.
Create these arrays with these initial values stored in them. Write a program that has
three public static functions defined in the following table:
Method name Return type Input arguments Actions
top_of_class String name[], qpa[] Exams entries in array qpa and
returns the name of the person
with the highest qpa.
avg double qpa Returns the average qpa of all
people.
how_old int name[], target,
age[]
Returns the age of the person
whose name is stored in
variable target [String]
Your main method will have a loop that will ask the user what option she wants to take
and display 4 choices:
1. find and display the student with the highest qpa
2. calculate and display the average qpa for all students
3. find the age of a specific person [this will require an additional input for a
name], display the name and age
4. quit
While the user selects 1 through 3, process the request by calling the appropriate method,
display the 4 options and ask the user for her input. Keep processing requests until the
user selects option 4.
Document each method in your program with internal comments. Turn in your program
according to usual submission instructions.
