    <p>My question is about discarding the largest and smallest number when my program calculates an arithmetic mean.</p> <p>This is my code sample:</p> <pre><code>public static void main(String[] args) { int k; int r; int thelargest; int thesmallest; Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.println("Enter the list of number : "); String input2 = input.nextLine(); String[] numbers = input2.split(" "); int[] result = new int[numbers.length]; for (r = 0; r &lt; numbers.length; r++) { result[r] = Integer.parseInt(numbers[r]); } for (k = 0; k &lt; result.length; k++) { System.out.print(""); System.out.println(result[k]); } System.out.println(" LargestNumber : " + TheLargestNumber(result)); System.out.println(" SmallestNumber : " + TheSmallestNumber(result)); thelargest = TheLargestNumber(result); thesmallest = TheSmallestNumber(result); System.out.println("The Arithmetic Mean : " + AirthmeticMean(result)); } public static int TheSmallestNumber(int[] series) { int thesmallest = series[0]; for (int i = 1; i &lt; series.length; i++) { if (series[i] &lt; thesmallest) { thesmallest = series[i]; } } return thesmallest; } public static int TheLargestNumber(int[] series) { int thelargest = series[0]; for (int i = 1; i &lt; series.length; i++) { if (series[i] &gt; thelargest) { thelargest = series[i]; } } return thelargest; } public static float AirthmeticMean(int[] result) { int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i &lt; result.length; i++) { sum += result[i]; } return (float) sum / result.length; } </code></pre> <p>I tried to find the way and I wrote this sample but I don't know how to embed this code sample:</p> <pre><code> for (int i = 0; i &lt; result.length; i++) { if (series[i] != thesmallest &amp;&amp; series[i] != thelargest) { total = total + seriess[i]; } } </code></pre> <p>Will this code sample be helpful to me?</p>

    1. COWhen you iterate through the loop adding numbers, check for the largest and smallest number. Then after the loop is complete, subtract those numbers out of your sum. Easy as PI.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
