How to compare two java arrays ?

[jamesy]

Hi guys so here is a project i am working on , i have  two arrays array "l1" and "s1" bacially "l1" holds the answers to the questions asked for the maths questions ,, when the person answers the question it is loaded into the other array "s1" from the scanner now i want to compare theses two arrays to see how much questions are right and how much are wrong therefore printing out some thing like "Wrong" and "Right", does any one have any ideas how i could go about it ? really stuck thanks guys for any help

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Math { 
public static void  main(String[] args) {
Scanner myScanner = new Scanner(System.in);
 	 boolean con = true;  
      int level;
      // main values
      int l1[] ={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36};
      int s1[]= new int[36];

I'm not sure if I understand your problem. I think You want to tell the user/player if his/her answers are correct or not.

 

for(int i=0 ; i<36 ; i++){
	if(l1[i]==s1[i])
		System.out.println("Answer "+i+" is correct");
	else
		System.out.println("Answer "+i+" is incorrect");
}

 

You have to check the array containing the correct answers and the one containing the user/players selected answers position by position and informing.

Building on what Fragsman said, you could also tell the user the correct answer using the array aswell (I think, using my very limited knowledge of Java);

 

This assumes you place the questions in a String array named 'q1'

 

for(int i=0 ; i<36 ; i++){
	if(l1[i]==s1[i])
		System.out.println("Answer " + i + " is correct");
	else
		System.out.println("Answer " + i + " (" + q1[i] + ") is incorrect. You put " + l1[i] + ". The correct answer was " + s1[i]);
}
