How to avoid overriding?

Question

Hallo guys,

I have written a programm in which I want to store points in an array by using a methode.

My code:
//created an object
Student s1=new Student();

//calling the method inputPoints
s1.inputPoints(3);
s1.inputPoints(1);

public class{

int counter;
int[]n;
int average;
int sum;

public float inputPoints(int p)
{
counter++;

n=new int[counter];

for(int i=0;i<counter;i++)
{
n[i]=note;
}

for(int i=0;i<counter;i++)
{
sum+=n[i];
}

average=average/counter;

return average;
}

I am getting as an input 2.5, but the average should be 2.0. How can I solve this problem without using ArrayList?

output = 2.0 because 5/2=2
change datatype variable sum
int to float.

Answer 3

public class Student
{
public int counter;
public int sum;
public float average;
public int[]n;

public float inputPoints(int point)
{
counter++;

n=new int[counter];

//storing the points in the array n
for(int i=0;i<counter;i++)
{
n[i]=point;
}

//calculating the sum
for(int i=0;i<counter;i++)
{
sum+=n[i];
}

average=sum/counter;

return average;
}

public String toString()
{
return "Average: "+average;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

Student s1=new Student();

s1.inputPoints(3);
s1.inputPoints(1);
s1.inputPoints(2);

System.out.println(s1);

}
}
