Hey,

I was wondering if you guys could help me with a homework problem that I have. I need to input data in from a text file and then put that data into two separate arrays. I believe I have that somewhat done now, but I will need to manipulate the data and add a third column to the printout. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to figure out what needs to be done next and if my current code looks correct.

The text file is in two columns: name vote

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Array
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException
    {
        String nameFileIn;
        int candidates;
        int numCand = 0;

        Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

		//Get File Name from user
        System.out.print("Please enter the name of the input file: ");
        nameFileIn = scan.next();

        Scanner fileScan = new Scanner(new FileReader(nameFileIn));

		//Get the number of candidates in the file with a loop to validate input
		do
		{
			System.out.print("How many candidates are in the file: ");
			candidates = scan.nextInt();
		}
		while (candidates < 1);

        String[] candidateLastName = new String[candidates];
        int[] candidateVoteTotal = new int[candidates];

		while (fileScan.hasNext() && numCand < candidates)
		{
			candidateLastName[numCand] = fileScan.next();
			candidateVoteTotal[numCand] = fileScan.nextInt();
			numCand++;
		}


		System.out.println();
		System.out.println("The election results are: ");
		System.out.printf("%s%20s%20s%n", "Candidate", "" +
			"Votes Received", "% of Total Votes");

	}
