Ok so im doing a project for school and i made an array to add up the scores. (the project is a learning module, (game)). So heres my code, i have declared everything in my main program (starting one) called science.java and my two other parts of the game (true and false and multiple choice adds up, this one doesnt. Please help. Here are the declaring codes in my main program (its global) and here is the problem.

public static JFrame Lesson0 = new JFrame ("World of Eubacteria"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame Howtoplay = new JFrame ("How to Use the Program!"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame Testknowledge = new JFrame ("Test Time!"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame science = new JFrame ("Robbie's Learning Program - Bacteria"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame Testknowledge1 = new JFrame ("Test - Multiple Choice");
    public static JFrame Lesson1 = new JFrame ("World of Eubacteria - Continued"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame Lesson2 = new JFrame ("Land of Archaebacteria"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame Lesson3 = new JFrame ("Land of Archaebacteria - Continued"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame Testknowledge2 = new JFrame ("Test - True and False"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame Testknowledge3 = new JFrame ("Test - Fill in the Blanks"); //creates a frame with title
    public static JFrame Results = new JFrame ("Test - Results"); //creates a frame with title
    public static int sum[] = new int [4];
    public static double avg[] = new double [4];
    public static int counter = 0;


        
        public static double average (int sum){
        double average = 0.0;
            average += sum;
            average/= 15;
            average*=100;
            return average;
            }
            
        public static double averagesingle (int sum){
        double averagesingle =0.0;
        averagesingle +=sum;
        averagesingle/=5;
        averagesingle*=100;
        return averagesingle;
        }

If you can help id love it! Thanks People!!!

Code tags please.

[code=JAVA] // paste code here

[/code]

Please repost with code tags and point to the specific lines where data should be adding up, but isn't. Thanks.

So where's the problem? (Not that I really looked at the code yet, but you said "here's the problem", but then, didn't say what the problem was.)

Also, what is "global", as there is no "global" anything in Java.
