I’ve been trying to display the highest score from the URL file and have been able to display the entire score list but I cant get it to display the maximum or it throws an error. I was able to display the scores separately
JavaScript
x
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Q3 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
String URLString = "https://itec-java.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/scores.txt";
URL theURL = new URL(URLString);
Scanner urlReader = new Scanner(theURL.openStream());
int highest = -1;
String winner = "";
while (urlReader.hasNext()) {
String line = urlReader.nextLine();
String[] nameScoreArray = line.split(",");
for (String nameScore : nameScoreArray) {
String[] finalData = nameScore.split(":");
if (Integer.parseInt(finalData[1]) > highest) {
system.out.println(finalData[1]);
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
but when I tried to add this to the if statmeny instead of the system.out.println(finalData[1]);
It failed
JavaScript
int max = finalData.length;
for(int num : finalData){
if ( num > max){
max = num;
}

Answer
finalData is Strig array, so you can iterate it by using String object only. You can use this code:
JavaScript
int max = finalData.length;
for(String numString : finalData){
int num = Integer.parseInt(numString);
if ( num > max){
max = num;
}
