Consider N student reciving the marks x1,x2,......xN. Develop an algorith to compute the mean mark for male student that achieved a score lower than that of all female student. The marks are supplied one at a time along with the gender information. Specify the Algorithm using pseudo code and a flowchart

using standard deivation formula.

Think the flowchart through. This isn't exactly a Java related question, but just think, step by step how you could solve this algorithmically.

I advise you to look into arrays, and perhaps even ArrayLists (Google and the API are Great for this purpose, also Sun's Java Tutorials), then you will need to know how to loop through the array and select the ones lower than females. Then take the mean. Here are some great resources:

Java Tutorial (by Sun): http://java.sun.com/...books/tutorial/
Java API: http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/
Google: http://google.com/
My Blog (look at arrays): http://www.dreaminco...opper/index.php?
