Code:


import java.util.Scanner;
public class Lab7
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{

int x = 0;
int y = 0;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("how many points: ");
int n = input.nextInt();
double [][] points = new double [n][2];
double [][] distances = new double [n][n];
double [] averages= new double [n];
for (int i= 0; i < n; i++)
{
System.out.print(i + "Enter your X: ");
points[i][0] = input.nextDouble();
System.out.print(i + "Enter your Y: ");
points[i][1] = input.nextDouble();
}

{
for (int i= 0; i < n; i++)
for (int j= 0; j < n; j++)
{
distances [i][j] = getdistances ( points, x, y ); y++;
}
x++;
y = 0;
}

x = 0 ; y = 1;

double min = 0;

for (int i= 0; i < n; i++)
averages [i] = getaverages(distances, x, y);

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)

if (min > averages[i])
{
min = averages[i];
}

}
public static double getdistances(double[][] points, int x, int y)
{
int n = points.length;
double result = 0;
if (y != n && x != n)
result = Math.abs(points[x][0] - points[y][1]);

return result;

}


public static double getaverages(double[][] distances, int x, int y)
{
double result = 0;
for (int i= x; i < y; i++)
{
for (int j= 0; j < distances.length; j++)
{
result = result + distances [i][j];
}
}

return result;
}
}




Output with error:

I'm not going to take a look at the code since it's not in code tags, and is hard to look at otherwise.

You are receiving an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException which means you are trying to access the array at an index that doesn't exist (Meaning you have a negative number or the number is bigger than the array size). Make sure you are accounting for arrays starting at 0 not 1.

Ok thanks,I understand now what the problem is, thanks I appreciate it

Learn out to read stack trace

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 4[b]
at Lab7.[b]getdistances(Lab7.java:53)

you are doing array[4] which exceed the array size
