// Program Integers: Get five decimal numbers and convert

// prompt user for five decimal numbers = decNum

When working in Terminal (or the Console), the java interpretor is, in fact, working with String. Which is good. Strings have the greatest amount of methods. Strings allow the most versitillity with conversions of Types. Consider:

public class SumTheNumbers {

    private Scanner scanner;

    public SumTheNumbers() {

        scanner = new Scanner(System.in);

        intro();

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        new SumTheNumbers();

    }

    private void intro() {

        String[] ordinals = {&quot;first&quot;, &quot;second&quot;, &quot;third&quot;, &quot;fourth&quot;, &quot;fifth&quot;};

        System.out.println(&quot;Input 5 decimal numbers, such as 5.11, and&quot;);

        System.out.println(&quot;this program will calculate the average&quot;);

        System.out.println(&quot;--------------------...

        float[] inputs = new float[5];

        for (int i = 0; i &lt; inputs.length; i++) {

            System.out.println(&quot;Input the &quot; + ordinals[i] + &quot; decimal number: &quot;);

            inputs[i] = scanner.nextFloat();

        }

        System.out.print(&quot;The numbers you entered are: &quot;);

        for (int i = 0; i &lt; inputs.length-1; i++) {

            System.out.print(inputs[i]+&quot;, &quot;);

            

        }

// hack so there isn&#039;t a comma on the end of the String out...

        System.out.print(inputs[inputs.length-1]...

        System.out.print(&quot;\n&quot;);

        System.out.println(&quot;===========&quot;);

        int avg = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i &lt; inputs.length; i++) {

            String s = String.format(&quot;%3.0f&quot;, inputs[i]);

            s = s.trim();

            int x = Integer.parseInt( s );

            avg += x;

        }

        System.out.print(&quot;The average is: &quot;);

        System.out.print( avg / inputs.length );

        System.out.print(&quot;\n&quot;);

    }

    

}

////////////////

One powerful new feature of java is String.format. Look for that line above.

String s = String.format(&quot;%3.0f&quot;, inputs[i]);

% = an entity

3.0f = make a String 3 chars wide with no decimal (it will round)

, = start of the 2nd field String.format requires

inputs[i] = the array of the users input values

That makes a String. ie 3.55 turns into _ _ 4

String.trim() turns it into 4

Integer.parseInt(String) turns it back into a number
