java - Read in 5 numbers from a user and compute the frequency of positive numbers entered -

having difficulty trying write code problem above. please find code below. have read in 5 numbers , compute frequency of positive numbers entered.

import java.util.scanner;  public class lab02ex2partb {      public static void main (string [] args){         scanner input = new scanner(system.in);         system.out.println("please enter  positive integer");         int number = input.nextint();         for(int = -2 ; < 4 ; i++)              system.out.println("positive count is: " + i);      }            } 

your problem have task needs repeated (about user entering value); loop (the perfect mean things repeatedly) ... doesn't cover part!

for(int i=-2 ; i<4 ; i++) system.out.println("positive count is: " +i);

instead, like:

for (int loops = 0; loops < 5; loops++) {   int number = input.nextint(); 

then of course, need remember 5 values, easiest way there: use array; turning code into:

int loopcount = 5; int numbers[] = new[loopcount];  (int loops = 0; loops < loopcount; loops++) {   numbers[loops] = input.nextint(); 

and then, finally, when asked numbers, check data got in array compute frequencies. simple approach work this:

for (int number : numbers) {   if (number > 0) {     system.out.println("frequency " + number + " is: " + computefrequency(number, numbers));   } 

with little helper method:

private int computefrequency(int number, int allnumbers[]) {   ...  

please note: meant going - don't intend homework you. should still sit down , figure "computing frequency" means; , how that.
