I'm matching the value of each of the 2D array against 1D Array. 1D array is actually the conversion of 2D to 1D array, so that i can use Arrays.sort() to sort the array to ascending order. However when i'm printing out, it give me extra values. I should have 6 values printed out only.
Code:
 In score 2D array:
[ i ] [ j ]    [ value ]
  0    0          1.0
  0    1          0.04
  1    0          0.24 
  1    1          1.0
  2    0          0.15
  2    1          0.14
Code:
Before sorting newArray 1D array:
 [ a ]          [ value ]
   0               1.0
   1               0.24
   2               0.24
   3               1.0
   4               0.15
   5              0.14
Code:
After sorting newArray 1D array:
 [ a ]           [ value ]
   0               0.14
   1               0.15
   2               0.24
   3               0.24
   4               1.0
   5               1.0
Code:
The output is:
[ i ] [ j ]      newArray[a] 
  2    1            0.14
  2    0            0.15
  0    1            0.24
  1    0            0.24
  0    1            0.24  //this is repeated
  1    0            0.24  //this is repeated
  0    0             1.0
  1    1             1.0
  0    0             1.0   //this is repeated
  1    1             1.0  //this is repeated
Here is my code:
Code:
queryIDArray(length of 3) and srnIDArray(length of 2) are all 1D arrays.
public static void sortArray(float[][] score)
{
	int k=0;
		
	float[] newArray = new float[queryIDArray.length*scrnIDArray.length];

	for(int i=0;i<queryIDArray.length;i++)
	{
		for(int j=0;j<scrnIDArray.length;j++)
		{
			newArray[k] = score[i][j];
			k++;
		}                                      
	}
		
	Arrays.sort(newArray);
	for(int a=0;a<newArray.length;a++)
	{
		for(int i=0;i<queryIDArray.length;i++)
		{
			for(int j=0;j<scrnIDArray.length;j++)
			{
			
				if(newArray[a]==score[i][j]) 
					System.out.println(i+" "+j+" "+newArray[a]);
					//what condition should I put so that it will not repeat?
			
			}                                      
		}
	}
}
How can I check if the value is printed out once, it would not print it out again?
