[RESOLVED] Sum column in multidimensional array

* I posted this in VB forum at first by accident instead of .Net*

I am trying to create a console application that computes the row and column sum and prints the elements with the resulting sums for each row and column.

Module Module1

Sub Main()
Dim i, j As Integer
Dim array1 As Integer()() = New Integer(3)() {}
array1(0) = New Integer() {3, 6, 4, 5, 32}
array1(1) = New Integer() {2, 1, 2, 7, 8}
array1(2) = New Integer() {4, 5, 6, 9, 2}
array1(3) = New Integer() {3, 8, 1, 3, 9}
Dim rowsum As Integer = 0
Dim colsum As Integer = 0
For i = 0 To array1.GetUpperBound(0)
Console.Write("Elements in row " & i + 1 & " are ")
For j = 0 To array1(i).GetUpperBound(0)
Console.Write(array1(i)(j) & ", ")
rowsum += array1(i)(j)
Next
Console.Write("The sum is {0}.", rowsum)
Console.WriteLine()
rowsum = 0
Next
For j = 0 To array1.GetUpperBound(0)
For i = 0 To array1(j).GetUpperBound(0)
colsum += array1(i)(j)
Next
Console.Write("Column sums are " & colsum & ", ")
Console.WriteLine()
colsum = 0
Next

Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

End Module





My code currently prints:
Elements in row 1 are 3, 6, 4, 5, 32, The sum is 50.
Elements in row 2 are 2, 1, 2, 7, 8, The sum is 20.
Elements in row 3 are 4, 5, 6, 9, 2, The sum is 26.
Elements in row 4 are 3, 8, 1, 3, 9, The sum is 24.
Column sums are 50
Column sums are 70
Column sums are 96
Column sums are 120


My column sum code is currently showing the row sums.

I need the column sums to display in descending order. So i know it would require a sorted array, but i'm not sure how to go about doing that given i can't get the correct values to show up.

So I would need it to display as "Column sums are 12, 20, 13, 24, 51. " and then the next line would be "Column indexes are 1, 3, 2, 4, 5."

Can anyone help me?! :( :confused:

try this:

vb Code:

Dim array1 As Integer()() = New Integer(3)() {}
array1(0) = New Integer() {3, 6, 4, 5, 32}
array1(1) = New Integer() {2, 1, 2, 7, 8}
array1(2) = New Integer() {4, 5, 6, 9, 2}
array1(3) = New Integer() {3, 8, 1, 3, 9}
Dim NL As String = Environment.NewLine
MsgBox("row 1 sum: " & array1(0).Sum & NL & "row 2 sum: " & array1(1).Sum & NL & "row 3 sum: " & array1(2).Sum & NL & "row 4 sum: " & array1(3).Sum)
Dim columnTotals(array1(0).GetUpperBound(0)) As Integer
For Each a In array1
    For x As Integer = 0 To a.GetUpperBound(0)
        columnTotals(x) += a(x)
    Next
Next
MsgBox("column sums: " & String.Join(",", Array.ConvertAll(columnTotals, Function(i) i.ToString)))

yes! that worked.
is there a way to display the columnTotals sorted though? and list the indexes that correspond with the totals?

thank you so much for your help!!

vb Code:

Dim array1 As Integer()() = New Integer(3)() {}
array1(0) = New Integer() {3, 6, 4, 5, 32}
array1(1) = New Integer() {2, 1, 2, 7, 8}
array1(2) = New Integer() {4, 5, 6, 9, 2}
array1(3) = New Integer() {3, 8, 1, 3, 9}
Dim NL As String = Environment.NewLine
MsgBox("row 1 sum: " & array1(0).Sum & NL & "row 2 sum: " & array1(1).Sum & NL & "row 3 sum: " & array1(2).Sum & NL & "row 4 sum: " & array1(3).Sum)
Dim columnTotals(array1(0).GetUpperBound(0), 1) As String
For Each a In array1
    For x As Integer = 0 To a.GetUpperBound(0)
        columnTotals(x, 0) = (CInt(columnTotals(x, 0)) + a(x)).ToString
        columnTotals(x, 1) = x.ToString
    Next
Next
'bubble sort
For outer As Integer = columnTotals.GetUpperBound(0) To 0 Step -1
    For inner = 0 To outer - 1
        If CInt(columnTotals(inner, 0)) > CInt(columnTotals(inner + 1, 0)) Then
            Dim temp() As String = {columnTotals(inner, 0), columnTotals(inner, 1)}
            columnTotals(inner, 0) = columnTotals(inner + 1, 0)
            columnTotals(inner, 1) = columnTotals(inner + 1, 1)
            columnTotals(inner + 1, 0) = temp(0)
            columnTotals(inner + 1, 1) = temp(1)
        End If
    Next
Next
Dim msg As String = ""
For x As Integer = 0 To columnTotals.GetUpperBound(0)
    msg &= "index: " & columnTotals(x, 1) & ", value: " & columnTotals(x, 0) & NL
Next
MsgBox(msg)

You are a lifesaver!
