Checkpoint: Statistics Bureau
Challenge on lesson: Checkpoint: Statistics Bureau
The Statistics Bureau processes test scores in one pass each.
Implement three methods over an int[] scores (each 0โ100; the array is
never empty):
1. int average(int[] scores) โ the mean **rounded down** to a whole
number ((int) truncation is acceptable and expected).
2. int passRate(int[] scores) โ the percentage of scores โฅ 60, rounded
down (an integer 0โ100, not a double).
3. int secondLargest(int[] scores) โ the second-largest DISTINCT value;
every score is guaranteed to appear at least twice or the array is
guaranteed to hold at least two distinct values โ when all values are
identical, return that value itself.
One loop per method (no Arrays.sort โ this is a loops exercise), each
carrying only the state it needs. average({70, 80, 91}) is 80;
passRate({70, 80, 91}) is 100; secondLargest({90, 90, 85}) is 85.
