Who's learning this NOT to mod minecraft

You used to use the square brackets after the args like this (String args[]) and now you're doing it (String[] args) instead, what's the difference?

@williamsc Well, I'm learning this because of Minecraft, and I want to be able to make Minecraft mods, but I REALLY want to learn this so that I can make a cool game.

@bham6666 You don't have to use int. I am using doubles. He is just doing what he think is the easiest for us. I am for instance using a Scanner to input how many grades i have. That means that i have another Int called "many". So when i am writing the While loop, i am typing "while(counter < many)" and then the rest.

At the bottom of the code i am writing average = total / many;

Hope this helped you. Short answer: He just want to make the tutorials "easy" :)

@MrShubby12 Thank you mate :)

@Justoneofthebrothers If u watched his starting tutorial(s) he said it doesnt really matter where u put those"[]". So u can put them before "args" or after "args"

Wouldn't you have to use double average or divide by 10.0 because the average from 1 to 10 is 5.5?, or did you purposely round down due to it being grades? , I'm from the UK so e don't have GPA's

@williamsc I'm just learning this to someday make my own 2D games. I've honestly never cared for making 3D games.
