Printing a large listed array in Java

DMJ :

The problem is I can't figure out, how to have my output come out as below format:

"Student 1: 98.2"
"Student 2: 12.1"
"Student 3: 33.6"
"Student 4: 47.8"
"Student 5: 15.0"
"Student 6: 69.2"
"Student 7: 55.7"
"Student 8: 82.2"
....etc

I have to use the printf function for width and the for loop for the random scores. Not sure how to list this array of student numbers next to each other in the printf line of code. Thank you in advance for any tips and help!

*********************** PROGRAM BELOW *************************

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Assignment {
public static void main(String[] args) {

  // input Scanner
  Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

  // declare variables
  double[] midtermScores = new double [60];
  double avg = 0.0;
  double sum = 0.0;
  int count = 0;


  // use a for loop to print an array of 60 randomly generated midterm scores
  System.out.println("Here are the Midterm #2 scores for the class:");
  for (int i = 0; i < midtermScores.length; i++) {
     midtermScores[i] = Math.random() * 100;
     System.out.printf("Student %3.1f", midtermScores[i]);
     System.out.println();
     sum += midtermScores[i];
  }

  // find the average of the 60 midterm scores
  avg = sum / midtermScores.length;
  System.out.printf("The average scores is: %3.1f%%", avg);
  System.out.println();

  // count how many students scored above the average
  for (int i = 0; i < midtermScores.length; i++) {
     if (midtermScores[i] > avg) {
        count++;      
     }
  }
  System.out.println(count + " students scored above the average. Good job!");

}
}

If your need to align your output try this code:

        System.out.println("Here are the Midterm #2 scores for the class:");
        for (int i = 0; i < midtermScores.length; i++) {
            midtermScores[i] = Math.random() * 100;

            // edited here. %2d to add aligned 2 digit student number
            System.out.printf("\"Student %2d: %3.1f\"", i+1, midtermScores[i]);
            System.out.println();
            sum += midtermScores[i];
        }

So the output will be:

Here are the Midterm #2 scores for the class:
"Student  1: 85.7"
"Student  2: 5.9"
"Student  3: 74.7"
"Student  4: 0.5"
"Student  5: 90.8"
"Student  6: 76.7"
"Student  7: 64.0"
"Student  8: 34.7"
"Student  9: 54.9"
"Student 10: 1.3"
"Student 11: 19.9"
"Student 12: 96.5"
"Student 13: 53.0"
"Student 14: 99.9"
...

Remove \" from printf if you don't want "(quotes).
