java array passing, I keep getting the last array everywhere

I am having a problem in this code. what i am trying to do is read a file and store a studentID and score into an array of scores into the scores property of a student object, but I keep getting the last scores only when I print. Here is the code. can you tell me if my setter property is a correct way of assigning an array in the student class? the problem is the last line of the score file is stored in every array even though when I debug it I see the score array being passed and the studentID array works fine.

import lab6.*;//importing the necessary classes

public class Main 
{
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        Student lab6 [] = new Student[40];
        //Populate the student array
        lab6 = Util.readFile("studentScores.txt", lab6);    
        lab6[4].printStudent();         
    }

}

The student class------------------------------------

package lab6;

public class Student 
{
    private int SID;
    private int scores[] = new int[5];
      //write public get and set methods for SID and scores
开发者_运维百科    public int getSID()
    {
        return SID;
    }

    public void setSID(int SID)
    {
        this.SID = SID;
    }
    public int[] getScores()
    {
        return scores;
    }

    public void setScores(int scores[])
    {
        this.scores = scores;
    }
    //add methods to print values of instance variables.
     public void printStudent()
     { 
         System.out.print(SID);
         System.out.printf("\t");
         for(int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++)
         {
             System.out.printf("%d\t", scores[i]);
         }
     }
}


the util class --------------------------------------------------------------------

import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;

//Reads the file and builds student array.
//Open the file using FileReader Object.
//In a loop read a line using readLine method.
//Tokenize each line using StringTokenizer Object
//Each token is converted from String to Integer using parseInt method
//Value is then saved in the right property of Student Object.
public class Util 
{
    public static Student [] readFile(String filename, Student [] stu)
    {
        try {
            String line[] = new String[40];//one line of the file to be stored in here
            StringTokenizer stringToken;
            int studentID;//for storing the student id
            int[] studentScoreArray = new int[5];//for storing the student score

            FileReader file = new FileReader(filename);
            BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(file);

            boolean eof = false;
            int i = 0;
            buff.readLine();//used this to skip the first line
            while (!eof) //operation of one line
            { 
                line[i] = buff.readLine();
                if (line[i] == null)
                    eof = true;
                else //tokenize and store
                {
                    stringToken = new StringTokenizer(line[i]);
                    String tokenID = stringToken.nextToken().toString();//for storing the student id
                    studentID = Integer.parseInt(tokenID);
                    stu[i] = new Student();//creating student objects
                    stu[i].setSID(studentID);//stored in student object
                    //now storing the score-------------------------------------------------
                    int quizNumberCounter = 0;
                    while (stringToken.hasMoreTokens()) 
                    {
                        String tokens = stringToken.nextToken().toString();
                        studentScoreArray[quizNumberCounter] = Integer.parseInt(tokens);//converting and storing the scores in an array
                        quizNumberCounter++;//array progression

                    }
                    stu[i].setScores(studentScoreArray);//setting the score(passing it as an array)
                    //-----------------------------------------------------------------------

                }
                i++;

            }
            buff.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println("Error -- " + e.toString());
        }

        return stu;
    }

     while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
         System.out.println(st.nextToken());

Sample file Structure -------------------------------------------------------

The issue lies within the line

int[] studentScoreArray = new int[5];

You'll have to move this one inside your student loop and initialize the array per student. Otherwise you are reusing the same array (i.e. memory) for all students and you are overwriting scores over and over again.

// int[] studentScoreArray = new int[5]; // <= line removed here!!!

...

while (!eof) //operation of one line
{ 
    line[i] = buff.readLine();
    if (line[i] == null)
        eof = true;
    else //tokenize and store
    {
        int[] studentScoreArray = new int[5]; // <= line moved over to here!!!

        ...
    }
}

I havent tested the code with my suggestion, but take a look at:

int[] studentScoreArray = new int[5];

You create this once and once only for the whole file. A simple and easy fix is to do it for every new line read instead.

like this :

int[] studentScoreArray = new int[5];
int quizNumberCounter = 0;
while(..) { ...}

One reason you may only being seeing one line of results is that you are only printing one line of results:

lab6[4].printStudent();

You will need to change this to loop through the array if you want to see all the results:

foreach (Student student : lab6)
{
    student.printStudent();
}

On a side note, your array should probably be called something like students instead of lab6. Also it is idiomatic in java to declare arrays using Type[] identifier rather than Type identifier [].
